In reply to Marvin Ellison's OpEd piece on Valentine's Day about poor Maine women and reproductive health care, Maine care does pay for reproductive health care, but he wants it to pay for their abortions. Not only does abortion kill the unborn baby it harms the mother.
Besides the mental anguish and guilt many women suffer for the rest of their lives after having an abortion, there are 34 studies linking abortion with breast cancer. Most studies showed an increased risk of 30 percent and up to 80 percent in women that undergo abortion and also have a relative who had breast cancer.

Legislative analysts say it won't cost the state anything to defend a ban on partial-birth abortions. But the Utah Attorney General's Office places the cost at $200,000 -- including $142,000 to pay opposing counsel if and when the state loses the lawsuit.
Senators were undeterred by that revelation and voted 25-3 Monday to give final approval to SB69, a partial-birth abortion ban that mirrors a recent federal law. The federal law has been challenged in court, and senators hope that any challenge of Utah's ban can be wrapped into the federal court case.

They've whittled away so much from Roe until there isn't much of Roe left," says Larry Rodick, president/CEO of Planned Parenthood of Alabama, which serves southeastern Mississippi and gets referrals from its Hattiesburg affiliate. "We get a steady stream of patients from across the border. They tend to be younger women and the poor, although a lot of the poorest women can't even make the trip because of the associated costs." After pausing a moment, he adds, "I don't think anyone really knows what happens to them.
"Some states, like California and New York and others will become abortion destinations, which isn't a problem in and of itself. But some women won't be able to make those trips," [Janet Crepps] says. "The people who can afford to make those trips will get the health care t...

BIRTH CONTROL MYTH
We're told Planned Parenthood and other birth control businesses should receive public subsidies. Not because these businesses worked to elect the far-left politicians who control Washington. No, it's anything but that. We should spend big money subsidizing these businesses, despite their proven profit potential, because it's good for us. We're told spending hundreds of millions on this special interest will save all of us a bunch of money. That's what a new study assures us, and we must believe it. Why must we believe the study? Because it was conducted by the Guttmacher Institute, and the Associated Press assures us the pro-abortion think tank "is generally respected even by experts and activists who don't share its advocacy of abortion rights." So who are these exp...

The first bill completely ignores the complexity and mentality behind most people in America choosing to have abortions. The right likes to characterize wayward women as having "abortions on demand" and simply seeking abortion as an option so they don't have to alter their "sex in the city" lifestyles but that is not the reality.
Most women who choose to have an abortion have thought long and hard about the decision, they've considered the financial, emotional and social costs of what they are about to do. Walking into the building to have an abortion is a tough decision for most women and to assume that an additional baby centered "birds and the bees" conversation is going to get them to change their minds demonstrates a grotesque lack of knowledge on the part of the bill's authors.

In a former Soviet country on the Baltic Sea, abortions cost $25. The Pill costs $30 to $60 a month. So of course women use abortion for birth control. P.J. Elkins has devoted her life to changing that.
As a missionary to Latvia, through a program she calls Precious Life Ministry, she lectures in Latvian schools, churches and clinics about the medical, psychological and emotional repercussions of abortion.
