 Fact of LIFE
Abortion advocates often use a coathanger to symbolize the "age of back-alley abortions" where women were forced to seek abortions from "unqualified butchers." The number of women who died from illegal "back-alley" abortions was often said to be in the thousands. However, according to the U.S. Bureau of Vital Statistics, there were only 39 women who died from illegal abortions in 1972.

 A Testimonial
I learned that I was pregnant at the age of eighteen, shortly after moving in
with my boyfriend. Feeling scared and insecure, I didn't know how a baby would
fit into my future. Upon seeking counsel from friends and family, it seemed
logical to consider abortion as an option. After all, I was young, pretty and
intelligent. I had my whole life ahead of me.
It was a shock to learn that I was near the 6th month of my pregnancy. This
fact certainly complicated matters. It would mean that I would have to have a
different, more costly, kind of abortion. With the support of those I valued
most, I made a decision. An appointment was set for one week later. Read More>>
