I moved to Poland last year and one of the family friends is part of a pro-life group that is working to reduce the loopholes for an abortion. Right now in Poland an abortion is allowed only for three reasons: 1. Danger to mother's life, 2. Rape, 3. Mental/physical health of mother and child
Note that these are the 3 excuses that pro-baby-murder activists cite, yet they account for just 160 abortions a year in a country 1/10th (approx) the size of the US. So, there are only 1,600 or 2,000 abortions that of these kinds in the US
And the family friend wants to remove options 2 and 3. I agree with him. Since the banning of most forms of abortion, there has been no increase in pregnancy-related deaths
======================
You can find also interesting statistics for Northern Ireland, which though a part of the liberal UK, has the same strict anti-murder laws as Poland. Of course, the Northern Irish women can just hop across to Scotland to kill, but that's a journey for a purpose no matter how easy and many presumably think, because the murder of baby rate in N. Ireland is 4.4% only as compared to 22% for England, 20% for Wales and 19% for SCotland
"In a culture of death, we have had the opportunity [with the ultrasound machine provided by Focus on the Family's Option Ultrasound program ] to let them see the life that is pulsing inside, the life of the unborn baby whose presence was already touched by God's hand and blessing. To see and hear the heartbeat of their baby is one of the most shocking and thrilling experiences for most of our clients, who originally came with the expectation of seeing a conglomerate of blood and tissue that they did not think was a human being.... Thank you for helping to change Romania!"
