Quotes to Note

Recently a young woman at San Jose State University received a copy of You Can Stop Injustice-HLA's exciting new campus supplement.

Her response was typical of students who read our materials:

Before I read your papers, I didn't have much against abortion before 3 weeks of pregnancy, but now that I know the procedure, it opened my eyes to the pure evil behind it all... No life is worth less than another, we are all equal and are all sent to earth for a reason. God loves us all... I am 110% against abortion!     A life is a life...

With responses like this, no wonder we have requests to develop new materials to reach other populations.

HLA's second edition of Did You Know? is designed to fill this need for an educational resource that reaches the African American community with the pro-life message.

New articles such as "A Planned Parenthood Insider Speaks Out," "Targeting our Children" and "Abortion & Premature Birth" makes Did You Know? an essential element of your pro-life tool kit.

78% of Planned Parenthood facilities are located in poor and minority neighborhoods.

In fact, Planned Parenthood's latest fact sheet illustrates how their business progressed between 2007 and 2008:

Adoption referrals plummeted dramatically from 4,912 in 2007 to 2,405 in 2008.
Prenatal clients dropped from 10,914 in 2007 to 9,433 in 2008.
Surgical abortions increased from 305,310 in 2007 to 324,008 in 2008.

 
We can see that the United States' largest abortion chain is really about abortion-and nothing else.

We know they target African Americans and other minorities.

Int'l Study: Having More Children Lowers Risk from Breast Cancer Gene (MNT, 5/06) PDF Print E-mail

 The International BRCA1/2 Carrier Cohort Study (IBCCS) examined the effect of pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding on women with cancer-causing mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, who have an increased risk of developing breast cancer.

The study [Medical News Today] found that while one pregnancy and birth had no effect on subsequent cancer development for those carrying the mutant genes, a woman's risk of developing breast cancer was lowered substantially when she had more than one child.

Breast cancer rates in women over age 40 dropped 14% with every additional child born. The study also found a difference in cancer development based on the timing of a woman's first child. Women carrying the BRCA2 mutation doubled their risk of developing cancer when they had their first child after age 20, compared to those who gave birth before age 20.

For women carrying the BRCA1 mutation, the opposite was true: women who delayed the birth of their first child until after age 30 lowered their risk of developing breast cancer. Participants in the study all carried a breast cancer gene mutation. 853 had developed breast cancer.

The IBCCS study was carried out by researchers in France, the UK, the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany and Canada. The German Cancer Research Center, Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (DKFZ), played a key role in the study. [Medical News Today, 31May06 , LifeSiteNews.com]
