"Late-Term Abortion Saved These Women's Lives"


In the case of Viki Wilson:
Wilson learned that the fetus she has been carrying brain had developed outside the skull.

In the case of Vikki Stella: 
Stella's fetus had dwarfism, no brain tissue and seven other major abnormalities.

In the case of  Tammy Watts: 
Watts got an abortion after “she discovered her baby had Trisomy 13, a chromosomal abnormality that causes severe deformities and carries no hope of survival.”

"All three women told legislators they owed their health to late-term abortions and that a continuation of their doomed pregnancies posed grave health risks such as stroke, paralysis, infertility or even death."

I'm Pro Choice...

  • Because, I will not let people in office, who don't know me, tell me what to do with my body!
  • Because, making abortion illegal isn't going to stop unsafe sex and rape!
  • Because, if abortion is banned, why stop there? next thing will be a ban on contraceptives or even sex itself!
  • Because, over 80,000 women die every year from complications from illegal abortions and hundreds more are injured!
  • Because, we are NOT baby breeders!
  • Because, women deserve to have safe options when it comes to their bodies!
  • Because, forcing someone into parenthood isn't fair to the woman or the offspring!
  • Because, women are NOT second class citizens!
I am Pro Choice because every woman should have a VOICE! Because OUR lives are worth something! Because we have a CHOICE!

Fighting for Reproductive Rights!

 We are not baby breeders! 
We are not second class citizens!

Taking a woman's Reproductive Rights away would NEVER solve anything! Many people believe that by making abortion illegal situations like unsafe sex or rape will just go away. WAKE UP!

"If there is a will, there is a way!" Women will seek unsafe methods to terminate a pregnancy. These unsafe methods could lead to infections, infertility, or even death!

What can we do?
We can speak up for women who might not have a voice!
We can support women by providing them with SAFE options!
We can fight legislators from taking away OUR rights to OUR bodies!


Take Off Those Rose Colored Glasses!

~I could never be in that situation!~

~This could never happen to me!~

Well it could!

Many women believe that they will never be in this situation. But it happens! People, especially many teens and young adults participates in high risk actives, such as unprotected sex. Even if precautions are taking, it is not always 100%.  Women deserve the right to have options!

Get Informed!

The Supreme Court ruling of Roe vs.Wade, became a stepping stone to guarantee a woman's right to privacy and to be able to have an abortions within thirteen weeks of pregnancy and later pregnancy in order to protect the woman's life or health. Since then, there have been many cases similar to Roe vs Wade. During this time,the Pro- Life movement had convinced many legislators to put restrictions down, such as, consent from spouse/parents and waiting periods before a procedure. These restrictions have women now seeking unsafe/illegal ways which could lead to putting a woman's health or life in danger. Limiting safe options for women will not prevent a problem, but will cause more.
