The video below is a talk by pro-life campaigner, Anouska Firth, and was given at the February 2026 launch of 40 Days for Life in Sydney, Australia. The talk describes her journey from addiction and abortion to healing in Christ.
This powerful video features the harrowing and compelling testimony of Anouska, a woman who journeyed from a devout upbringing to the depths of addiction and back to radical hope.
Anouska was raised in a faithful Catholic home, even participating in prayer vigils at abortion clinics with her family. Despite these deep roots, she found herself disconnected from her faith, leading to a decision at age 25 to undergo her first abortion. This event catalyzed a downward spiral into a world of drug addiction and homelessness, eventually leading to a second abortion funded by her drug dealer.
In this intense and emotional talk, Anouska breaks the silence surrounding the unspoken pain and psychological trauma of abortion. She candidly describes the “wicked web” of addiction used to numb her guilt and the “assisted assassination” of her children. Her story is a raw look at human depravity, but more importantly, it is a witness to the transformative power of the Gospel and the “radical hope” found in Christ. Now six years clean from heroin, she shares her journey to help others find the same freedom from shame and sin.
