Tell Congress: "ABORTION IS NOT HEALTH CARE!"
As Congress works to pass a comprehensive health care reform bill, we need to make sure that health care reform legislation doesn’t make abortion a mainstream health care service. Abortion is not health care. It is a procedure which intentionally takes the life of an innocent human being.
Oppose Making Abortion Part of Health Care Reform -Your Action Can Save Lives
Abortion Mandates in "Heath Care Reform" are a grave danger to the prolife cause.

Suggestions for letters to the editor, on-line posts and correspondence to federal lawmakers are available.
Lord Jesus, you are the Divine Physician,
and the source of all life and health.
Guide our nation at this critical moment,
as our government seeks health care reforms.
Give our elected officials the humility to know
that they are servants, not masters.
Give them the wisdom to realize
that every life has equal value.
Give them the strength to resist the idea
that some lives can be sacrificed to save others
or that killing the unborn is a part of health care.
Give your people the courage to speak up and
to hold public officials accountable for their actions.
Save us, Lord Jesus, from a culture of death,
and let every reform in our public policy
be based on the reform of our hearts and minds
in the light of your Gospel,
for you are Lord forever and ever.
Amen
We join with Muskegon County Right to Life
to express our support for legal protection of the unborn.
Abortion is forever. Get the facts first.

Abortion is a serious choice. In order to make an informed decision,
take the time to get the facts before you choose.

Abortion Facts
FACT: Abortion is legal in our country during the ENTIRE nine months of pregnancy for ANY reason.
Abortions to save the life of the mother, or for the health of the mother, are two very different statements. “Life” and “health” are often used interchangeably but they mean very different things. The pro-life and pro-abortion sides are in agreement when it comes to saving the life of the mother.
However, when you think about an abortion for the “health of the mother”, you need to understand the legal definition of “health.” All factors are to be considered — physical, emotional, psychological, familial and the woman’s age. This means abortions are legal on demand for the entire nine months of pregnancy.
FACT: Abortion hurts women.
Statistics show there are long term physical and psychological health consequences of induced abortion. These include the increased risk of breast cancer, placenta previa, pre-term births, depression, guilt and suicide.
FACT: An unborn baby is sensitive to sound, touch, heat, light and PAIN.
There is no form of abortion that is humane, even early in the pregnancy as documented in the video “The Silent Scream.” This is ultrasound imaging of a first trimester abortion and can be found at: www.silentscream.org
What does an unborn child feel during an abortion? Pain of the Unborn
FACT: About 93% of the 3,500 abortions performed each day are for convenience.
The vast majority of abortions are used for birth control.
Less than .5% of all abortions are due to rape. Rape and incest are horrific crimes and those who commit these crimes should be punished and their victims should be supported. While pro-life people abhor the violence of rape, abortion doesn’t undo the harm that has been caused.
Every unborn child, regardless of how they were conceived, is a living human being who deserves to be protected.
FACT: An unborn baby can be considered the victim of murder or negligent homicide if killed by anyone other than the mother. But that same unborn baby can be aborted by her mother at any time during the pregnancy for any reason as her legal “choice.”
Legalized abortion has led us to contradictions in law concerning the unborn. When a pregnant woman decides to carry a baby to term, more than half of our American states recognize her unborn child as a “person” in their homicide laws.
Unborn Baby at 11 Weeks
The unborn child at 10 weeks is already more then 2 inches long. She can suck her thumb, make a fist, squint and swallow. Brain waves have been recorded since day 43. Her heart has been beating since day 25. She has fingerprints. She is sensitive to heat, touch, light, noise, and PAIN. All organs are present and working. She now weighs about 1 ounce. She can fit into the palm of your hand. All she needs now is nourishment and the chance to grow.
