Her Right to Know

What comes to mind when you hear the word "abortion"?
The one-million preborn babies who die each year in the U.S.?
The ongoing cultural debate between a preborn baby's right to life and his mother's right to end his life?
Or perhaps it's the abortion industry that makes money selling abortion to women who often feel desperate and out of options?
This month marks 41 years of legal abortion in the U.S.—a milestone worthy of sober reflection. During that time, the views of Americans on abortion have not moved toward its support (as some predicted); rather, views have held steady in opposition, even growing in disapproval. Still, an estimated one million women will subject their bodies—and the lives of their preborn babies—to abortion in the coming year.
For many women, abortion feels like their only choice. Surveys of women seeking abortion reveal their leading concern centers around a lack of support for her and her preborn child. The most frequently cited fears involve continuing the pregnancy while keeping her place in the workforce or at school and having sufficient financial and emotional support to raise a child.
An abortion also puts women at risk for emotional and physical complications—some even life threatening. Too often, women report they were not aware of the risks of abortion and discovered problems only after the fact. That's why providing women medically accurate information and access to ultrasound images of their preborn baby before an abortion decision is so critical.
Focus on the Family exists to herald the pro-life message, as well as to educate and equip Christians to impact the culture for Jesus Christ. In short, we want your biblical values tothrive! To that end, we've created a series of complimentary resources on this sensitive, yet important topic; resources including national statistics on abortion, information on how abortion impacts women, the status of important state laws and why the sanctity of human life is a foundational truth in the Christian faith.
We hope these resources will help you, as together we proclaim the value of life in our families and culture in 2014!
