Overview - Abortion
Increases in obstetric fistulas.
Increases in unwanted pregnancy.
In 1999 Dr. Catherine Hamlin, co-founder of the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Two year later, after widespread and relentless lobbying the Pro-Life movement succeeded in shutting down its
U.S. funding and added an additional U.S. annual abortion rate to the world’s total annual tally… in the name of human life.
What a legacy…
What We Need
If the specter of abortion is ever to be banished from the human race, there three credible goals: fewer abortions, fewer unwanted pregnancies, and less abortion related suffering. Anything that does not produce demonstrated effectiveness toward these goals is at best naïve, and at worst self-serving deception. Achieving these goals will require change from both sides of the debate.
From the Pro-Choice Movement
Pro-Choice advocates, you’ve done much to open the eyes of the world to the social realities behind the problem and the global need for education and reproductive healthcare. You’ve also helped make the science accessible to policy makers and the public. But you’re in need of some attitude changes.
