Sisters Who Survived: Rose & Michelle’s Story
Welcome to Life Beyond Abortion, a show hosted by Melissa Ohden, Founder and CEO of The Abortion Survivors Network. This podcast amplifies the voices of abortion survivors and explores the lasting impact of abortion on individuals and families.
In this powerful first episode, Melissa sits down with sisters Rose and Michelle, who always shared a close bond but never understood why—until their mother revealed a decades-old secret. They are both abortion survivors. Together, they unpack the emotional journey of discovering their past, navigating deep wounds of rejection and shame, and ultimately finding healing through faith and forgiveness.
Their story is a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of sharing the truth. Join us as we challenge culture and illuminate what life beyond abortion truly looks like.
