Melissa Ohden
Melissa Ohden (August 29, 1977) is an American Christian and pro-life public speaker. She speaks of her experiences as a survivor of a failed abortion attempt. In 2012, Ohden appeared in a political advertisement sponsored by the Susan B. Anthony List, which aired during the 2012 Democratic National Convention, and in 2015, Ohden testified before Congress during a hearing investigating Planned Parenthood.
==Early life==
According to her medical records, Ohden was born during a failed saline abortion on August 29, 1977, at Saint Luke’s Hospital in Sioux City, IA. Ohden's adopted mother reports that medical staff said that Ohden was originally placed aside after the procedure, but that a nurse later noticed Ohden making small movements and grunting noises and sought medical attention for her. In her political advertisement, Ohden says she was "discarded" after birth. Josh Hicks, writing for the ''Washington Post'' disputes that Ohden was "discarded" or placed aside, noting that her medical records do not specify she was placed aside and indicate an APGAR was performed. Ohden weighed 2lbs 14 ounces at birth. One of the doctors estimated her to be at 31 weeks gestation; however, Ohden’s birth mother, a 19-year-old unmarried college student, was believed to be around 18 weeks pregnant at the time of the attempted abortion. Ohden was transferred to University of Iowa Hospital, where she was treated in the neonatal intensive care unit for seizures, as well as respiratory and liver problems. In October 1977, she went home with her adoptive family, suffering no long term health problems.
Ohden grew up knowing she was adopted, but at age 14, she learned she survived an abortion attempt. Ohden reported she was initially devastated by this information. She says she later found healing through Christianity and felt called to go public with her story in hopes of influencing the abortion debate.
