About Abortion

About Abortion The United States Supreme Court decided the case of Roe v. Wade on January 22, 1973, the decision legalized abortion. A second case, Doe v. Bolton, made abortion legal anytime during a pregnancy, right up until the baby is delivered. In the U.S. today, 25% of all pregnancies end in abortion, which equals 1.2 million abortions every year. Worldwide approximately 42 million abortions occur every year.   Abortion is an elective medical procedure that intentionally ends a pregnancy before the baby is born alive.   According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, 43% of US women under the age of 45 will have at least one abortion.   Abortion leads to post abortion stress in many women and men who participate in the procedure. Abortion is one of the most common surgical procedures in the United States.
  • The majority (57%) of women having abortions are in their 20s, fewer than 1% are younger than 15, while 16% are aged 15–19.
  • African American women of child-bearing age make up about 12% of the U.S. population but have about 38% of all abortions. In the last 36 years, over 17 million African American babies have died by abortion.
  • 13% of abortion patients say they are “born-again or evangelical Christians,” 43% are Protestant, and 27% are Catholic.
  When are abortions performed?  
  • 89% of all abortions are performed during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy
  • 10% occur during the 13th week through the 20th
  • Approximately 13,310 abortions occur after the 21st week each year
  Why are abortions performed?  
  • 1% of abortions are for rape/incest victims
  • 3% of abortions are because genetic testing has revealed that the unborn baby has a fetal anomaly
  • 3% of abortions are performed due to the health of the mother—the reason most often cited for needing legalized abortion
  • 93% of the abortions performed annually are considered ‘elective’
  65% of Women report some level of pressure or coercion by family, friends, employers, institutions of learning, or sexual predators into having abortions.  
  • Parents threaten to kick the girl out of the home
  • Boyfriends and husbands may threaten to leave
  • Women are told by well-meaning friends that having a baby will ruin their lives and they simply have to have an abortion

Controversy has dogged the maternal health goal since heads of state established it at the Millennium Summit in 2000.

Panelists last week criticized the World Health Organization (WHO) for insisting that as long as an abortion is legal, it would always be considered "safe”.

The new UN report mirrors the independent study, putting the number around 350,000 and falling. The change highlights the tension between the UN's dual roles in research and policy making, as one researcher told of jetting overnight to make statistics match policy.

Prayer For Life

PRAYER FOR LIFE Lord God, thank You for creating human life in Your image. Thank You for my life and the lives of those I love. Thank You for teaching us through Scripture the value You place on life. Help me to uphold the sanctity of life in my church and community. Give me the strength to stand up to those forces
that seek to destroy the lives of those most vulnerable,
the unborn, the infirm and the elderly. Today I commit myself never to be silent, never to be passive, never to be forgetful of respecting life. I commit myself to protecting and defending the sacredness of life
according to Your will, through Christ our Lord.
Amen.   Anglicans for Life 405 Frederick Avenue Sewickley, PA  15143
