My Body - My Choice...?

In an abortion, what is it that dies?

Tissue, or Human Life?

To consider the fetus as part of the mother has not been defendable since the 16th Century, when Aranteus showed that the fetal and maternal blood circulations were distinct and separate.

A male body cannot be part of a female body, nor can two different blood types exist in the same body.

 
Possible Abortion Complications to Women & Men

Generally, 10% of women who undergo abortion suffer serious physical problems.

Approximately 1 of every 500 abortions involves life-threatening complications for the mother.

Visit "Published Abortion Studies" and "Published Abortion-Breast Cancer Studies" in this section for more detailed medical information about the adverse effects of abortion.

    Abortion is forever...

      If she is not alive, why is she growing? 

      If she is not a human being, what kind of being is she?

      If she is not a child, why is she sucking her thumb?

      If she is a living, human child, why is it legal to kill her?                [Right to Life Crusade, Inc., Tulsa, OK]

    "Every child . . . no matter how fragile their life or brief their days, forever changes our world."
    ~Victoria Miller, Founder, Trisomy 18 Foundation
     

    www.benotafraid.net

    BeNotAfraid.net is an online outreach to parents who have received a poor or difficult prenatal diagnosis.

    The family stories, articles, and links within this site are presented as a resource for those who may be asked to choose between terminating a pregnancy or continuing on despite the diagnosis.

    The benotafraid.net families faced the same decision and chose not to terminate. By sharing our experiences, we hope to offer encouragement to those who may be afraid to continue...

    At most, 1%-2% of the 1,300,000 abortions performed in the USA each year are procured for rape and incest; about the same number for genetic variations.

    Often, doctors press mothers to abort in order to simplify their own medical treatment and avoid the risk of legal action against them. Their own protection may be more important to them than protection for the fragile life within, or for the mother's emotional well-being later. 

    Improving medical technology has all but eliminated the "need" for abortion, even if the mother's physical health is endangered. Medical treatments are now usually capable of protecting both patients - mother and child.

    Most women, if really allowed to choose, would choose to give birth.
