Quotes to Note

Every 38 seconds a woman lays her body down for an abortion, sacrificing her child because she lacks practical resources and emotional support. About two-thirds of women who have abortions feel pressured to do so. They rarely have the critical information that abortion can dramatically increase their risk of breast cancer.

Even 1 abortion can increase a woman's chance of breast cancer by 90%. Teens who have an abortion in their second trimester, have a history of breast cancer in their family, and do not have children later have an 800% higher risk of breast cancer.

Women have the Right to Know about the LINK between abortion and breast cancer. Women deserve full medical disclosure. Women can handle it. Women deserve better... than abortion.

["Abortion-Breast Cancer Link," Angela Lanfranchi, M.D. and Joel Brind, Ph.D.; Feminists for Life of America, 9/04]

 
If You Know Someone Considering Abortion... PDF Print E-mail

Each year, many American women are seriously injured at abortion centers.

Women have THE RIGHT TO KNOW the quality of care they can expect before receiving any medical treatment or procedure.

If you know someone who is considering an abortion, strongly urge them to get the answers to these questions:

1) Is the abortion center licensed by the State?

2) Is the person performing the abortions a licensed physician with admitting privileges at a local hospital, in case there is a problem?

3) What are the chances of complications from abortion and what type of complications have you had at this abortion center? 

[About 10% (1 of 10) of abortion patients experience immediate complications after legal abortion, and about 1 of 500 women experience life-threatening complications.]

4) In the event that there are complications, does the doctor or abortion center carry insurance to cover my medical expenses?

5) Are there malpractice suits pending against this doctor and/or abortion center?

6) If I develop immediate complications, how will you take care of me?

7) What are the alternatives to abortion?
