Quotes to Note

"Most patients who have complications from abortion do not pursue follow up treatment by the abortionist. They feel that somehow they deserve the  complication and don’t trust the abortionist to treat it. Even when a complication is serious and possibly a result of negligence, they fail to seek legal recourse due to the embarrassment brought on them by the procedure made public."    C. Paul Perry, M.D., Gynecology/Obstetrics
 
Abortion & Substance Abuse (AJDA,6/04) PDF Print E-mail
More than 20 medical studies have shown that women suffer from abortion, and the American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse just published the latest study of post-abortive women. Women who aborted had rates of substance abuse that were approximately twice as high as those of women who chose to give birth to their babies.

Science continues to provide evidence that abortion is extremely harmful to the mother as well as fatal to the unborn child. An increasing number of states are passing legislation that requires women be informed of the health risks they face when undergoing an abortion.

To see an example of the measures states are passing, check out FRC's State Model Legislation booklet below.
