Abortion is a betrayal of the defenseless unborn child, who fights as hard as he or she can against it. That child loves his or her mother and depends on her protection.  Choosing life is the path to happiness amid hope; choosing abortion is the path to despair and loneliness.

:Large studies have reported a doubling of [early premature birth] EPB risk from two prior IAs.  Women who had four or more IAs experienced, on average, nine times the risk of [extremely early premature births] XPB, an increase of 800 percent.  These results suggest that women contemplating IA should be informed of this potential risk to subsequent pregnancies, and that physicians should be aware of the potential liability and possible need for intensified prenatal care.

What is often ignored in studies of why women submit to abortions is an ambivalence by some in early pregnancy. Such ambivalence typically resolves when the mother becomes more aware of her unborn child, as displayed by an [[ultrasound]].<ref>Lederman, ''Psychosocial Adaptation in Pregnancy'', 1984</ref><ref>"The Unwanted Pregnancy," ''Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology'', 1970, Cited in Gardner, ''Abortion: The Personal Dilemma'', 1972</ref><ref>Nichols and Humenick, ''Childbirth Education: Practice, Research, and Theory'', 1988</ref>

Less than one percent of all abortions are due to rape. Abortion does not liberate women. It liberates men from the responsibilities of raising children, as well as responsibility for their sexual behavior, including emotional and financial support. Here is a comparison. The founding feminists, Susan B. Anthony and Liz Stanton, were pro-life. The radical feminists (feminazis) believe that pregnant women are inferior to non-pregnant women. The biggest financial contributor to abortion rights is the Playboy Foundation, which is supportive of the philosophy of uncommitted, anonymous sex without consequences; women are reduced to the status of a consumer item which, if “broken” by pregnancy, can be “fixed” by abortion. A large majority of women who got an abortion said that they did so because they felt pressured by others. This is why, before abortion became legal in the US, women who got an abortion did not receive jail time but instead were treated as a second victim while the abortionist was punished. Instead of legalizing abortion in cases of rape, overturn the 1977 US Supreme Court case of [[Coker v. Georgia]], in which the Supreme Court struck down the death penalty for rapists as a violation of the Eighth Amendment.
