Quotes to Note

"Members of Congress, regardless of their personal views on abortion, ought to agree with public law that health care providers should not be forced to perform or fund abortions that they believe are morally wrong…To do so would force these vital members of our society to choose between keeping their jobs and following their conscience.

"It's time the purveyors of 'choice' practice what they preach and allow others the choice not to violate their conscience."

-- Family Research Council Pres Ken Connor, regarding ANDA (Abortion Non-Discrimination Act)

Abortion Increases the Risk of Premature Babies?

Published in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, the Canadian researchers found that women who had undergone a first or second trimester of pregnancy, when most abortions are conducted, increased the risk of low birth-weight babies and premature babies 35 and 36 per cent respectively.
 
Those women who had undergone more than one abortion had a 72 per cent increased risk for low birth weight and 93 per cent risk of prematurity.
 
The figures come from an analysis of 37 studies around the world, carried out between 1965 and 2001, to discover reasons why babies are born underweight and premature.

There are approximately 60 studies linking abortion to prematurity and low birth weight.

African American women abort at about 3 times the rate of white women in the USA. They also by far have the most prematurity and low birth weight babies...

So why don't we hear about this??

Let's get the word out!!
