Gianna: Aborted, and Lived to Tell about It (Focus on the Family)

The book is a well written, true account that gives you a first hand look at our humanity and the sacredness of life.

Easy to read from start to finish. I was impressed enough to give as a gift

Wow this is a very strong and powerful answer to abortions . This young lady has got guts and then some.There were a few images that got me upset but this is not a nice war we are in.Babies which to me is as soon the Mom to be finds out she is expecting a baby, where are the Dads in this whole mess, are they also making the choice to End a life or to have a change of heart and be the Father to that child that you had time to start in life.But it was very interesting to see what this young lady goes through both good and bad thoughts from both side of the issue.

Read this biography of a person who was not just considered for abortion but was actually aborted and refused to die. This book was an incredible insight for me several years ago, and I bought this one to share. The controversy around this young woman's birth is easily dispelled by verifiable records, and the impact her presence has is profound. She is alive only because one nurse could not ignore the fetus's/baby's struggle to live and could not allow her to die (or simply kill her). The details of the child's survival and existance create a tremendous opportunity to weigh the issue of choice and responsibility.

This book is a powerful story of a young woman who survived an abortion and went on to lead a very productive life. It really opens one's eyes to the tragedy of abortion, and how it affects not only the unborn, but the mother who chooses to end her baby's life. Beautifully written - it is a story of courage, truth, and how God can work powerfully in difficult circumstances. Gianna is an inspiration to all those who care about the sanctity of all life..

I liked how the reporter knew all sides of the story: birth mother, foster mother, adopted mother, and Gianna, but it did get a little mundane at times as she tells us how Gianna then moved to this school and this school, etc. I'm glad God saved this life, so she could join the others in the fight to prove life does exist inside the womb. Her story must be told over and over again.

I read this book over 10 years ago. The Amish community shared it with me. My eyes are opened even more now that I am a volunteer to start and finance a pregnancy crisis center. The truth must be shared. The holocaust has continued far to long on America's soil. God forgive us.

I am so glad the author wrote this book. And that she survivedthe abortion her mother was having.

I was told that the movie "October Baby" was based on this book. It has some similarities, but definitely not the same. Great read though!
