Your Child- your Other Choice

It's bizzare how a few tweaked words change the impact it has on some people. I am called an "anti-choice", because I defend the helpless unborn.

Why not say it as it is, ok? I am anti-abortion, not anti-choice. If I were anti-choice then I will be against BOTH the choices of the child and abortion, which is also apathy. I support choices but not all of the choices. Abortion is not the only choice.

It must be my Catholic education but even when I was shoved in the secular world and heard about the Woman's Choice because what they really are , are Pro-Abortion or Pro-death-to-the-unborn. I thought the education that I had about the teachings of the Church has left me but it got awakened when in a college class, abortion was talked about like it was the next donut shop.

So from Mass today, I picked up a literature that states: Choice? Or Child?It has a developing human fetus at the front. This was put together by Right To Life Education Fund.

Abortion Myths

Myth: Abortion is only legal through the first trimester.

Fact: Due to the radical scope of Roe V. Wade and Doe V. Bolton, abortion is legal through all nine months of pregnancy.

Fact: Over 77,000 abortions take place every year in the United States after the sixteenth week of pregnancy.

Myth: Women really need abortion for health reasons.

Fact: An Alan Guttmacher Institute servey found that nearly one-half of women obtaining abortion said they used no birth control method during the month they got pregnant.

Fact: Add to this the fact that, at most, only seven percent of all abortions are done for the mother's physical or psychological health. Rape and incest are cited as reasons for less than 1% of all abortions.

Fact: Nationally, 82% of women obtaining abortions are unmarried. The statistics strongly suggest abortion is used as birth control.

Myth: No one knows when human life begins.

Fact: The California Medical Association referred to "the scientific fact, which everyone really knows, that human life begins at conception and is continous whether intra-or extra-uterine until death."

Myth: Abortion is an unfortunate neccesity and doesn't happen often.

FACT: 1.6 million abortions take place each year in the United States. Nearly one in three pregnancies ends in abortion.

Myth: We need abortion to reduce child abuse.Wanted children will not become abused children.

Fact: Abortion has done nothing to reduce child abuse. Child abuse increased 500% from 1973, the year abortion was legalized through out the United States.

Myth: The typical abortive woman is a poor, black teen.

Fact: Two-thirds of women getting abortions are between the ages of 20 and 24. Sixty-eigh percent are white. And two-thirds have an annual income of over $11,000.

Hate me if you must. I am here to defend the helpless unborn.
