ST CLAIR SHORES, Mich., Jan. 17, 2013 /Standard Newswire/ -- Forty years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion. For thirty-seven of those years, Monica Migliorino Miller has championed the rights of unborn babies. In her new book, Abandoned: The Untold Story of the Abortion Wars, she reveals the little-known struggle of what it means to confront the culture of death head-on and fight for the right-to-life.

Abandoned has been endorsed by major pro-life leaders including Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life, David Bereit of 40 Days for Life, nurse Jill Stanek. Joe Scheidler of the Pro-Life Action League, says Abandoned is, "one of the most important books ever written on the subject of abortion."

This compelling historical narrative chronicles the evolution of the pro-life movement where pro-lifers are chained to machines, and impeding abortion doctors were common features of the pro-life landscape. Recounted are the arrests, court trials, jail terms of pro-life activists, and a disturbing detailed account of the finding of the victims of abortion in clinic dumpsters.

Through the use of journal entries, newspaper articles, court documents and letters, Abandoned achieves historical authenticity and provides a record of one of the most important moral dramas of our age. Stories include leaping across subway tracks to blot out abortion advertisements; witnesses given a list of words banned in a courtroom to be replaced with sanitized substitutes such as "medical equipment" instead of "suction machine;" an encounter with a supposed-nun working for an abortion clinic, and the discovery of a pet cemetery burning the remains of the aborted unborn with dead animal carcasses.

Miller states: "I give credit to Saint Benedict Press for having the courage to publish this work." It will likely make many people uncomfortable since real names and events are laid bare.
Abandoned is riveting and compelling at a time we are re-inaugurating the most pro-abortion president in U.S. history. "You can't live your life as if everything is normal," Miller says. "Just as the Newtown shooting was a horrible tragedy of murdered innocent children, abortion does the same thing. I hope Abandoned will cause people to wake up and face the attack on innocent life."

Miller will be at the March for Life book signing on January 24th at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. To schedule Monica Miller for an interview, contact Gail Coniglio at Teresa Tomeo Communications (954) 554-3967 or gail@teresatomeo.com.
