OK, here's the counter-petition: Modern Commentaries blog is collecting signatures of women who had abortions, and regret it.
The heading of the petition will read:
We, the undersigned, believe that life begins at conception, and that the dignity and life of every human being must be respected from conception to natural death. We believe abortion is a grave immoral act and constitutes murder of a human being, and that women and unborn children deserve better. Therefore, we urge our government and representatives to hear our voices as we oppose America's current abortion laws.

Welcome to the National Silent No More Awareness Campaign website! If you are visiting this site because you or someone you know is hurting after an abortion, please click here for a special message and helpful information.
"The Silent No More campaign gives a voice to women who have too long been ignored. Pro-life and pro-choice can agree: abortion is a tragedy, and women deserve better choices."
-- Author and Feminist Frederica Mathewes-Green
This campaign creates a safe place for women to break their silence about the pain of abortion. It is an honor to speak the truth and let others know they’re not alone.
-- Jennifer O'Neill, National Spokeswoman for the Silent No More Awareness Campaign
The National Silent No More Awareness Campaign is an effort to make the public aware of the devastation abortion brings to women, men, and their families. The emotional and physical pain of abortion will no longer be shrouded in secrecy and silence, but rather exposed and healed. This effort is a key to make abortion unthinkable and persuade society that women deserve better than abortion.
The campaign, a joint project of Priests for Life and NOEL, has three main goals:
Make the public aware that abortion is harmful emotionally, physically and spiritually to women and others; Reach out to women who are hurting from an abortion, let them know help is available;
Invite women to join us in speaking the truth about abortion's negative consequences.
