Abortion Risks - What Every Woman Should Know

Whether you are an adult, a teen or even a pre-teen for that matter, once you are physically able to become pregnant, you are in fact physically, a woman. This does not in any way mean that if you are under the age of 18, your mind has developed into that of an adult woman. What this does mean however is that if you are of child-bearing age, there is a strong possibility that if you have sexual intercourse (engage in sex), you could very easily become pregnant.

Many young women believe the many myths out there about how to prevent pregnancy, like the male pulling out before ejaculation, how you cannot get pregnant during your menstrual cycle (your period), that condoms alone will prevent pregnancy and so on. These are ALL MYTHS and if you have been practicing these methods to prevent pregnancy, chances are that at some point, you WILL end up pregnant.

Abortion is not a form of birth control and can create life-long devastating effects to your physical and mental well-being, as well as your spiritual well being. This site is here to provide you with the facts about abortion, with hopes that if you are reading this, you are not already pregnant and contemplating abortion. If you are already pregnant and reading this, please take this opportunity to make a fact-based, moral decision that will inevitably save your life as well as your baby's life in more ways than one.

The Fetus At 7-12 Weeks

Most women who do terminate a baby (have an abortion) will usually terminate the pregnancy by 12 weeks or 3 months. Please view the pictures below. As you can plainly see, even at 7 weeks, the fetus has already taken on human form. It is already a baby, even though pro-choice fanatics would have you believe otherwise. The 12th week of pregnancy is a very common time frame for abortions. This is because that often times, a women has just figured out that she is pregnant, or she has been trying to make the decision of whether to abort the baby, give it up for adoption or keep her unborn child - before it is too late to have the option of legal abortion. The fetus at 7 weeks is less than 2 months along in the pregnancy and cannot be mistaken for anything other than a baby. It is not a blob; it is not a clump of cells or flesh. It is a living human being waiting to be born. Whether the baby is born for you to raise or someone else, the fact remains that this is a baby whose life you may be planning to erase from the face of this earth, instead of providing the opportunity for this spirit's body that God has breathed life in, to live and be loved by someone who DOES want them. Do you realize that because of abortion, many loving parents who cannot have a baby because of medical reasons or infertility may never have the opportunity to adopt? There are too few babies in the United States alone for the loving homes that "could be" if only women realized that adoption is a good and moral option.

The Problem With Pro-Choice

The problem with Pro-Choice is that in spite of what we have been taught morally, either by our parents, our church, our schools and other key people in our lives, if the government says something is legal, then many tend to forget the moral aspect of the choices they are making. Some might say, "Well, if abortion is legal, then it can't be that bad, can it?" Seriously now. Just because the government does not feel it is their place to allow or disallow a woman getting an abortion, does that actually make it right? Does having the freedom to decide whether a baby should live or die, mean that you should terminate that baby's life just because it is convenient at the time and legal? Why do you think so many people with morals are fighting the system, screaming out with the words "PRO-LIFE"? It is because no one has the right to "Play God" and terminate an innocent's life. Who is going to stand up for the rights of the baby being terminated? Certainly not those who stand for pro-choice. It truly is a shame that is has come down to making a choice between life and death, especially when it isn't your own life that you are toying with.
