Did you know... unborn babies can feel pain more intensely than adults; being their pain recepting nerves develop early on, but the mechanisms that dull pain don't develop until much later?

Did you know... unborn babies can move to the beat of music they hear, they have REMs showing they dream while sleeping, and they can remember sounds such as their mother's voice and music? Listening 'to a song they've heard before' will make them more likely to move to the beat of it.

And still, Planned Parenthood's excess for 2010-2011 was a record $155,500,000.

Did you know... after an abortion, the risk of premature births (in subsequent pregnancies) increases and this risk escalates when more than one abortion is performed? Forty-nine studies of preterm or premature births from Europe and North America found increased risks ranging from 30% to 510% wherein children born before 32 weeks gestation are at increased risks for early death, cerebral palsy, blindness, deafness, and other health complications.

Did you know... reproductive complications are the leading causes of handicaps among newborns?

Did you know... post-abortion's subsequent pregnancy complications include: cervical incompetence leading to future miscarriages; uterine perforations and placenta previa with serious implications to the health of the woman and her child(ren) in later pregnancies; and ectopic pregnancies which, if undiagnosed and not treated, can lead to a woman's death?

Did you know... after obtaining second-trimester abortions, the risks increase for miscarriage and low birth weight deliveries?

The most common minor complications include: infection, bleeding, fever, second degree burns, chronic abdominal pain, vomiting, gastro-intestinal disturbances, and Rh sensitization.

Did you know... women can bleed for up to 5 weeks after an abortion?

Did you know... women report pain levels that are usually much worse than suggested in pre-abortion counseling?

Did you know... in the 1960's, when those in favor of abortion sought to have it legalized, they said it would be a rare event; for women with desperate circumstances such as rape? Less than 2% of abortions are actually done because of rape.

Did you know... some women report that the pain of abortion, inflicted upon them by a masked stranger invading their body, feels identical to rape?

Did you know... researchers have found that women (with a history of sexual assault) may experience greater distress during and after an abortion because of associations between the two experiences?

Did you know... another study found that a minimum of 19% of post-abortion women suffer from diagnosable post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Approximately half had many, but not all, symptoms of PTSD, and 20%-40% showed moderate to high levels of stress and avoidance behavior relative to their abortion experiences.

Did you know... PTSD is a psychological dysfunction which results from a traumatic experience that overwhelms a person's normal defense mechanisms resulting in intense fear, feelings of helplessness or being trapped, or loss of control or that the risk is increased when the traumatizing event is perceived as including threats of physical injury, sexual violation, or the witnessing of or participation in a violent death?

Did you know... some, particularly those with religious convictions, perceive 'killing their unborn child' as a violent death?

Did you know... after an abortion, women are more likely to display self-destructive behaviors including suicide and attempts at suicide; mutilation and various forms of punishment (including repeat abortions and sterilization); drug, alcohol and tobacco abuse; and eating disorders as a way of denying or minimizing the guilt, pain, and numbness they feel?

Did you know... abortion is significantly linked to behavioral changes such as promiscuity, smoking, drug abuse, and eating disorders which all contribute to increased risks of health problems?

Did you know... abortion followed by alcohol abuse is linked to violent behavior, divorce or separation, auto accidents, and job loss?

Did you know... women who have an abortion are about 3.3 times more likely to commit suicide in the eight years following this event than women who deliver a child?

Did you know... suicide attempts appear to be especially prevalent among post-abortion teenagers?

Did you know... emotional abuse and/or spousal battering may occur after abortion, whether it be 'man to woman' or 'woman to man'? On a subconscious level, this is anger and striking out, but it can also be purposely 'punishing' the partner for their choice of abortion.

Did you know... after abortion, many relationships come to an end?

Did you know... women 'who have more than one abortion' are more likely to require public assistance, in part because they are also more likely to become single parents?

Did you know... women who abort often have trouble bonding with the children of future pregnancies and have a higher chance of eventually abusing them, which leads to a cyclical pattern of abuse-abortion-abuse?

Did you know... 'suppressed mourning' has very negative outcomes, often leading to feelings of numbness and/or hostility and anger, and to difficulties in forming future relationships and in bonding with later-born children; in some instances, post-abortion trauma can also lead to abuse of later children?

Did you know... once having aborted, women also experience depression, fear of disclosure, preoccupation with babies or getting pregnant again, nightmares, anxiety, flashbacks of the abortion procedure, anniversary grief, and repeat abortions?

Did you know... aborting a child is not your decision to make? Children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. Psalm 127:3


Women Have the Right to Know: God always knows best.

This Speaks of Wisdom

1 Peter 2:11

Abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-4; KJV

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification,
that ye should abstain from fornication:
That every one of you should know how to
possess his vessel in sanctification and honour.

In Conclusion:

Regarding women's rights, as it pertains to potential unwanted pregnancies; your best chance at retaining rights 'over what happens to your body' is when you first exercise the right to keep your pants on.
