Life Beyond Abortion
Advocacy Born from a Sister’s Legacy
Public Affairs Consultant for the Abortion Survivors Network Sarah Moe joins host Melissa Ohden on Life Beyond Abortion. Sarah shares how her sister Nancy, born with microcephaly and cerebral palsy, shaped her resolve to end abortion. Facing societal judgment and calls for abortion, Sarah embraced compassion, now driving her ASN advocacy. She discusses protecting survivors’ stories, building trust with journalists, and pushing for policies like abortion reporting requirements to expose the issue’s scope. Sarah urges grassroots advocates to engage elected officials and listen actively to advance pro-life policy.
