Debra Braun and Joan  Appleton became friends when Joan was the head nurse of an abortion faculty in Falls Church, Virginia, and Debra was active in the pro-life movement. They
talked, corresponded, and visited with each other.

Though neither compromised her position on the abortion issue, their friendship grew.  At one point there was a rescue at Joan's abortion facility.  Debra came to town to take part in the rescue, and stayed at Joan's house the night before!

Friendship is powerful, and true friends lead one another to choose what is right.  Joan eventually chose to renounce her involvement with abortion and with the National Organization for Women.  In fact, she announced her intentions to withdraw at a NOW banquet at which she was speaking!

Joan now speaks publicly about her "journey from abortion to Life in Christ" and she works together with Debra at Pro-Life Action Ministries in St. Paul, MN. She can be contacted at (612) 771-1500 to arrange for speaking engagements.
