Don’t women wish they had been better informed? (audio)

Randy Alcorn answers the question, "Don't women who have had abortions wish they had been better informed?" (On Midday Connection with Melinda Schmidt.)

Prolife Except in the Case of Rape?

“What about a woman who is pregnant due to rape or incest?” This is one of three hard cases often cited as “exceptions” that make abortion an appropriate alternative. (The other two are when the life of the mother is threatened or the child has a serious handicap or deformity.)

Why support groups? (audio)

Randy Alcorn answers the question, "Why are there support groups for those who have had abortions, but not for those who have had root canals?"

Progestin-Only Pill As A Form of Birth Control

At least two OB-Gyns on the PRC (who are not particularly concerned about birth control pills in general) absolutely agree that the mini-pill is more likely to allow breakthrough ovulation; thus, they will NOT prescribe the mini-pill to postpartum mothers (or to anyone else) for “contraceptive” purposes.

Prolifers don’t care about women

Do Prolifers care about women, and babies once they’re born? They have no right to speak against abortion unless they are willing to care for these children.

A publication of the National Abortion Rights Action League states, “The ‘prolife’ concerns of abortion foes are only for fetal lives, not the lives of women or unwanted babies.”

Is Abortion Really a Women’s Rights Issue?

Kate Michelman, former president of NARAL, says: “We have to remind people that abortion is the guar­antor of a woman’s... right to participate fully in the social and political life of society.” But a pregnant woman can fully participate in society. And if she can’t, isn’t the solution changing society rather than killing children?

Is Abortion Right When Pregnancy is Due to Rape or Incest?

teenagerStudies conducted by the pro-choice Guttmacher Institute indicate that two consenting and fertile adults have only a 3 percent chance of pregnancy from an act of intercourse. They also indicate there are factors involved in a rape that further reduce these chances for rape victims.* The Institute says fourteen thousand* abortions per year are due to rape or incest, which amounts to 1 percent of all abortions.* Other studies show that pregnancies due to rape are much rarer, as few as one in a thousand cases.* Furthermore, since conception doesn’t occur immediately after intercourse, pregnancy can be prevented in most rape cases by removing or washing away the semen before an ovum can be fertilized. (This is very different from using chemicals that can kill an already conceived child.)

Is the Unborn Part of the Mother’s Body?

... every child, no matter how young and how small and no matter where he is located, is an individual human being with a life and rights of his own.
