Abortion Survivor
With Claire Culwell
Claire found out she was affected by abortion about three years ago.
Her birth mother was 13 years old at the time she became pregnant with Claire. Her mother took her straight to an abortion clinic where she had a surgical abortion. After thinking she had “fixed the problem,” a few weeks later her young mother realized her belly was still growing. Her mother took her back to the abortion clinic where she learned that she had been pregnant with twins…One was aborted; One survived.
In this poignant conversation with Sharon Betters, Claire describes how her birth mother told her about the abortion, Claire’s response to the news, and how she is watching the Lord bring beauty from ashes as she shares her story across the country as a means of showing a real life baby is the victim of abortion.
Biography of Clair Culwell
When Claire met her biological mother in March of 2009, she was told her life was a miracle.
Claire's biological mom became pregnant at the age of 13. Her biological grandmother took her birth mother to an abortion clinic where she had a D and E procedure performed on her. Weeks later she realized she was still pregnant. After consulting with the abortionist who performed the first abortion, she was informed she had been pregnant with twins... only one of the twins had been aborted, the second baby had been undetected. Referred to an out-of-state late-term abortion clinic to do a second abortion, Claire's birthmother was told an abortion would not be an option. Claire was born at 30 weeks gestation, weighing 3 lbs. 2 oz. She was adopted shortly after birth by an amazing family, whom she dearly loves.
Today Claire shares her miracle testimony nationally and internationally for churches, fundraising banquets, and college events. Her story encourages everyone to know that God has a plan for your life and to live with purpose and passion.
She has also been featured in the national media on Fox News, Focus on the Family and many other news outlets. Learn more about Claire at http://www.claireculwell.com/
