Recommendation

Abortion should never be anyone's primary method of birth control. However, it is impossible to legislate the
most moral course of action in every situation. There are cases of incest, cases of rape, and cases of health
dangers, and other cases we have not yet imagined where abortion just might be the only sane option a
woman has.

Those who are so virulent against abortion should campaign for factual education about birth control.
Abstinence only education is scientifically proven to be ineffective. Promise keepers organizations only breed
lies. We need to accept the reality of our sexuality and treat it responsibly so abortions never happen except in
the most extreme scenarios.

Conclusions

Most people who favor permissive abortion laws do so out of ignorance of the facts concerning the issue. This
ignorance is made more severe by euphemistic language, deceitful slogans and false statistics used by the
abortionist lobby. Many political leaders in the past had initially favored abortion and only after it had been
legalized did they discover the true facts of the issue. By that time, although they fought hard against it, they
were unable to do anything to change what they had allowed.

Even for many medical doctors, knowledge is often confined to the everyday cases they deal with and many
are ignorant about the facts of abortion and life in the womb. On social issues, many people have swallowed
false statistics and ideas fed to the press by the pro-abortion movement. On ethical issues, many believe the
abortionist position to be kind and compassionate, not noticing that their arguments rest on the assumption that
the rights of the weak and helpless are unimportant. Many assume that the lack of public protest against the
present law legitimizes it. They forget that those killed by abortion never have the opportunity to speak for
themselves. Many people are against abortion, but do not speak out because they do not know the facts
needed to do so.
