First of all, take time to learn about all your alternatives. Don't let anyone force you into a decision you will regret. You are the one who will live with the consequences of your decision. You have the right to choose life.

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]

The function of RU 486 is to cause an early, chemical abortion.

Several documented deaths of women who were aborting with RU 486 have occurred.

Abortion is often not wanted by the woman. Studies now show that 30% to 60% of all women procuring abortions feel pressured to do so. Homicides of pregnant women are on the rise, often because women refuse to kill their unborn children.

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. 

Men also suffer from the effects of abortion...

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.

These are real life experiences of women and men who are dealing with the aftermath of abortion in their lives.

Abortion does not "solve" a "problem"; it just creates more problems.
