Quotes to Note

Pregnancy Resource Centers -- which help women find viable alternatives to abortion -- are predominantly in white, suburban, and small town communities. Most of these centers are non-profit and are almost always staffed by trained volunteers.

However, Planned Parenthood explicitly identified its profit centers: "young women, low-income women, and women of color" [Planned Parenthood Plan of Action, 1997].

Studies show that 62.5% of Planned Parenthood facilities are located in cities where Blacks represent a higher percentage of the population compared to the overall population of the state. [LifeIssues.org/connector/display.asp?page=05oct.htm]

Planned Parenthood grossed over $1 BILLION in its last fiscal year...

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!!
