Quotes to Note

The right to choose -- as American as apple pie! We Americans pride ourselves on our freedom to make our own choices. We have forgotten, though, that attached to every right or freedom is a responsibility which ultimately assures that no other human being is hurt while we exercise our rights.

Our choices reflect our values.

What values does abortion reflect? What is chosen in an abortion?

Abortion is the result of "the right to choose" gone wrong: the choice to harm and kill another human being without taking responsibility for the safety of that new human being who is growing and developing - and who will die -- in the process.

 
Women\'s Issues: Other Consequences of Embryonic Stem Cell & Cloning Research

Besides the ethical concerns surrounding embryo-destructive stem cell research and cloning, there are health concerns for the women "used" in this research.

Women are under increasing pressure to donate their eggs (ova) for research purposes of to freeze for future use.

However, the short-term risks to women, such as overstimulation of the ovaries, can result in infertility and even death. The long-term risks have not yet been adequately studied.
