Is Coercion of Women Acceptable ?

Sixty-four percent of post-abortive women surveyed indicated they felt coerced to abort, having no choice but to comply with the wishes of others.

The #1 cause of death among pregnant women is homicide.
Pregnant black women are seven times more likely to be murdered than pregnant white women. Often times the woman's refusal to abort precipitates the crime.

When women are threatened to abort, up to 80 percent feel guilt, regret, loss and depression afterward, especially if the coercion violated their conscience. They subsequently have shorter relationships, more divorces, live in poverty, repeat abortions, experience substance abuse and many more risk factors.

Studies indicate that there is a correlation between domestic violence and repeat abortions.

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.

 

Prenatal Partners For Life
http://www.prenatalpartnersforlife.org/

Prenatal Partners for Life is a group of concerned parents (most of whom have or had a special needs child), medical professionals, legal professionals and clergy whose aim is to support, inform and encourage expectant or new parents.

We offer support by connecting parents facing an adverse diagnosis (for example, Downs Syndrome, Trisomy 18, Anacephaly) with other parents who have had the same diagnosis.

We have many resources such as adoption agencies with clients waiting to adopt and love a special needs child should a parent feel they could not care for them.

We provide bereavement support including financial aid for funeral costs and markers should a beloved child not survive long after birth.

We also provide education and support for those in the medical community who are charged with the care of these "extra special" needs children.

We believe each child is a special gift ... and there must be an alternative to abortion and infanticide.

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

Find out why...Let's Love Them Both...
