America's Shame: Roe v. Wade
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsbkLTxnb4I?feature=player_embedded&w=640&h=360]The Tragic Truth of AbortionNearly 57 million Americans have died in abortion mills. This is equal to the entire populations of several states.26 percent of all U.S. pregnancies since 1973 have ended tragically -- in abortions.A majority of Americans oppose abortion.A majority of women who have abortions believe they are violating their own moral conscience.Many women and girls are forced or coerced into abortions by a husband, a boyfriend, or their family.Many women have died from LEGAL abortion. Many more have suffered complications and had to be rushed to emergency rooms after botched abortions. The idea of so-called "safe and legal abortion" is a myth.Abortion significantly heightens a woman's risk of breast cancer, cervical cancer, and scores of additional physical problems, including infertility. Nearly one in 30 women will suffer a perforated uterus during abortion.Abortion substantially increases a woman's risk of emotional problems, including depression, anxiety and substance abuse. Post-abortive women are more likely to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital.Embryology textbooks state that life begins at conception. The baby's heartbeat can be heard at 21 days.Planned Parenthood requires abortion quotas of its affiliates to profit off the death of innocent preborn boys and girls.Planned Parenthood and other abortionists have a history of refusing to obey the law and report statutory rape of minors seeking abortions.The relationship between a woman and an abortionist is not a private matter between a woman and her doctor. A doctor is a care provider for patients. An abortionist shows up in a room to kill the preborn child of a woman he has never met before and will not likely meet again.Abortion employees lie about the human nature of the preborn child in order to sell abortion to women.Post-abortive women suffer significantly higher rates of accidents, deaths, suicides, and homicides.Nearly 8 of 10 post-abortive women experienced a preoccupation with their aborted child.Many people have left the abortion business and become ardent spokesmen for the value of human life, including the late Dr. Bernard Nathanson, who was responsible for one of the largest abortion factories in America. He had also co-founded the National Abortion Rights Action League and admitted that he and others made up phony statistics and polls to generate public support for abortion.Abortion increases the rates of child battering.There is never a reason for abortion. Adoption is the best option for someone who does not want to raise her child.Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a leftist and former ACLU lawyer, called the Roe v. Wade decision "heavy-handed judicial intervention" that was "hard to justify."Pregnancy by rape is statistically rare. Police and doctors reported that rapists are often sexual deviants incapable of impregnating their victims. Some women do carry their rape child to term because they believe the child has committed no crime.Abortion mills are often located in minority communities, and minorities are the victims of a disproportionate number of abortions.Between 20 and 30 weeks, a preborn child has more pain receptors per square inch than at any time before or after birth, with only a thin layer of skin.The size, location, and level of development make the preborn child no less human.No nation will prosper by killing millions upon millions of preborn children.America desperately needs to restore a culture of respect for human life from natural birth to natural death.
