As strong believers in the rights of unborn children, we believe it is our responsibility to educate the public about the true facts of abortion. Therefore, we have compiled these facts and organized them conveniently into categorized sections on this web page with sources listed at the bottom.

I. Fetal Development Facts

By the beginning of the second trimester, the child has fully developed hair, nails, and eyes in addition to a fully developed brain and nervous system. It is fully capable of feeling pain and grasping the concept of an abortion1.

By the middle of the second trimester, the child is living independent of the umbilical cord, and has finished its development2.

II. Studies on Abortion Patients

Studies have shown that 75% of women who receive abortions are wealthy, married, and over 25 years of age. 74% admitted to cheating on their husbands3.

A poll of men incarcerated for domestic violence against women showed that 26% of them had at some point forced their partners into undergoing an abortion3 4.

III. Health Risks

Studies on women who underwent abortions at reputable clinics have shown that the procedure creates a very high risk of ovarian cancer. 78% of patients polled ten years or more after having an abortion have been tested positive for ovarian cancer. 80% of patients had minor injuries and/or infections from undergoing an abortion. Studies have also shown the undeniable existence of a "post-abortion syndrome" effecting many patients. 98% of women who underwent abortions have shown signs of heavy anxiety, depression and guilt. On the other hand, women who gave birth and raised the child despite their protests have typically been observed to be emotionally stable3 5 6 .
