Quotes to Note
Those with conditions that can usually be corrected medically - such as deformed feet and cleft lip - are instead being terminated. The number of abortions in England of Down's Syndrome babies now outstrips those who are born alive, despite the fact that those with DS can live long and fulfilling lives. "These figures are symptomatic of a eugenic trend of the consumerist society hell-bent on obliterating deformity - and at what cost to its own humanity?" asked ethicist Jacqueline Laing, of London Metropolitan University. "We are obliterating the willingness of people to accept disability. Babies are required to fit a description of normality before they are allowed to be born." "This is straightforward eugenics. The message is being sent out to disabled people that they should not have been born. It is appalling and abhorrent," said Nuala Scarisbrick. "Such statistics are an indictment of a society which places a conditional value upon its citizens, based upon how 'useful' they may prove to be in later life," notes Patrick Cusworth.

    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]

    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.
