Then you have a faulty memory because it was all a lie.
How lying marketers sold Roe v. Wade to America
"Repeating the big lie often enough convinces the public. The number of women dying from illegal abortions was around 200-250 annually. The figure we constantly fed to the media was 10,000. These false figures took root in the consciousness of Americans, convincing many that we needed to crack the abortion law.
More interesting truth.
"Another myth we fed to the public through the media was that legalizing abortion would only mean that the abortions taking place illegally would then be done legally. In fact, of course, abortion is now being used as a primary method of birth control in the U.S. and the annual number of abortions has increased by 1,500 percent since legalization."
Thank you for your post... I was about to fish up that information, but you did it for me.
I find this portion of the legislation particularly important:
"One of the most common reasons why preborns never get the chance to live a natural life is that they are aborted by contraceptives that are designed to cause early abortions. These contraceptives are better defined as abortifacients, since far from preventing conception, they allow the creation of a unique human person and then destroy them by preventing them from following their natural course of development. The Right to Life Act recognizes that a person exists from the moment of conception and therefore any willful ending of that life should be treated like any other instance where one person takes another's life."
~ People on another thread seemed to think I was delusional for maintaining that certain methods of birth control act as abortifacients, and that my "wild ideas" were shared by no one. This act proves otherwise. Babies are precious no matter how young and tiny they are!
