Quotes to Note

Over 50 MILLION abortions have taken place in the US since 1973. That means that every single minute, 2-3 babies are aborted in the USA.

It’s time to stand up together, make a difference, and End Abortion by 2020!

Make the pledge: Our tax money is used to fund abortion. We will work to stop this funding!

1. Pledge to Wear Black on Fridays. Join others and pledge to wear black on Fridays to mourn the lives lost to abortion. This is a very simple way for you to get involved immediately and show others what you believe.

2. Educate. Begin a dialogue with friends and tell them what you believe and why. Use the resources on this site to help educate them -- www.abortionblackout.com

Discuss with your children and teens the truth of what abortion is and how to prevent falling into situations where they would be confronted with having to make those tough choices, and what to do if someone they know is considering having an abortion.
Explain to your children -- to all the teens you know -- that Sexual Abstinence STOPS Abortion!

3. Donate $1 a week to make a difference. This is an easy way to make a direct impact in the life of a pregnant mother and her unborn child. Giving just one dollar for every Friday you wear black, will help... support Pregnancy Resource Centers across the United States.

These centers give women Real Choices that do not include abortion. They help pregnant women in life-affirming ways, by giving them free sonograms, providing them with diapers, formula and cribs, etc. They also help women through the adoption process if they choose, and provide housing if their families have abandoned them.

Find a pregnancy center in your area -- www.pregnancycenters.org -- and send them a donation as often as you can...

Why not VOLUNTEER at your local pregnancy center to answer the phone, do janitorial tasks, make repairs or remodel, organize baby supplies, teach, counsel, fund raise, or any number of other activities?

If not you, WHO?
If not now, WHEN?

Sign the pledge, Get involved, Spread the word...End-Abortion by 2020...

Is There Really Such A Thing As A Wrongful Life?

Consider these real life situations:

His mother was a peasant with a family history of deafness, who had already given birth to one mentally incapacitated child. The father was an alcoholic and was afflicted with syphilis. Should he have been aborted? Then there would have been no Ludwig von Beethoven.

His neck was so weak at birth that it had to be kept in a leather brace for the first five years of his life. His mother lived with the fear that her slightest wrong move could literally break her son's neck. Should he have been left to die? Then there would have been no Sir Isaac Newton, who gave us the three laws of motion, grasped the understanding of gravity, and invented calculus.

He turned out to be a dwarf and later a cripple, an object of scorn and derision, a "wrongful birth". Should he have been aborted or left to die? Then, there would be no Alexander Pope, second only to Shakespeare as England's most quoted poet.

She was afflicted very early in life with deafness and blindness. Yet she became one of the most remarkable public speakers and authors of all time. Abortion or euthanasia would have deprived our world of the courageous life of Helen Keller.

He had a clubfoot, but he still wrote "Prisoner of Chillon" and fought in the Greek war for independence. Through abortion or neglect, there would have been no Lord Byron.

Not all handicapped people can be a Beethoven, an Alexander Pope, or a Helen Keller. In fact, most people born with handicaps are just like everyone else -- working to the best of their abilities with the help of family, and trying to live in harmony with those around them.

As R.E.D. Clark pointed out, "Down's syndrome victims and other persons with very low intelligence are ideally suited for many necessary jobs...they prove reliable and their lives are exceedingly happy..." [Scientific Rationalism and Christian Faith] [article adapted from "No Such Thing As Wrongful Life", Robert Peterson, Celebrate Life, Nov-Dec 1998]
