2011 Daviess County Right To Life Banquet
Melissa Ohden, Main Speaker For 2011 Daviess County Right To Life Banquet
Shown here is Melissa Ohden a survivor of a saline abortion as She told her story at the Right To Life Banquet held on Oct. 13 at the Simon J. Graber Building.
Ohden spoke of how she is one of just two people who have survived this type of abortion. Why she did survive may have been divine intervention as she later learned that a Catholic Priest was praying outside of the hospital where the abortion was being performed. She later learned this at a speaking engagement many years later as she ran into that priest and he related how he was there that day praying outside that hospital. There was no medical reason why she survived this type abortion.
The crowd in attendance listened intently as Melissa Ohden related her story and how she was later adopted and did try to find her biological parents. Ohden is now married and has a daughter and announced that she is expecting her second child. Over 600 people attended this annual event held annually by the local Right to Life Groups of Daviess, Martin and Pike Counties.
2011 Adoptive Child
Taj & Tonya Eaton Family Honored as Adoptive Family
Shown above is the Taj and Tonya Eaton Family at the Right To Life Banquet. Left is Grazzin Timothy Eaton, who was the adoptive child at this year’s Banquet, next to him is Taj Eaton, Grazzin’s Father holding son Wyatt, then Grazzin’s Mom Tonya and in front is Mia and Kaci.
Grazzin was selected as this year’s adoptive child for the Banquet and his picture appeared on the cover of the Banquet Book. Grazzin was born while his biological mother was in prison and Tonya was a caregiver for Grazzin. Years later after the mother was released from prison She asked if Tonya and her Husband Tonya could adopt Grazzin as it was more than she could handle. The Eaton’s did adopt Grazzin in October of 2005 and it seems to have been a real blessing to both Grazzin and his new Family.
