Medical experts have confirmed that NO medical conditions arise in pregnancy which require the direct killing of an unborn child. For example, it is now possible for women with heart defects to carry a baby to term with expert help. Even life-threatening conditions such as cancer can often be treated without harming the unborn child.Although serious threats to health can occur, the doctor has a duty to protect both patients: the pregnant woman and her unborn child.There is NO research evidence indicating that abortion is an effective treatment for any mental health disorder or distress. Abortion is not a treatment in any textbook of psychiatry.

Yes! From the moment of conception until birth the unborn child is developing and growing in her mother’s womb. Like any infant, the unborn child depends on her mother for nourishment, but the unborn child’s life is a separate one. She has her own DNA distinct from her mother’s and father’s.

Every abortion kills a developing child.There is never any medical need for an abortion.Every person, born or unborn, has an equal right to life.Women are being exploited by the abortion industry for profit.

why is abortion wrong?...FIRSTLY

...BUT IS IT REALLY A CHILD?

WHAT ABOUT THE MOTHER’S HEALTH?

how are abortions performed?MEDICAL ABORTION (Up to 9 weeks)The first abortion pill kills the baby by blocking a hormone needed for nourishment. The second pill starts contractions and pushes the dead baby out. SUCTION (6 to 14 weeks) A hollow tube with a knife edged tip is inserted into the uterus and tears the unborn child apart and sucks the pieces into a container.DILATION AND EVACUATION (15 to 24 weeks) The unborn child’s body is grasped with a pliers-like instrument and pulled out piece by piece. The head is grasped and crushed in order to remove it through the cervix.INDUCED LABOUR The pregnant woman is given medication to start contractions. Usually the trauma of the labour kills the baby. If the aborted baby is alive, the baby is left struggling for breath until he or she dies. INTRA-CARDIAC INJECTION (21 weeks+) A poison is injected into the unborn child’s heart. If the heart does not stop beating after 30-60 seconds, more poison is injected. Death is expected to occur after 30-60 minutes.

Yes! For most women, abortion is a life-changing event with significant physical and emotional consequences:

DOES ABORTION HURT WOMEN?

A major study found that women who had abortions were 6 times more likely to die by suicide than women who had given birth.

Women who had abortions had a 30% higher incidence of mental health problems according to a 30-year study in New Zealand.
