Abortion's Varied States - US Rates Down, Others Up


The following websites provide information on this topic:

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
http://www.usccb.org/prolife/issues/abortion/index.shtml

The USCCB works to teach respect for all human life and to organize for its protection in the light of The Gospel of Life, especially on behalf of those who are unborn, disabled, elderly and dying. This is the primary resource for the Bishops' policy and teaching statements on pro-life issues.

The National Committee for a Human Life Amendment is dedicated to pursuing this vision. The organization's objectives include educating citizens, developing pro-life legislative networks, and offering programs in support of pro-life legislation. Among its various activities, NCHLA produces educational and program resources, communicates with leaders about legislative priorities, and presents legislative seminars throughout the year. In a special way, NCHLA assists dioceses, state Catholic conferences, and Catholic lay groups. The Committee also works closely with the Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Life Works Ohio

Imagine a Cleveland...
Where no more children die from abortion.
Mothers are not forced to choose between themselves and their unborn child.
Fathers take responsibility for their children – born and unborn.
Each human life is regarded with the dignity God intended!

Feminists for Life 
http://www.feministsforlife.org

FFL’s seeks equality for all human beings and opposes all forms of violence including abortion, infanticide, child abuse, domestic violence, assisted suicide, euthanasia and capital punishment, and the exploitation of women and children, as they are inconsistent with the core feminist principles of justice, nonviolence and nondiscrimination. 


The Second Look Project    
 
www.secondlookproject.org
The Second Look Project (sponsored by USCCB) presents basic facts regarding abortion. While abortion has been legal in the U.S. for three decades, polls continue to show that many people do not have very basic information about abortion, such as when during pregnancy it is legal, or why it is generally performed. The Second Look Project offers information to help people make informed decisions based on fact rather than emotion.

Women Affirming Life 
www.affirmlife.com

Founded by Catholic women professionals, WAL provides training, resources and encouragement for women to offer an authentic pro-life/pro-woman perspective in the public debate on the life issues.

Stand Up Girl
www.StandUpGirl.com
Share the truth about your unexpected pregnancy.
If you're pregnant, scared, and alone--I know... I've been there. The last thing you want is people talking at you. Take a breather, a time out, and check out my site. It was info like this that really helped me.
