“It’s important for us to make it clear that abortion is not just a violation of the human rights of an unborn child, but it is also a violent assault on a woman’s body as well. Society needs to understand the harm abortion has done to women.”

Forced Abortion in America

Here's a very interesting special report.  It's heartbreaking and contains information, about what happens to women who do not want an abortion, that will horrify you.

Excerpts from the report

I wanted to keep my child but I had no say.
My mother took me to [the clinic] ... They told her ... abortion was the best decision. Everyone made the decision for me. I really wanted to keep my child even at that age. At that time, parents made the decision for a minor. I really had no say.   -- Tambra Plummer

My relatives made the arrangements.
The baby’s father retracted his marriage proposal as soon as he found out I was pregnant. I had no money, no medical insurance, and didn’t realize that there were places to turn to for help ... My relatives [made] all the arrangements ... Everyone was there to give advice before the abortion, but afterwards I was on my own. If I had had love, support, and above all, the true facts, I would have never even considered an abortion. The pain never goes away.  -- Carolyn Walton

I sped away--my mother caught up with me.
When I told my mom I was pregnant, she immediately made the appointment [for an abortion]. I kept hanging the phone up on her and she kept re-dialing. Finally she got through ... The next morning, I crept downstairs, got into my car and sped away—she quickly followed and finally caught up with me.  -- Laura O'Brien

It wasn’t my choice. It should be called “Your Parents’ and the Guy’s Choice.' No one would support me ... The worst day of my life got closer and closer ... I think in more cases than not, it isn’t the woman’s choice. It should be called “Your Parents’ and the Guy’s Choice ...” I needed someone to tell me that it was possible to keep my baby, but no one did ...  -- Amanda
