Science is in Agreement: Pro-abortionists Agree: In 1965: “An abortion kills the life of a baby after it has begun. It is dangerous to your life and health. It may make your sterile, so that when you want a child you cannot have it.” --Planned Parenthood, Plan Your Children for Health and Happiness In 1989: “Women are not stupid…women have always known that there was a life there.” --Faye Wattleton, past president of Planned Parenthood, NBC television broadcast, May 15, 1989 Planned Parenthood Federation of America is the number one abortion provider in the nation. The Founding Fathers Agree: “The care of human life and happiness and not their destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good government.” –Thomas Jefferson “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted…” –The Declaration of Independence “…Nor shall any state deprive any person life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” --Amendment XIV, U.S. Constitution

Abortion Defined Abortion ends a pregnancy by destroying and removing the developing child either in utero. Abortion is an act of violence that kills an unborn child and hurts the mother who has one. Since 1973, when the United States Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortion for all nine months of a woman's pregnancy for any reason, close to 50 million unborn children have been killed legally by the violence of abortion. This violence currently occurs 1.2 million times a year (3,288 times a day) in America. Click Here to purchase our brochure, "Just the Facts.” The victims of abortion are not only the pre-born children who die but also their mothers who are subjected to serious physical, emotional, and psychological complications. Fathers and other loved ones may also be at risk for post-abortion complications. Abortion-on-demand is also corrupting the culture at-large by advancing the false idea that human beings can solve their problems or escape their pain through violence, killing, and abandonment.

More about RU486 RU486: Some Frequently Asked Questions FAST FACTS on RU486 It isn't a contraceptive. Used at 5 to 7 weeks, RU 486 kills an unborn baby whose heart has already begun to beat. This is the only purpose for which the sponsor ever sought U.S. government approval. It isn't safe or easy. It isn't simple or convenient. It won't make abortion rare. Embryonic Stem Cell Experimentation Human beings, no matter how small, weak, or dependent, possess inherent dignity and intrinsic worth by virtue of their humanity. Thus, the intentional harm or destruction of a human being for the supposed benefit of another human being is wrong. This bedrock principle of traditional medical ethics was famously violated throughout the 20th century. Witness the gruesome "research" conducted on Jews and prisoners of war by the Nazis at Auschwitz and Dachau, the syphilis experiments performed on uninformed African Americans at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, and the intentional exposure of unwitting American servicemen to radiation during the 1940s. As Prof. James Burtchaell observed, the history of these experiments "shows well that when scientists and therapists set out to exploit one group to benefit another, it is invariably the disadvantaged who suffer for the powerful." During the last decade, the same kind of reckless disregard for the intrinsic dignity of human life has characterized the practice of conducting experimentation on pre-born children. This experimentation takes two different but closely related forms: 1) Fetal Tissue Transplants: The transplant of tissue from dead unborn babies who have been aborted or live unborn babies who are about to be aborted into individuals who have incurable conditions or diseases. 2) Live Human Embryo Experimentation: The creation or use of human life in the laboratory for harmful tests that involve destroying or discarding the live human embryo. Of all human beings, pre-born human life is most vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. While Dayton Right to Life welcomes legitimate medical advances to alleviate suffering and cure disease, those advances must never result from the intentional death and destruction of unborn human beings. Adult Stem Cells are safe and successful, curing over 70 illnesses and health issues. We fully support Adult Stem Cell Research. As Do No Harm: The Coalition of Americans for Research Ethics (www.stemcellresearch.org) recently concluded its statement, On Human Embryos and Stem Cell Research, "If anything can be gained from the cruel atrocities committed against human beings in the last century and a half, it is the lesson that the utilitarian devaluation of one group of human beings for the alleged benefit of others is a price we simply cannot afford to pay." The foundation for this baseline principle of medical ethics comes from the Hippocratic Oath. Euthanasia Euthanasia is the purposeful killing by act or omission of a dependent human being for his/her alleged benefit. Euthanasia has been advocated for certain classes of human beings, including the handicapped young, the mentally impaired, the terminally ill and the comatose. The inevitable result of this trend will be to escalate from killing for the alleged benefit of an individual to killing for the convenience of others. Euthanasia violates the principle that each human being has intrinsic dignity and value, regardless of age, physical or mental condition, or state of dependency. Euthanasia seeks to improve the quality of life, not by mutually ennobling acts of care and assistance, but by exterminating those who fall below some arbitrary standard. Killing is never a proper expression of compassion. We approve of the accepted medical practice of administering pain-relieving drugs in whatever dosage necessary to alleviate the suffering of the terminally ill, as long as there is no intent to bring about or hasten the patient's death. We care about human life and about people and families facing difficult medical decisions. We promote positive steps of advocacy to protect all human life, no matter what its situation on the continuum of life. |

Nick Cannon The popular video from rapper Nick Cannon details his gratitude to his mother for choosing to give him life.
When they say.....you say! When people say, “It’s a woman’s right to choose.” You can say, “Once a woman is pregnant, she already has a child; the choice is what to do with him or her. Although the word ‘choice’ sounds positive, the actual choice is whether to have a live child or a When people say,“You can’t legislate morality.” You can say, “We hear the familiar cry that morals can’t be legislated. This may be true, but behavior can be regulated. The law may be not able to make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me.” –Martin Luther King Jr. You can say, “Just because one of the Ten Commandments is ‘You shall not steal,’ does not mean that laws against theft are based solely on religion. The life of the baby is dramatically more valuable than any personal property which is protected from theft!”
