[In 1985], NARAL, the National Abortion Rights Action League [now NARAL Pro-Choice America], kicked off a new campaign with lots of media hype! It was titled “Silent No More” and they announced that 40,000 women that had abortions were going to give an account of their abortions and the circumstances.
I wonder why the media was so quiet about the fact that fewer than 70 letters were ever presented. (Only 39 of which were from persons who had abortions.)
