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...

State Department Reports on Forced Abortions in China, North Korea (4/05) PDF Print E-mail

The Bush administration has released a report detailing the abuse of women in China and North Korea as a result of coercive and forced population control policies, including forced abortion, sterilizations, and infanticide.

The report, released by the state department, says that in China, "violence against women, including imposition of a coercive birth limitation policy that resulted in instances of forced abortion and forced sterilization, continued to be a problem" in 2004.

The report also documented specific cases of injuries, torture, and imprisonment of women, including the case of a woman who committed suicide after her relatives were detained in "population schools:" designed to compel them to accept the one child policy. The report noted that the government prohibited the use of such schools as detention centers, but said that the human rights violation continues despite government claims they are cracking down on abuses.

The state department also reported on conditions in prisons and detention centers in North Korea, stating "pregnant female prisoners reportedly underwent forced abortions, and in other cases babies reportedly were killed upon birth in prisons."

North Korean defectors have reported that pregnant women fleeing the one-child policy in China are often tortured and that women repatriated from China are forced to watch as their newly born children were killed. "The reason given for this policy was to prevent the birth of half-Chinese children," the report said.

The North Korean government has refused to allow human rights monitors to visit prisons there and one delegate told the U.N. that reports of abuses were propaganda from "egotistic" and "hostile forces" seeking to undermine the country's sovereignty.
