Melissa Ohden is a prolific pro-life speaker, author of You Carried Me, A Daughter’s Memoir, founder of The Abortion Survivors Network, and a Catholic wife and mother.

In 1977, as a baby at 31-weeks gestation, Melissa Ohden survived a botched saline infusion abortion at St. Luke’s Hospital in Sioux City, Iowa. Melissa’s less than 3lb. body had been laid aside on the assumption that she was dead or dying. Thanks be to God, a nurse heard her whimper, realized she was alive, and saved her life.

Melissa was previously a guest on LWEA for episodes 13 and 66.
