Daviess County Right to Life P.O. Box 41 Washington, Indiana 47501 During the last few weeks you have heard many false statements after the leak from the Supreme Court concerning the decision on the abortion issue. Statements from the pro-abortion media, the pro-abortion politicians and the abortion industry, stating that if Roe v Wade is overturned, all abortion will be outlawed. This is not true. If this decision holds up from what the rough draft is stating, it will go back to each individual state and that state will decide whether they will be pro-life or pro-abortion. About half of the states will limit abortion with exceptions to the life of the mother, rape/incest. Other states like California and New York will have the killing of the unborn up to the time of birth. We just don't know for sure what will happen. Pro-abortion media/politicians are saying it will go back to the way it was with "thousands dying from back alley abortions". This also is not true. Dr. Bernard Nathanson who helped to push legal abortion in America, coined that phrase. When he later converted to pro-life he tried to tell the media he made up that figure and set the record straight, but the liberal media would hear nothing of it. Dr. Nathanson said they pulled that figure out of the air and the media ran with it. But what the media had written was going to stand and they would not change it because it fit their agenda to push abortion on America. Pro-Life People don't care about the mother, only the child: Not True. We care for both and that is why Pro-lifers across the country have used their own money to start around 3000 Pregnancy Care Centers across the country to help mothers with unplanned pregnancies. They did so with their own funding, none coming from the Government. This is so unlike Planned Parenthood, that receives millions of dollars from the Government each year to take the lives of the unborn. (Thanks to pro- abortion minded individuals in our government.) The Abortion Industry has made millions of Dollars from their abortion business and when we talk of cutting their funding they get very upset! As you can see we are battling individuals/organizations who care nothing of the unborn child and little for mother. Individuals who push for the killing of the unborn, how can they be trusted with other lifesaving issues when they push to kill the most vulnerable of our society. In the coming weeks you will hear more untruths from the pro-abortions forces, but just remember why they are saying this. They make money off abortion and want it to continue.
