Society Must Change!
What kind of world have we created, where the only "choice" we give women
is to kill their most precious gift? A society in which women have been so beaten down and powerless, that we
fight to sacrifice our children just to have a say in something, or because the world refuses to help us make room
for them?

" ...Therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live" Deuteronomy 30:19
"Truly you have formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mothers womb. I give you thanks that I am fearfully, wonderfully
made; wonderful are your works." Psalm 139:13,14
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you." Jeremiah1:5
“ Remember for whom we do battle--the women in crisis who may see abortion as the only alternative
to an unplanned pregnancy and the innocent child that never chose to die. It is for the soul of our country that we carry
on. Without respect for the sanctity of life, the phrase ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’ is an empty
slogan.”-Amy Myers
Abortion is sold to women, becuase it is an expensive surgical procedure, and aborted babies are often used for
medical research, abortion is a huge industry. Women are told that abortion is safe, that it is their body, and their choice...but
the truth is that abortion is dangerous and painful, and disgusting. I also did a little digging in my bible and decided that
GOD was definitely not down with abortion. I believe that we as humans are imperfect, and we make mistakes. Sometimes we commit
acts when we are not prepared to deal with the consequences, for example, we have sex when we are not ready for a baby. The
good news is that GOD doesn't make mistakes. I believe that if GOD did not want a human to be born, then he would not allow
conception to take place. How dare we kill GOD's creation? Every human life is a gift from GOD, a beautiful, precious
creation, special and unique, and GOD has a plan for every person he knits together, and that is why it is a heinous atrocity
to murder unborn children. GOD calls us to speak up for and protect those who cannot speak for themselves. This alone
is enough to enforce my pro-life beliefs, however i realize that others do not share my faith and views, but the problems
with legal abortion run deeper than religious morals...

- Abortion:
a-bor'shen n. 1. Induced
termination of a pregnancy. 2. A fatally premature expulsion of a fetus from the womb.
- In the United States, women choose to end about 25% of their pregnancies through abortion
- "Surgical Abortions in the U.S. (1965 - 1996)
Since the first states
legalized abortion in 1967, there have been over 42 million legal surgical abortions in the U.S. Some 1,878,990 were committed
before abortion was legalized nationwide by Roe v. Wade in 1973. An average of 1.6 million babies are killed annually. " from
ROCKFORLIFE.COM
- "Chemical Abortions in the U.S. (1965-1996)
Because most contraceptive
measures are abortifacients (drugs that induce or cause abortions), it is important not to overlook the number of children
killed by chemical abortions. Since 1965, an average of 10.8 million women have used abortifacient methods of birth control
in the US at any given time. Without throwing the equations at you, about 14 million chemical abortions are committed in the
US each year, giving us a total of 450 million chemical abortions between 1965 and 1996. " from ROCKFORLIFE.COM
- "Total abortion in the US (1965-1996)
If you add up the number of
surgical and chemical abortions, over 486 million abortions have been committed in the US from 1965 to 1996!
Keep in mind that it is now 1999, three years after the US government and Planned Parenthood stopped tracking the number of
abortions committed. If you add on another 1.6 million surgical abortions per year (4.8 million) and another 14 million chemical
abortions per year (42 million), the numbers jump to over 530 million babies killed in the US alone! " from ROCKFORLIFE.COM
- There is strong evidence that having an abortion can increase the risk of breast cancer, especially if the woman's first
pregnancy is aborted
- The risk of placenta previa, which produces extremely severe, life-threatening bleeding during
future pregnancies, is increased by 600% after an abortion. American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, #141,
1981, pp. 769-772.
- Complications in future pregnancies, such as excessive bleeding, premature delivery,
cervical damage, and sterility are risks of abortion. Acta/Obstetrics and Gynecology
Scandinavia, #58, 1979, pp. 491-494.
- Emotional and psychological disturbances lasting for months, such as depression, insomnia, nervousness,
guilt and regret may occur as a result of an abortion. Celeste McGovern, "Hag-Ridden by Post-Abortion Guilt,"

in due time.We make this prayer through Christ Our Lord. Amen

METHODS OF ABORTION (from ROCKFORLIFE.COM): WARNING! THESE ARE EXTREMELY DISTURBING,
READ WITH CAUTION!
1. Suction Aspiration: This is the procedure most often used in the first trimester of pregnancy
(the first three months). The abortionist inserts a suction tube (similar to a vacuum hose with an extremely sharp end) into
the mother's womb. The suction and cutting edge dismember the baby while the hose sucks the body parts into a collection bottle.
2.
Dilation and Curettage (D & C): In
this procedure, the abortionist uses a loop shaped knife to cut the baby into pieces and scrape the uterine wall. The baby's
body parts are then removed and checked to make sure that no pieces were left in the mother's womb.
3. Dilation and Evacuation (D & E): This form of abortion is used to kill babies
in the second trimester (24+ weeks). The abortionist uses a forceps to grab parts of the baby (arms and legs) and then tears
the baby apart. The baby's head must be crushed in order to remove it because the skull bone has hardened by this stage in
the baby's growth.
4. Dilation and Extraction (also known as D & X or Partial-Birth Abortion): Used to kill babies well into the third trimester (as late as 32 weeks old), the abortionist reaches
into the mother's womb, grabs the baby's feet with a forceps and pulls the baby out of the mother, except for the head. The
abortionist then jams a pair of scissors into the back of the baby's head and spreads the scissors apart to make a hole in
the baby's skull. The abortionist removes the scissors and sticks a suction tube into the skull to suck the baby's brain out.
The forceps are then used to crush the baby's head and the abortionist pulls the baby's body out the rest of the way.
5. Salt Poisoning: This technique
is used in the second and third trimester. The abortionist sticks a long needle into the mother's womb. The needle contains
salt which is then injected into the amniotic fluid surrounding the baby. The baby breathes in, swallows the salt and dies
from salt poisoning, dehydration, brain hemorrhage and convulsions. Taking nearly an hour to die, the baby's skin is completely
burned, turns red and deteriorates. The baby is in pain the entire time. The mother goes into labor 24 - 48 hours later and
delivers a dead baby.
6. Prostaglandins: Used during the second and third trimester, prostaglandin abortions
involve the injection of naturally produced hormones into the amniotic sac, causing violent premature labor. During these
convulsions the baby is often crushed to death or is born too early to have any chance of surviving.
7. Hysterotomy: Performed in the third
trimester, this is basically an abortive Cesarean section (C-section). The abortionist makes in an incision in the mother's
abdomen and removes the baby. The baby is then either placed to the side to die or is killed by the abortionist or nurse.
8. Chemical abortion:
a. RU-486: RU-486 blocks the hormone that helps develop the lining of the uterus
during pregnancy (progesterone). This lining is the source of nutrition and protection for the developing baby. The tiny boy
or girl is starved to death and then a second drug, misoprostol, causes contractions so that the dead baby is expelled from
the womb.
b. Methotrexate: Highly toxic, this chemical directly attacks and breaks down the
baby's fast-growing cells. It also attacks the life-support systems the baby needs to survive. When the systems fail, the
baby dies. Misoprostol is then used to cause contractions and push the dead baby out of the womb.
c. Abortifacient birth control (the Pill, Depo-Provera, Norplant, the IUD, Emergency
Contraception). These abortion-causing chemicals and devices can act to kill preborn children in the earliest days of
life. It is well known that abortifacient methods of birth control may act to inhibit ovulation and prevent conception. However,
most women don't know they also act to alter the lining of the womb so that the implantation of a newly conceived child cannot
occur. If the child cannot implant in the lining of the womb to receive nourishment, he or she dies.
 WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT:
- PRAY! pray for all those women who are scared and unsure about what
to do and considering abortion, for women who have had abortions and are suffering from the guilt and pain, for babies who
have been aborted, for those working to end the slaughter
- WRITE! write to your legislature, your representatives and officials,
to anyone who will listen or who can help make a difference
- BE EDUCATED! research abortion, contraception, conception, pro-life
and pro-choice arguments, so that when asked to defend your views you can inform people of the truth
- REPRESENT! wear pro-life apparel (available at rockforlife.com,
among other places), stand up and speak out when abortion is being discussed, don't be afraid to tell people the truth, we
all need to hear it
- GET INVOLVED! take a look at the links and see how you can get involved
with some pro-life organizations to help save innocent babies everywhere
