Abortion Facts
Legal Throughout Pregnancy
  • In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe vs. Wade and Doe vs. Bolton decisions superceded all
    state laws prohibiting abortion.  Because of the broad health definition in Doe vs. Bolton,
    abortion was made legal through all nine months of pregnancy for any "health" reason a
    woman can think of and her abortionist will agree to.
  • Abortion providers argue that second and third trimester abortions are only allowed when a
    mother's life and health are in danger.  What they don't tell you is that according to Doe vs.
    Bolton, health is defined in very broad terms i.e., social well-being, as to make it virtually
    impossible for a state to protect the unborn child even after the sixth or seventh month of
    pregnancy.
  • Doe vs. Bolton, 410 U.S. 179 stated "...the medical judgement may be exercised in the light of
    all factors - physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman's age relevant to the
    well-being of the patient.  All these factors may relate to health."
  • Since the 1973 decisions, it is estimated that there have been more than 48 million abortions
  • Abortion is one of the least regulated industries in our country.  Reported complications and
    deaths from abortions are often far lower than the actual number.
