Quotes to Note

“We have heard a great deal about stem cells lately.

"There are two basic types: stem cells gathered by killing human embryos, and stem cells from adults or from the placenta or umbilical cord of newborn babies.  

"We need to promote the use of umbilical cord & placental blood stem cells, and adult stem cells, because these are morally and ethically acceptable -- and because they work!

"The people of America need to be made aware that not one person has to date been 'cured' using stem cells from human embryos.

"On the other hand, adult or placental stem cells have been used successfully in thousands of medical procedures so far."

Abortion Contributes to Increased Suicide Among Youth (8/03) PDF Print E-mail

A report from the National Institutes of Health finds that not only are girls and young women more likely to think about committing suicide, they're much more likely to follow through. Dr. David Reardon [dir, Elliot Inst] says abortion is partly to blame for the increase: "Given the fact that more than half of all women having abortions are under the age of 25, and more than 20 percent of women having abortions are teenagers, the increased suicide rate among teens and young women is sadly not a surprise". An Elliot Institute study published in 8/03 Southern Medical Journal found that women who had abortions were 7 times more likely to commit suicide than women who gave birth.
