Currently I'm collecting every piece of information I can find regarding this subject, and put it here with reference to the origin. I believe that this information is valuable to all members of society no matter which side of the abortion issue they find themselves. Please comment and spread it to people that may find this interesting.Abortion Awareness Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11747784410994833484noreply@blogger.comBlogger1281100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28122571.post-1170008612098177462007-01-28T10:16:00.000-08:002007-01-28T10:23:32.743-08:00

Our argument is a simple one: that abortion is a personal decision and the government has no right to intrude. In 2003, the most recent date available, 848,163 legal abortions nationally were reported to the Centers for Disease Control. Estimates for the total number are higher, perhaps more than a million. According to the CDC, only one death resulted from a legal abortion. Those figures, as

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Thousands of abortion opponents are rallying in San Francisco today to mark the 34th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. The demonstrators began gathering at Justin Herman Plaza near the Embarcadero before noon to take part in the third annual "Walk for Life." Some carried black signs that read "Women Deserve Better Than Abortion." More

Abortion is a topic I have strong opinions about. Some may argue, however, that my opinions are unimportant, first, because I am male, second, because I have never impregnated anyone, and third, I don't have the worries of becoming pregnant. I want to banish these absurd arguments. Just because someone's gender is male doesn't mean that he's not intelligent or informed enough to pass judgement

If Americans changed the abortion debate to a factual discussion rather than an emotional one, we'd be surprised by what we would discover. For example, why does not one U.S. pro-life organization support contraception, even though it is the only proven way to reduce abortion? Rather, pro-life groups lead campaigns against contraception. If our national discussion centered on policies shown to

With the 2007 legislative session still more than a week away, it's already shaping up to include a number of contentious issues -- including abortion. Groups on both sides of the abortion divide said this week they plan on backing specific legislative measures, and are looking to the new leadership in the House of Delegates for help. West Virginians For Life, an anti-abortion group, wants to

Nearly half of pregnancies among American women are unintended, and four in 10 of these are terminated by abortion. Twenty-four percent of all pregnancies (excluding miscarriages) end in abortion. More than 47 million legal abortions have occurred since 1973 through 2005. About half of American women have experienced an unintended pregnancy, and at current rates more than one-third will have

Last week Planned Parenthood handed out about 1,000 free doses of an emergency-contraception pill at several locations around Iowa. The medicine, called Plan B, was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for over-the-counter sales to adults. The idea was to draw attention to the availability of a drug that can reduce unwanted pregnancies. It did catch attention - of the Iowa

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court yesterday refused to consider the case of an anti-abortion group seeking to fly planes over Honolulu towing aerial banners displaying images of aborted fetuses.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua -- Jazmina Bojorge arrived at Managua's Fernando Vélez Paiz Hospital on a Tuesday evening, nearly five months pregnant and racked with fever and abdominal pain. By the following Thursday morning, both the pretty 18-year-old and the female fetus in her womb were dead. The mystery of what happened during the intervening 36 hours might not ordinarily have catapulted Bojorge into

Although "[t]aking substantial steps to reduce the abortion rate will not settle the larger ethical argument over the practice," the "election of a new congressional majority" for the 110th Congress should "open the way for a better approach to the abortion question," Washington Post columnist E.J.

On Nov. 7, California will again vote on a long-standing debate that could affect minors statewide. If passed, Proposition 85 will prevent minors from obtaining an abortion until 48 hours after a physician has notified their parents. Parental notification has been an issue to voters since a law enacted in 1953 allowed minors to have abortions without informing their parents. According to the

Despite the concerns of parents, a silent protest against abortion planned for today at Howell and Hartland high schools drew few participants and posed no problems for teachers and administrators. Those students protesting are doing so with tact and maturity, said Bill Smith, Howell High School principal. Very few students have chosen to participate. For the most part our staff has responded

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Abortion does not affect the risk of breast cancer, according to study findings published in the International Journal of Cancer. "It is well established that pregnancies that end in a full-term birth ultimately confer a protective effect on breast cancer risk," Dr. Gillian K. Reeves, of the University of Oxford, UK, and colleagues write. "The effect of incomplete

Some time ago in an article in the Sunday edition of the Rapid City Journal, Sam Hurst spoke about a friend of his named Kate Looby, who had received a cool reception when she attempted to relocate the Planned Parenthood facility in Rapid City.

State Rep. Larry Rhoden, R-Union Center, said an Associated Press story in Monday's Journal inaccurately interpreted comments he made in an interview about Referred Law 6, the state abortion ban he helped pass during the 2006 South Dakota Legislature.

The 1973 decision of the United States Supreme Court, in Roe v. Wade, has come under almost universal criticism. It may be one of the most criticized decisions in the history of the Court, with the exception of the Dred Scott decision. Even Justice Ginsberg, one of the most liberal members on the Court, has criticized the decision. There is obviously much to criticize. On the basis of a privacy

On Aug. 24, 2006, the FDA approved the morning after pill - officially called Plan B and in the broader category of "emergency contraception" - to be sold over the counter to women older than 18 and older instead of being available by prescription only. Plan B - controversial since its inception - has spurred further debate since the announcement. Many medical experts estimate making the pill

(CLACKAMAS) - Ordinarily, a pro-life organization like Life Support would be endorsing a ballot measure that purports to reduce the number of children killed by abortion. However, we find ourselves entering into a world of the surreal after reading the “Parental Involvement and Support Act."

In an effort to make abortion an international human right, certain committees of the United Nations have been pressuring countries to change their abortion laws. It's been going on for years, but pro-family groups are now shining the light on the UN's strong-arm tactics.

PROPOSITION 85 is a deceptive rehash of last year's Proposition 73, the parental-notification act that voters rejected. Under the guise that this is a proposition about child safety and parental rights, its backers are claiming that it's all about keeping parents involved in their children's lives when it comes to making such a decision as difficult as whether or not to have an abortion.

CHICAGO - Emboldened by the anti-abortion movement's success in restricting access to abortion, an increasingly vocal group of Christian conservatives is arguing that it's time to mount a concerted attack on contraception. Their voices were raised in Rosemont, Ill., last week at an unusual anti-abortion meeting that drew 250 people from around the nation to condemn artificial birth control.

The issue of decriminalising abortion is part of the ALP’s platform for the November 25 Victorian state election, but Premier Steve Bracks is keen to downplay this. Pregnancy termination services (abortion) remain on Victoria’s criminal code so women have access to abortion only under common law, through Justice Menhennitt’s 1969 ruling that permits abortion when it is necessary to protect the

Giving women the morning-after pill makes no difference to either the pregnancy rate or the abortion rate, a family planning expert says today. Contrary to assumptions, says Anna Glasier, director of the Lothian primary care NHS trust in Edinburgh, several studies - including one that she herself led - have shown that even giving women packets of morning-after pills to keep at home in case they

I used to buy what the media told me, so it made sense to be pro-abortion. I believed that (a) it was a woman's body and her right to choose, (b) we didn't know when life began, so we couldn't say it was murder to kill an unborn child before it was born, (c) it was simply a form of retroactive birth control. Besides, if you're having sex outside of marriage (which I was for a time back then--

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- A state Senate panel this week is expected to consider legislation that would require abortion clinics to screen women to determine if they have been coerced or intimidated into ending their pregnancies.

Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach already is facing a roadblock from the other side of that issue. Democrats are upset that the FDA has long delayed settling the three-year debate over whether at

A MOVE to force pregnancy counsellors to reveal their views on abortion in advertisements has split both the Labor and Liberal parties.

I found out about the abortion by pure coincidence. I wasn't snooping around. I am saddened and hurt by the fact that my daughter didn't have the courage to tell me about it. Until now, I thought we were really close. My daughter knows she can come to me with all her problems. I am very understanding. Do you think I should confront her, or should I keep my mouth shut and pretend I don't know?

Our mostly male, majority Republican Congress is at it again, moving to criminalize taking a teen across a state line for an abortion while stonewalling efforts to educate young people about their sexuality. In their attempt to protect vulnerable young, pregnant girls, members of the Senate miss the stark reality that education would head off many an unplanned teen pregnancy in the first place.

With the possibility of the FDA approving the "morning after pill," or "Plan B" for over the counter sale, I find it important to point out that there is a debate to be made here. Liberals would have the American people think that Plan B is simply a contraceptive, meant to prevent conception, and that conservatives are just being moral bigots who want to force their religious beliefs on poor
