My Body - My Choice...?

The preborn child has her own space capsule - the Amniotic Sac...

She has her own lifeline - the Umbilical Cord, and...

She has her own Nourishment and Excretory System - the Placenta.

These all belong to the child herself and not to her mother. All these organs and systems developed from the child's own original fertilized cell.

What about your child's Choice to Live?

And the abortion rate went down 22%, from 27.4 to 21.4 abortions per 1,000 women.

The overall pregnancy rate dropped 12 percent, from 115.6 to 102.1 per 1,000 women.

Women 20 to 24 years old had the highest pregnancy rate, followed by women 25 to 29.
