Quotes to Note

“I am a board certified internal medicine physician in Amarillo, TX. I have spent 10 years working in Indigent Care. I do NOT support the idea of allowing Emergency Contraception (EC) to be dispensed over the counter.

"How can the low dose OC be regulated by prescription, but allow the higher dose of the same medicine be allowed to be sold OTC? EC is a serious medicine, with serious related medical implications. If EC is available OTC, who will be responsible for following the patient?

"Who is liable if the patient has a serious health consequence?  At what point did giving a potent reproductive related medication without having an established chain of responsibility become good medicine? A significant market for this EC would be assumed to be youth. If a girl is under 18 and trying to hide her consumption of and need for birth control, this OTC might appeal to her. However, the adverse consequences could be significant. It would seem to allow for safer sex, so I assume many women would have sex more frequently.

"I am very concerned the rate of STDs, including HIV, will rise as a result. As EC would be available with no restrictions, I assume many women would use it repeatedly, and quite possibly continuously. This is a very bad idea that needs to go away…” [from AAPLOG, J. DeCook MD, 27Feb04]

Can You Hear Their Pain?

Research shows that about eight percent of the fathers who lose a child to abortion suffer severe psychological effects. That’s nearly 4 million walking wounded! Millions more suffer to lesser degrees. Most in the pro-life movement understand the importance of helping women who suffer from post-abortion stress. But have you considered the pain felt by the fathers? Do you know what the symptoms are and how to treat them?

Few pro-life leaders possess the knowledge needed to create awareness of the pain felt by post-abortive fathers. Further, they are not equipped to assist men who are suffering. That doesn’t need to be the case any longer.

Life Issues Institute is pleased to make available “Can You Hear Their Pain?” a PowerPoint-type presentation on men and abortion.

We’ve used more sophisticated software to make it extremely user-friendly, and it contains attractive graphics and images. More importantly, it will thoroughly educate your audience as to why men are affected by abortion, what the symptoms are and how best to treat them. The CD-ROM comes complete with both a secular and Christian version. In each case, a full script accompanies the presentation. You don’t have to be an expert to educate others on the effect abortion has on the fathers of unborn babies. There is also information on available resources to help men on the path to hope and healing.

You can help make a difference in the lives of countless men who struggle with a past abortion decision. Many suffer in silence, thinking they’re alone, feeling totally helpless and hopeless.

The first copy is $39.95. Each additional copy is $9.99. Order “Can You Hear Their Pain?” today from Life Issues Institute. Phone 513.729.3600 or order through our website at www.lifeissues.org.
