Testimonials

"Jane Brennan's story is one of reconciliation, healing and hope. Through the telling of her experience with abortion, Jane is living the witness that Pope John Paul II had hoped post-abortive women would embrace. In Evangelium Vitae, he addressed women who've had abortions with these words: 'you can be among the most eloquent defenders of everyone's right to life. Through your commitment to life, whether by accepting the birth of other children or by welcoming and caring for those most in need of someone to be close to them, you will become promoters of a new way of looking at human life. (no. 99)' Jane is seeking to do exactly that. Her witness has taken courage and humility. Her desire to tell her story reveals her love for human life, and particularly, her love for women. I hope she succeeds in communicating to many her message of hope in the love and mercy of God."
