Ever since the abortion debate began, the American public has been told that abortion is necessary in cases of rape, incest and when the life of the mother (or health of the baby) is at risk. But information gathered from states that require abortion reporting show that only a tiny fraction of the so-called “hard cases” (out of a million abortions annually in the U.S.) are why women abort. According to the Guttmacher Institute, Planned Parenthood’s former special affiliate<\/a>\u00a0and research arm, just “16 states require providers to give some information about the woman\u2019s reason for seeking the procedure.”<\/p>\n

Every human life is worthy of protection, and Live Action News has featured numerous stories<\/a> from courageous women who chose life for their babies conceived in rape, diagnosed with disabilities, or thought to be “incompatible with life.” Tragically, while more and more of these women speak out and testify to the sanctity of each life, the profitable abortion lobby continues to pitch abortion as a solution to any problem a women encounters. And the numbers show it.<\/p>\n
