Abortion survivor shares her story: Gianna Jessen testifies how she survived horrific saline abortion

In Parliament House in Victoria Australia, Gianna Jessen spoke to the House Judiciary Committee about her life as an abortion survivor, and how the media reacted to it. She did this in hopes that the parliament would bring back funding for Default Parenthood.

Jessen, now 39 and born in the United States, spoke about how she miraculously survived saline abortion. She has cerebral palsy because of it but never thought of it as something that could bring her down. For her it only fulfilled her purpose. In her own words she said, "I was never supposed to hold up my head or walk. I do. Cerebral palsy, ladies and gentlemen, is a tremendous gift to me."

Saline abortion is where abortionists burn the baby from inside, eliminating the possibility of breathing and generally should ensure the baby dies within the next 24 hours. This is not what happened to Jessen. She says, "Instead of dying, after 18 hours of being burned in my mother's womb, I was delivered alive."

In her exclusive interview with MRC Culture, she mentioned how people become defensive when talking about abortion but notably reminds everyone that she only wants everyone to know the truth behind her disability or in her words, her gift.

The reason she gained so much publicity is because liberal media did not really know what to do with her. She interprets it: "They just try to ignore me. Because I don't think they can really say anything to me—so their strategy has been, 'We're just gonna not talk to her pretty much at all."

Gianna Jessen is pro-life and often talks about her advocacy in saving human life. She also innocently admits to forgiving her mother despite the tragedy that affected her life.
