Trinity Legal Center Press Releases
women in efforts to expose the truth about the devastation of abortion.
“I was wrong, and so was the Supreme Court," said Joyce Zounis, who had seven
abortions, beginning at age 15.
“It is a sad day as America reflects on the tragic loss of 50 million lives lost to
abortion,” said Caron Strong, who heads the Women’s Council on Abortion for
the Trinity Legal Center.
“There is much untold grief and heartache in the lives of the mothers, fathers, and
siblings who have lost these children to abortion. We will never know the
wonderful impact these precious lives may have had. May God forgive us,” said
Caron who lost four children to abortion.
Joyce and Caron know well the pain and regret of abortion. Like many women
following an abortion, they plunged into a destructive cycle, experiencing shame,
fear, guilt, grief, nightmares, depression, and desperation.
“I grieve for my children lost to abortion, and I grieve for the lost heritage of their
children,” said Joyce, who is featured in a video, “I Was Wrong,” a compelling film
portraying the tragic choice of abortion and the transformation beyond the
devastation of abortion.
“It’s time for change,” said Caron and Joyce. Both are looking to the day when
women and babies are protected from the harm of abortion. They point to the
price women pay when they choose abortion: grief, fear, shame, physical and
emotional problems, broken relationships and marriages, and destructive
behaviors.
The Trinity Legal Center also represents Sandra Cano, who was “Mary Doe” in Doe
v. Bolton, the companion case to Roe v. Wade that brought abortion on demand
to America through the ninth month of pregnancy. “I will never give up fighting for
the rights of children,” said Sandra. “Life is worth fighting for, and the joy from
that special life we save is worth it all,” said Sandra who never had and never
wanted an abortion and wants to see her case reversed.
Caron, Joyce, and many other women who have experienced abortion are working
to change how America views abortion, even though it often causes them to relive
the pain of their own abortions. They share how abortion devastated them in
hopes of sparing other women from the pain and regret of abortion and to offer
hope to those hurting from abortion. They believe it’s time for America to hear
the voices of abortion.
