I'm amazed and baffled that when I post about this book, i.e. give it a plug, on Abortion "Pinged" postings no one responds to me.
For many years I never knew that this "Lime 5", that was posted on the signs of Abortion Protesters, was a book. Stupid abortion protesters merely post "Lime 5" with no explanation such as "Read it, it's a book".
Anyhow, I found it to an interesting read, non-fiction.
It details the on-going and the reality of abortion. It talks about the CDC and their lack of accurate statistics on abortion. It talks about isolated, uncontrolled, wreckless and rogue abortionists. It also gives first hand accounts from women that have worked as nurses in abortion offices.
It seems like an accurate book that took many years to develop. They cites many good works including many court records and actual court trials that never make the MSM or front page news.
Anyhow, I thought it would be interesting to have something in Free Republic discussing Lime 5. I was disheartened when I did a search for "Lime" and then "Lime 5" and nothing appeared.
Thx.
As opposed to this thread.

I asked the Moderator if they could add a brief description to the title, so it would be more clear to people what the thread is about. People don't read past titles very often these days. ;)
Thank you, A.M. Again.
Fascinating. Haven't read it, but I'll add it to my amazon.com wishlist. I'm curious to see if anyone has read it.
Are there photos of aborted babies and really disturbing stories in it? I shy away from books, web sites, videos, etc. that have pictures of aborted babies. As much as I like to keep up with and support pro-life causes, I just can't tolerate the reality of what abortion does to a tiny, innocent child. It especially hits too close to home after having had a two pound preemie last year.
I would read the book if it's not graphic.

Read it a few years ago ... very accurate book. Crutcher did his homework.
This book is a must-read if you are going to have an intelligent discussion about abortion. I read it a couple of years ago, but I find myself looking things up in this book all the time. The stories are graphic, but there are no pictures of aborted babies. I did not know you could get it from Amazon.com, but I would suggest that you purchase it from Life Dynamics to support their pro-life work. You can order at (817) 380-8800.

Why the drop after 1960? (in deaths of women from illegal abortions)
The reasons were new and better antibiotics, better surgery and the establishment of intensive care units in hospitals. This was in the face of a rising population. Between 1967 and 1970 sixteen states legalized abortion. In most it was limited, only for rape, incest and severe fetal handicap (life of mother was legal in all states). There were two big exceptions California in 1967, and New York in 1970 allowed abortion on demand. Now look at the chart carefully.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Abortion Statistics - Decision to Have an Abortion (U.S.)
· 25.5% of women deciding to have an abortion want to postpone childbearing
· 21.3% of women cannot afford a baby
· 14.1% of women have a relationship issue or their partner does not want a child
· 12.2% of women are too young (their parents or others object to the pregnancy)
· 10.8% of women feel a child will disrupt their education or career
· 7.9% of women want no (more) children
· 3.3% of women have an abortion due to a risk to fetal health
2.8% of women have an abortion due to a risk to maternal health
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So how many womens lives have been saved by abortion?
Only about 3% of abortions since 1972 were reported to be due to a risk to maternal health. A reasonable person would recognize that not all of those cases represent a lethal risk. But lets say they did. That means that nearly 45 million fetuses were butchered to save the lives of about 1.3 million women. Or put another way; 35 babies are killed to save each woman.
Abortion was legal in all 50 states prior to Roe v. Wade in cases of danger to the life of the woman.
