My name is Larry Brennan and I am making an appeal here to all women who were on staff in organized scientology who had coerced abortions.

I ask that any of you who may be willing to testify that you had a coerced abortion while on staff in organized scientology to contact me as soon as possible.

Right now there are two cases ongoing that in part involve coerced abortions. One woman who was heavily pressured to have abortions recently courageously testified as to the details. Organized scientology lawyers tried to ridicule her while completely lying about their policies on abortion for Sea Org members and the pressure brought forth on same. She withstood their insulting and heartless lines of questioning that if she really cared she could have gone full term and turned her baby over for adoption, that she chose abortion over being sent to a lower org and that she really knew why all those Sea Org women had abortions by the boatload.

They lie that pregnant scientology staff members are not pressured at all to have abortions and that getting the abortions was always the 100% free choice of the women involved who did not want the babies.

Organized scientology attorneys claim that what they do that may result in abortions, human trafficking and a myriad of other staff-related abuses can be defended on grounds of “minister exemption” or otherwise all this that they do must be excused in the name of “religious freedom”.

Yes their position in effect is that the destruction of family and indeed life itself is part of their untouchable “religious freedom”.

Some good news in a recent case is that the judge denied organized scientology’s motion to dismiss the request for an injunction against abortions. So, the possibility of the court enjoining them to stop coerced abortions is still on the table.

The reason for the request that you contact me is that there is a short window in one case for a list to be made and filed in court giving the names of women who will in fact testify that while on staff they were coerced into having an abortion.

I will get back in touch with you and then with your approval get you in touch with an attorney for this case.

You can reach me via my private email of larrybren12345ATaol.com (with the “AT” representing the “@” symbol).

I completely understand if any of you do not feel able to help here but if you can find it in your heart to do so you may very well help make the difference to get this great abuse stopped on female staff of organized scientology once and for all.

Thanks for reading this and considering same.

On behalf of girls and women everywhere, indeed on behalf of decency and life itself, we have a chance to make a big difference right now on this one of the most major abuses. My interest here is seeing the abuses stopped now and forever.

I am telling you now that organized scientology is being notified of other legal demands and suits to come if they do not meet their obligations to others. In the course of interviewing people there is much coming up involving efforts to recruit young girls into the Sea Org. This brings about another goal on the part of those seeking justice here. And that goal is to put out to scientology public that they must keep their young daughters out of the Sea Org. Brutally hard work, abuse and forced abortions await them there.

In threatening me years ago for speaking out about beatings and other abuses, David Miscavige’s attorney told my attorney that organized scientology would never be reformed from the outside.

I say we show them how wrong they are. I say that we do not wait for David Miscavige to make a change he will never make on his own.

Let’s end this.

I want to especially thank the people who have been sending me emails as per the OP. I appreciate and am following up with you all.

I just wanted to make this little "update" on all the forums in which I post for all concerned reading this.

1) Any input from any woman who has information from any time in organized scientology's history, from any place (not just the USA) would be very welcome. If you have been coerced to have an abortion or were being so coerced but did not have the abortion and feel you might be willing to testify please feel free to email me as per the OP ("original post" in this thread). I will hook you up with the attorney if you'd like and he can help answer your questions. Together you can see if you might be of help;

2) One thing to keep in mind on the subject of coerced abortions is that the cases are asking the courts to enjoin organized scientology from coercing them in the future. No body has asked for any money for this. It is not a matter of money. It is a matter of trying to stop one of organized scientology most horrid abuses and to save lives;

3) A number of us involved with this, including the attorney for the case, have deep concerns about and have no desire whatsoever to put a bunch of abortion victims through further trauma if it is to mean great trauma to them. No one has ANY obligation to testify here. If you can testify then fine. But please do not feel bad in any way if you feel you do not wish to testify or that it would be too hard on you.

I just finished Nancy Many's book "My Billion Year Contract" . You can get it from Amazon or from the following link: My Billion Year Contract . I mention this because I have been incredibly moved by this book and it is related to this subject. I most highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to truly understand the horrors of what a person can go through at the hands of organized scientology. It breaks my heart to read about how they tried to use her family against her, how desperately she struggled and prayed for her baby through the horrid abuses of the RPF while 5 months pregnant and how she was driven to periods of insanity by the abuses within that organization. From Nancy's descriptions I could see what it must have been like in the last weeks of life for Lisa McPherson and others who were killed or who killed themselves or were driven to insanity by this organization. In her book Nancy also describes what she had to go through to testify against organized scientology in the Lisa McPherson case and I do not wish to put anyone else through that. So, if you feel you can handle it well without hurting yourself, please feel free to email me. But, if not, no problem at all. You have been a victim of a cult devoid of any real sense of love, of compassion, of dedication to those who are it's members when they are at the greatest need and it has no real competence at all in the field of mental health. It has been run as a organization of greed who will destroy your family and yourself for worldly gain;

4) Lastly, who I would most like to contact me about the possibility to testify are the ex scientology staff supervisors, seniors, ethics officers, guards or what have you that were involved in any way to coerce Sea Org women to have an abortion. If you pressured a woman to have an abortion on staff or if you witnessed it and knew the policy on this you have an opportunity here and now to stand up, spare these women further suffering and see that great justice is done. I would be very happy to speak with any of you and I hope you will at least email me.

No one has lead a perfect life. I believe that the great majority of us ex staff had deep desires to help and were not bad people. But anybody who was once on scientology staff has certainly done something which they now know is wrong. If you were involved in the above you have a chance to stop these abuses in the future by your testimony. How many more lives must be forfit before something is done about this?

Email me and let's go over this.

Here's to ex and current Sea Org and scientology staff women everywhere who were coerced into having abortions and to all the girls and women on staff now or soon to be on staff who will someday be so coerced if we don't stop this as love is given a back seat to greed.

And here is to unconditional love:
