The Justice Foundation represents the women and men of Operation Outcry, a ministry of The Justice Foundation that seeks to end the pain of abortion in America and around the world by mobilizing women and men hurt by abortion to become witnesses who share their true stories of the devastating effects of abortion. Operation Outcry is: Touching Hearts as women and men share their intimate, powerful testimonies that abortion hurts women, men and families; Changing Lives by helping those who are suffering in silence from their secret shame and guilt; and Restoring Justice through courts and legislatures. Operation Outcry is the largest collection in the world of legally admissible, written testimonies from women hurt by abortion. Operation Outcry exposes the two great lies surrounding legalized abortion: 1) abortion is good and safe for women; and 2) it is not a baby being aborted. Allan Parker, President, was lead counsel for Norma McCorvey, formerly “Roe” of Roe v. Wade, from 2000 to 2012, and Sandra Cano, the “Doe” of Doe v. Bolton, until 2014 in their efforts to overturn the two landmark cases that brought legalized abortion on demand to America.
