Quotes to Note

"Comparing the maternal mortality risk of childbirth to that of abortion, when proper weight is given to the increased risk of breast cancer and suicide due to abortion, and the decreased risk of ovarian cancer with full-term pregnancy, abortion is many times more hazardous to the mother in the long run than carrying a child to term."

-- Chris Kahlenborn M.D., "Breast Cancer: Abortion and the Pill"

    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.
