Women Need The Truth on Abortion Risks



by Bill Fancher and Jerry Bacon

Women across America are continuing to be emotionally scarred for life — or are even dying — because of choosing to have an abortion over giving birth to their children.

Georgette Forney of the National Post-Abortion Awareness Campaign works with women who have been harmed by abortion. She says the so-called “right to choose” is really the right to die early or face emotional trauma the rest of your life, in addition to many other problems associated with abortion.

Forney says those potential problems include future “maintaining-a-pregnancy” problems, infertility, and sterility problems. Forney says, “I think that we are beginning to really see what has happened after 30 years of abortion and it is not good for women.”

Forney says it is time women were provided the truth about abortion by the media and she adds that those in the media need to be more honest in how they report the issue to the public.

Tax Payers Object to Funding Abortion

Meanwhile, in the Grand Canyon state, pro-life groups are outraged over a recent Arizona State Supreme Court decision that says taxpayers must now fund the so-called “medically necessary” abortions of poor women.

Family News in Focus reports the court ruled that because it funds some abortions through Medicaid, it cannot deny equal coverage to others who are not covered by the program. Len Munsil of the Center for Arizona Policy says the decision is particularly galling to pro-life tax payers.

“For the first time,” Munsil says, “those who believe abortion to be the taking of an innocent human life not only will have to just tolerate abortions occurring in society — they are now being asked to participate in them through their taxes.”

Munsil says the caveat that the abortions must be “medically necessary” is almost meaningless given the track record of abortion providers saying any abortion is usually medically necessary. And the courts have consistently ruled that women can get an abortion for almost any reason.
