What Every American Needs to Know

Few people know about widespread unwanted, coerced or even forced abortions in America ...
Few fully understand its heartbreaking, even deadly, aftermath for teens and women of all ages
— especially when the abortion was unwanted or even forced, or if family, friends and even
experts have dismissed the injustice ... denied the grief ... or failed even to acknowledge the
mothers who died from pregnancy-related violence or in the aftermath of abortion.

For decades, many women were denied help when they needed it most or given false or
misleading information from trusted health care providers, experts, parents and even pastors. Some were told there was no available help. Others were deceived about fetal development and kept in the dark about alternatives, even though studies indicate the majority felt rushed and uncertain, or pressured by others. Few were screened for evidence of unwanted, coerced or forced abortion. Now, many are expected to absorb the significant, heartbreaking, and even deadly aftereffects alone.

Why are they calling abortion The UnChoice?
n 64% of abortions involve coercion
n 84% were not fully informed
n 52% felt rushed and 54% uncertain beforehand, yet ...
n 67% received no counseling beforehand, and
n 79% were not informed about alternatives
n Most suffer trauma plus a higher risk of injury or death
n Coercion is common and can escalate to violence
n Homicide is the leading killer of pregnant women

Clearly, this is not a free, fair or fully informed “choice.” Nor is it a just substitute for the full disclosure, meaningful alternatives and other support that women need and deserve.

Those who would pressure or even force teens and other women into unwanted abortions need to
know that:
n Risk of death for women is 62% higher after abortion
n 31% suffer health complications after abortion
n 65% suffer symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
n 60% said “part of me died”
n Teens are 6 times more likely to commit suicide if they’ve had an abortion in the last 6 months
n Clinical depression risk is 65% higher after abortion
n Suicide rates are 6 times higher after abortion*
