Life Beyond Abortion
Stopping Abortion, Finding Life
Join Melissa Ohden, abortion survivor and host of Life Beyond Abortion, as she welcomes Lauren Eden from Georgia. Lauren’s mom halted a second-trimester abortion, leading to her birth at 26 weeks—a story of fear, miracles, and redemption. Raised by her biological parents, Lauren learned at 21 of her survival, sparking a journey of forgiveness and purpose. She shares how connecting with the Abortion Survivors Network brought community and healing, especially after her mom found peace sharing publicly. From isolation to advocacy, Lauren’s tale inspires hope for survivors and families. Follow her journey at abortionsurvivors.org or on Instagram (@laureneden_prolifespeaker) and Facebook (Lauren Eden Abortion Survivor).
