"In the days before Roe, radial feminist groups rallied around
the sordid stories of bungled illegal abortions. They convinced the Supreme Court
that legal abortions meant safe abortions." [7]
"In the 1973 decision (Roe v. Wade) legalizing abortions, the
Court wrongly stated that there was no consensus
as to when human life begins." [6]
"The ruling invalidated abortion laws in all
fifty states, even though it seems clear in 1973 the majority of Americans
were against abortion .... They as an elite, thus forced their will on the majority,
even though their ruling was arbitrary both legally and medically." [8]
Dr. Bernard Nathanson, cofounder of NARAL (National Abortion and Reproductive
Rights Action League, now pro-life, told how abortion advocates would conjure
up sham statistics of abortion deaths to push
their case. "... we generally emphasized the drama of the individual case
-- not the mass statistics. But when we spoke of the latter, it was always 5,000
to 10,000 a year." He said that about 500 abortion
deaths a year would have been more accurate. [7]
The Court's decision allowed virtual elective abortion
"because of the sweeping way in which 'health' is used by pro-abortionists to
cover every possible problem of mind and situation." [3]
Abortion was the cornerstone
of the sexual and feminist revolution of the 1960s. It allowed them sever
the connection between sexual relationships and children. It justified free
sex, free love, and enabled feminists to achieve their goal of total
equality with men. [6]

Currently, 3,900 babies die from abortion
every day in America - one every 22 seconds.
Each year, over 1.4 million infants die
from abortion. [15] More
than 50 million babies have been slaughtered
in America since the Supreme Court's ruling: more than the total loss of life
in every American military conflict from the War of Independence through Desert
Storm, more than the equivalent of the combined 1990 census populations of: [17]

Tragically, many of these babies could have been saved, as there
are an estimated 2, 000, 000
infertile couples who have pursued an interest in adoption.
The Planned Parenthood Federation of America Inc. stated in the New York
Times, "If women are forced to carry unwanted pregnancies, the result
is unwanted children. Everyone knows that they are among society's most tragic
cases, often uncared-for, unloved, brutalized and abandoned." Adoption
resources make the "unwanted child" unwanted for only nine months.
[12]
"Adopted children fare far better than those
children born out of wedlock who are left in single-parent homes or foster care."
-- Child Psychologist Patrick Fagan. "Moreover
adopted children score higher on tests; are less depressed; are healthier and
have fewer behavioral problems." [5]
