Quotes to Note

Pro-abortion feminists consider abortion as the way to allow women to become unpregnant at will -- so as to become as irresponsible as some men. They look upon abortion as a way for women to become like men.

In reality, abortion forces women to surrender to pregnancy discrimination. Pregnant women are made to feel inferior to non-pregnant women. By settling for abortion instead of working for the social changes which would make it possible to combine children and career, pro-abortion feminists agree to participate in a man's world under man's terms.

Pro-abortion feminists have betrayed the majority of working women who want to have children.

Abortion risk for HIV, breast cancer

Women who have induced abortions have an increased risk of HIV infection of 172%, and researchers are at least 99% confident of this result.

"Significantly higher prevalences of infection [HIV-1] were associated with induced abortion (0.49%) than with delivery (0.18%) (OR: 2.72; 95% CI: 2.29-3.22)" [European Journal of Epidemiology, Deliveries, abortion and HIV-1 infection in Rome, 1989-1994, 1997, 13:373-378.]

A typical 15 year old American girl has a 10% lifetime risk of breast cancer.

If she gets pregnant in her teens and has the baby she reduces her risk to 7.5%. However, if she has an abortion, her risk of breast cancer rises to 15% (assuming she has at least one child in her 20's).

If the abortion causes permanent infertility and/or for other reasons, she never has another pregnancy, her risk rises to 30%.

[Brinton LA, Hoover R, Fraumeni IF, Ir. (1983) Brit. J. Cancer. 47:757-62]
