“Sharing Our Stories”
Jewels Green, Philadelphia
About Jewels: Jewels Green is a former abortion clinic worker who was pressured into an abortion as a teenager and survived a subsequent suicide attempt. She is a mother, writer, public speaker, volunteer, and tireless advocate for the right to life from conception to natural death. Jewels’ candid articles have been published online and in print and she is featured in the documentary film 40 and in the book We Choose Life: Authentic Stories, Movements of Hope.
Her incredible transformation and conversion to championing the pro-life worldview is proof that people can heal from abortion. She is overjoyed to see the tide shifting in public opinion about abortion and credits this, in part, to the peaceful, prayerful presence of dedicated individuals providing material assistance to pregnant mothers and families in need. Jewels lives in the suburbs of Philadelphia and her full-time job is stay-at-home mother to three wonderful sons.
