Abortion News -

An average of 3,322 abortions are performed in the U.S. every day.

137 abortions per hour.

Every 30 seconds a life is lost.            

The United States, China, North Korea and Canada have the most radical abortion policies in the world.  We are one of only four countries that allow abortions to take place through 9 months of a pregnancy (for any reason) and sometimes subsidized with our tax money.  The most dangerous place in the world is in the womb. It is also a country where a child has arms and legs and other body parts amputated by a doctor, during the abortion process, and not given anesthesia.

Every year 32,000 Americans die on our nation’s highways. Every 10 days, that same number of abortions are performed in America.

And abortions have been legal for over 40 years in the U.S. To date more than 60 million lives have been terminated. The CDC abortion records show 55,772,015 in 2012, but they admit the actual termination number is higher than shown because different states have different laws on reporting statistics. 

We have lost more than 25% of our population.

• The particular medical risks associated with the particular abortion procedure to be employed, including:
•  The risks of infection and hemorrhage
• The potential danger to a subsequent pregnancy and of infertility
• The possibility of increased risk of breast cancer following an induced abortion and the natural protective effect of a completed pregnancy in avoiding breast cancer
•  The probable gestational age of the unborn baby at the time the abortion is to be performed.
• The medical risks associated with carrying the baby to term.
• Medical assistance benefits may be available for prenatal care, childbirth, and neonatal care.
• The father is liable for assistance in the support of the baby without regard to whether the father has offered to pay for the abortion.
• Public and private agencies provide pregnancy prevention counseling and medical referrals for obtaining pregnancy prevention medications or devices, including emergency contraception for victims of rape and incest.
• Provides the pregnancy woman with “Women’s Right to Know” pamphlet.

• Include a list of agencies that offer sonogram services at no cost to the pregnant woman.
• The physician who is to perform the abortion displays the sonogram images clearly in a quality consistent with current medical practice in a manner that the pregnant woman may view them.

Wave from a Baby Who Was Given Life

A positive pregnancy test isn't always a joyous occasion.  Whether it's because of relationship problems, lack of finances, unsupportive parents or other seemingly endless obstacles, often an abortion seems to be an easy way out for the mother.

That was the case for a couple who had fallen on hard times, were struggling with their current family and didn't think they could feed another.

They went to a well known abortion clinic, paid money they had little of for both the test and a sonogram. Even though Texas law states that the mother be shown the sonogram picture, she didn't see it.

With heavy hearts the couple went home to wait the required 24 hours before the abortion could be performed, but on the morning of the scheduled procedure, the father turned to his wife and said he couldn't do it, she told him she had second thoughts too. Nothing had changed for this family except their desire to find a way to support their child. 

On the recommendation of a pro-life group outside the abortion clinic, they came to The Pregnancy Help Center where we have many resources to help them.

Our nurse did another sonogram and this time showed the picture to the couple. The baby clearly was happy with their decision and waved its hand.

What's Happening at the Center?

At the beginning of May, a client stepped into the Pregnancy Help Center worried about a pregnancy, and pressured by her boyfriend, considered abortion as her only option. She had already taken the Plan B pill (sometimes called the 'Morning After Pill') but it had not been successful.
After meeting with a counselor, she agreed to come in the next day for a sonogram and brought her boyfriend with her. She was tearful when they heard the baby's heart beat, he looked away from the screen.
The couple left and our calls to them went unanswered*
But a phone call a few weeks later had the staff and volunteers excited that we would be able to help another young mother. "I'm keeping the baby!" she said when she contacted the Center. "Thank you, ladies for your prayers. God is doing amazing things."
We can't wait to hear more about her change of heart and to help her during her pregnancy.

* We only contact clients after a visit if they give us permission to do so.

Before I Formed You

A beautiful print was donated to the Pregnancy Help Center this week and the painting has a story behind it. Ron DiCianni painted Before I Formed You in the Womb to make a statement - a statement that each life is precious to the One who created it, namely God. No life is an accident, and each has a purpose.
Over the years people have asked him where he gets ideas for his paintings. His answer is Scripture and this painting is a visual translation of Psalm 139 and Jeremiah 1:5.
These bible verses have touched Ron DiCianni personally as his mother stopped her abortion attempt just as the procedure began. He knows firsthand the special meaning of what God told Jeremiah. You can read Ron's story here.

The Mental Toll of Abortion

In a recent article, Jeanne Monahan writes about the emotional toll that women suffer resulting from an abortion. Here at the Pregnancy Help Center, we give women who are considering an abortion as much information as we have available, and having held post abortion classes here for many years, we are well aware of the downside of an uninformed decision.
According to Ms. Monahan's article, a study published by the British Journal of Psychiatry, showed a high percentage of women who have had an abortion are at an increased risk for mental problems.
