Quotes to Note

The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has released Emergency Contraception [EC, also called the morning after pill, MAP] to the public Over-The-Counter (OTC). This potent drug will be on the pharmacy shelf along with aspirin and cough drops. Anyone over age 18 may buy EC, even sex predators.

Many physicians and individuals opposed releasing EC as an OTC drug for many valid medical reasons. Older men who sexually prey on younger girls would pressure them to use EC; this would place these girls in serious danger of STD infection. Also, the long-term effect of such high-dosage estrogen on young females has not been studied. Women who take lower dosage "birth control pills" need a prescription; higher dosage EC/MAP does not require a physical exam and girls/women will not have the protective support of physician oversight.

We were told that EC would cut the number of surgical abortions in half. In European countries where EC is freely available, abortion numbers have increased. Those who promised the lowered abortion numbers are now admitting abortion numbers will not be lowered.

The free, short video clip uses dramatization to show the viewer the basic technique involved in a partial birth abortion. A chair, a sheet, a baby doll and the actual instruments of an abortionist are used -- no blood or disturbing images. “Seeing the actual procedure’s steps, even so simply demonstrated, strips away the arguments of why this barbaric procedure should be allowed,” said Paul Nowak, president of R.A.G.E. Media, who posted the video on his blog site. (http://wildreelingtruth.blogspot.com/2006/04/free-online-video-partial-birth_17.html)

The clip is part of a presentation on pre-birth development by Dr. William Lile, a pro-life obstetrician and gynaecologist. Dr. Lile has created a multi-media presentation, “The Miracle of Life,” on the unborn child, using ultrasound images and videos of fetal surgery. He includes in the presentation a demonstration of the instruments of abortion, showing how they are used to end the life of the developing child in all three trimesters. Dr. Lile’s website states, “[My] goal is to use the visual technology of modern obstetrics to reveal the personhood of unborn babies threatened by abortion.” Dr. William Lile’s website:
