Why are black women three times more likely to have an abortion?
Life Issues Connector
Why are black women over 3 times more likely to obtain
an abortion than white women? Even though African Americans are only
12.6% of the population, they received 30% of the 1.2 million abortions
in 2008 (latest available statistics), killing 360,000 black babies at a
rate of nearly 1,000 per day. More than 16 million African American
unborn babies have died from legalized abortion, which suggests that the
current black population of 39 million would have been more than a
third larger without abortion. This scourge is the leading cause of
death for African Americans, more than all other causes combined,
including AIDS, violent crimes, accidents, cancer and heart disease.
African Americans have been disproportionately hurt by abortion because
they have been targeted from the beginning. This is truly a case of
black genocide, and Planned Parenthood is one of the major players in
this tragedy.

UCLA researchers link IVF to increased birth defect risk
LifeSiteNews
Researchers studying the incidence of birth defects in
California have found that children conceived by in vitro fertilization
have a significantly higher rate of genetic disorders compared to
children conceived naturally. UCLA researchers presented findings from
their study, titled, “Congenital Malformations Associated With Assisted
Reproductive Technology: A California Statewide Analysis,” on October 20
at the American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference in New
Orleans. The research team noted that despite the increasing use of IVF
in the US, links between birth defects and IVF are poorly understood.
The management of birth defects accounts for a large part of pediatric
surgical care and demands significant healthcare resources, the
researchers said.

Clinic raffles could make you a winner, and maybe a mother
New York Times
“That’s right, one lucky woman will win the ultimate
chance at starting or building her family,” said a contest announcement
issued in April by Long Island I.V.F., a clinic in Melville that offers
in vitro fertilization to women who are having difficulty conceiving.
Contestants were asked to submit “the most emotional or entertaining
essays and homemade amateur videos” explaining why they wanted a free
round of I.V.F. “Make us laugh with you or cry with you,” the
announcement said. “Tell your story straight from the heart.”
