wackos use slogans, catch phrases and sound bites

See if you have been fooled into being an ape with

"A
woman should have a choice"
|
When
a woman conceives, she becomes a mother with child,
and her only choice is to be the mother of either
a live baby or a dead one. Abortion cannot end a woman's
motherhood. It can only end the life of her baby,
and she must forever live with the reality. Susan
Carpenter McMillan has stated: "As a feminist,
I believe strongly in a woman's right of choice. But
with abortion, we're really talking asbout the rights
of human beings verse the "right" of an
individual to kill another human being. We're talking
about someone's right to live versus someone's right
to choose death for another person. We're talking
about life versus a lifestyle."

| "Abortion
is good for a woman who has been raped"
|
Conception
from rape is rare, for several reasons: women can conceive
only a few days of the month; they may be of non-childbearing
age; many are on birth control; fear and anguish can
delay ovulation. Should conception from rape occur,
abortion is not a solution. Instead, it will likely
be a second traumatic experience for the mother, complete
with memory that her innocent child was killed for his/her
father's crime. In the words of Meta Uchtman, of Suiciders
Anonymous: " We found this experience [rape] is
forgotten, replaced by remembering the abortion, because
it is what they did. Expressed otherwise, consider how
similar rape and abortion actually are. Both are violent
acts against innocent victims who are given no value
by their aggressor. |

| "Legal
Abortion reduces back-alley abortions"
|
Prior
to legalization, 90% of illegal abortions in America
were performed by licensed physicians. Abortion proponents,
as Planned Parenthood, misrepresent the number of deaths
from "back-alley clinics" by using false estimates
of 5,000 to 10,000 deaths annually before Roe v. Wade,
where as in 1972, for example one year before legalization
of abortion in all 50 states, only 39 abortion deaths
were reported (Centers for Disease Control, Nov. 1980)
In truth, more women are injured by abortion today than
before it was legalized, simply because the number of
elective surgical abortions has risen from approximately
100,000 to 1.4 million annually. |

| "Abortion
prevents child abuse" |
abortion
is, itself, the ultimate form of child abuse and child
dehumanization, and contrary to why many Americans assume,
children from unplanned pregnancies represent only a
small percentage of abuse cases each year in the US

| "Abortion
saves relationships" |
Researcher
Emily Milling studied over 400 couples and found that
70% of their relationships ended within one month of
their abortion. Sociologist Arthur Shostak found that
three out of four male respondents had persistent day
and night dreams about "the child that never way."
And Linda Bird Franke has written: "In my research,
almost every relationship between single people broke
up either before or after the abortion. |

"A
woman has a "right" to control her own body"choice
Sucks! Prochoice really sucks big!
|
Yes,
but not another individual's body, which the unborn
child's body surely is. Can one body have two blood
types or be both make and female? Can one body outgrow
itself@ Dr. A. W. Ligey, "Father of Fetology,"
has stated: "Biologically, at no stage can we
subscribe to the view that the fetus is a mere appendage
of the mother. Genetically, mother and baby are separate
individuals from conception." As to the legalization
of abortion-on demand, many legal scholars agree with
Professor John Hart Ely, former Dean of Stanford Law
School, who has stated that Roe v. Wade "is not
constitutional law and gives almost no sense of an
obligation to try to be." Once pregnant, a woman
best controls her body by protecting her baby's sanctuary,
as much medical data confirms.

| "Abortion
prevents suicide" |
Studies
have consistently shown abortion to be a primary cause
of suicide and pregnancy to be a strong cub against
it -- even among women who were refused abortions before
they were legal. |

| "Abortion
relieves stress" |
Dr.
Anne Speckhard, researcher into the long-term manifestatio-
ns of abortion (5-10 years later), found that 81% of
mothers reported continuing preoccupation with their
aborted child, that 54% were still experiencing nightmares,
35% were experiencing perceived visitations with their
child, and that 96% felt their abortion had taken a
human life. |

| "Abortion
protects a woman's mental health" |
Proponents
of abortion have relied heavily on this argument, but
as early as 1970 the World Health Organization officially
reported: "Serious mental disorders arise more
often in women with serious mental problems. Thus, the
very women for whom legal abortion is considered justified
on psychiatric grounds are the ones who have the highest
risk of post abortion psychiatric disorders." Similarly,
the Canadian Psychological Association Journal (Nor.
1976) stated that "women with a history of psychiatric
disturbances were three times as likely to have some
psychiatric disturbance after an abortion." |
