She traveled to Oklahoma with a simple gift and a handwritten card: “Thank you for choosing life for me.” What Claire Colwell heard back from her birth mother, Tanya, turned that reunion into a revelation and rewrote everything Claire thought she knew about her own beginning. Claire is an adopted woman who later learns she survived a late-term abortion attempt, and that she was a twin whose sibling did not survive.

Claire explains how she went from an introvert who barely knew what Planned Parenthood was to a national pro-life speaker, and what happens when abortion survivors tell their stories in public spaces, state hearings, and hostile crowds. Her message is clear: speak up, support women in crisis, and help build a culture that protects both mother and child.
