Quotes to Note

"Comparing the maternal mortality risk of childbirth to that of abortion, when proper weight is given to the increased risk of breast cancer and suicide due to abortion, and the decreased risk of ovarian cancer with full-term pregnancy, abortion is many times more hazardous to the mother in the long run than carrying a child to term."

-- Chris Kahlenborn M.D., "Breast Cancer: Abortion and the Pill"
