In the early 1960’s prayer was taken out of our public school systems. That was the only moral
teaching some kids ever received.
Those early laws came out of the experiences of the early American settlers’ concern for the civil
atrocities of Europe (for example, the Spanish Inquisition).
In 1642 The Old Deluder Satan Act was the first public school law enacted in America. That
law declared: it being one chief project of that old deluder, Satan, to keep men from the
knowledge of Scriptures as in former times. (Education and Founding Fathers by David Barton).
For centuries following this first law, this Bible centered approach was universally embraced in
America.
Since our country was founded on the teaching of Bible verses to our students, I would like to
read a few that are prolife. (see attached sheet)
The shedding of innocent blood is called “an abomination to God” (KJV). God took ancient
Israel away from the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (Exodus
3:8). They practiced child sacrifice to the gods of Baal and Molech, burning their children alive.
God hates the hands that shed innocent blood. (Proverbs 6:17) What is more innocent than an
unborn baby?
“Fetus” is a Latin word for “baby.” The Nazis dehumanized the Jews and others targeted for
extermination by calling them “parasites,” “bacilli,” and “useless eaters.” Today prochoice
advocates call babies “blobs of tissue” and “products of conception,” and women are lied to by
their boyfriends, husbands, doctors, and some clergy who call themselves “prochoice” which
means “prodeath.”
God took Israel away from the Jews when they turned away from God (1 Kings 11:7) by
engaging in the same child killing practices of the Ammonites who preceded them – Solomon
built a “high place” for Molech, the abominable idol of the Amorites.
What will God do to America for killing almost 58 million of our innocent babies??
As for the Supreme Court, they upheld slavery in the Dred Scott case in 1857. It didn’t last.
Neither will Roe v Wade last.
93% of women regret their abortions according to Dr. David Reardon in his book Aborted
Women: Silent No More.
Abortion kills one victim and wounds another, every time.
Please refer to the document I’ve included titled “So you’re going to have an abortion.” I’d like
to read some highlights from this document.

The Baby
Psalms 139:13-16 For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my
mother's womb. 14 I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully
made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. 15 My frame
was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in
the depths of the earth; 16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in
Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there
was not one of them. NASB
Isaiah 49:1,5 Listen to Me O islands, And pay attention, you peoples from afar.
The Lord called Me from the womb; From the body of My mother He named
Me...5 And now says the Lord, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant
NASB
Luke 1:41-44 When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her
womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 And she cried out with a

your womb! 43 And how has it happened to me, that the mother of my Lord would
come to me? 44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the
baby leaped in my womb for joy." NASB

Judges 13:3,5-7 Then the angel of the Lord appeared to the woman, and said to
her, "Behold now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall

a son, and no razor shall come upon his head, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God
from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the
Philistines." 6 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, "A man of God
came to me and his appearance was like the appearance of the angel of God, very
awesome. And I did not ask him where he came from, nor did he tell me his name.
7 But he said to me, 'Behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son, and now
you shall not drink wine or strong drink nor eat any unclean thing, for the boy shall
be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.'"(Samson was
dedicated to God even "from the womb", before birth) NASB
Job 3:3 ...the night which said, 'A boy is conceived.' (a boy child in the womb)

created him; male and female He created them. NASB
James 3:9 ... men, who have been made in the likeness of God; NASB
The Mothers

weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; She refuses to be comforted for her
children, Because they are no more."...17 "There is hope for your future ,"...34
...declares the Lord, "for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember
no more." NASB
Matthew 5:4 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." NASB
Romans 8:1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ
Jesus. NASB
Hebrews 4:15-16 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with
our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without
sin. 16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that
we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. NASB
Abortion Industry
Psalms 15:5 Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. NASB (The righteous
man does not accept payment to harm an innocent person; those who do so are
wicked.)

his feet in the blood of the wicked. NASB (We will rejoice when the evil are
brought to justice.)

unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident...20 ...so
that they are without excuse. NASB
2 Corinthians 4:4 ...the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving
NASB (The gospel is open and revealed to everyone, except to those who refuse
to believe. Satan is the god of this world. His work is to deceive, and he has
blinded those who don't believe in Christ. The allure of money, power, and
pleasure blinds people to the light of Christ's gospel. Those who reject Christ and
prefer their own pursuits have unknowingly made Satan their god. --NASB Life
Application Study Bible commentary)
Shedding of Innocent Blood
Genesis 4:10 And He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s
blood is crying to me from the ground.” NASB (Cain murdered his brother Abel.)
Exodus 20:13 You shall not murder. NASB (The sixth of the Ten
Commandments.)
Exodus 21:22-23 If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and...23 But if
there is serious injury, you are to take life for life NIV (Killing the unborn baby is
murder, so the penalty is death.)
Leviticus 20:2-5 “You shall also say to the sons of Israel, ‘Any man from the sons
of Israel or from the aliens sojourning in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to
Molech, shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with
stones. 3 I will also set My face against that man and will cut him off from his
people, because he has given some of his offspring to Molech, so as to defile My
sanctuary and to profane My holy name. 4 If the people of the land, however,
should ever disregard that man when he gives any of his offspring to Molech, so as
not to put him to death, 5 then I Myself will set My face against that man and
against his family; and I will cut off from among their people both him and all
those who play the harlot after him, by playing the harlot after Molech.’” NASB
Psalm 106:35 But athey mingled with the nations
And learned their 1practices,
36 And aserved their idols,
b
Which became a snare to them.
37 They even asacrificed their sons and their daughters to the bdemons,
38 And shed ainnocent blood,
The blood of their bsons and their daughters,
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
And the land was cpolluted with the blood.
39 Thus they became aunclean in their 1practices,
And bplayed the harlot in their deeds.
40 Therefore the aanger of the LORD was kindled against His people
And He babhorred His 1cinheritance.
41 Then aHe gave them into the hand of the 1nations,
And those who hated them ruled over them.
42 Their enemies also aoppressed them,
And they were subdued under their 1power.
43 Many times He would adeliver them;
They, however, were rebellious in their bcounsel,
And so csank down in their iniquity.
Proverbs 6:16-17 ...things the Lord hates, ...that are detestable to Him: 17...hands
that shed innocent blood NIV
Isaiah 1:15-17 15 So when you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My
eyes from you; Yes, even though you multiply prayers, I will not listen. Your

Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight. Cease to do evil, 17 Learn to do
good; Seek justice, Reprove the ruthless, Defend the orphan, Plead for the widow.
NASB

will ...call this place...the Valley of Slaughter...8 I will devastate this city and make
it an object of scorn NIV

forgotten Me and cast Me behind your back, bear now the punishment of your
lewdness and your harlotries." 36 Moreover, the Lord said to me, "Son of Man,
will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations. 37
For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. Thus they have
committed adultery with their idols and even caused their sons, whom they bore to
Me, to pass through the fire to them as food. 38 Again, they have done this to Me:
they have defiled My sanctuary on the same day and have profaned My sabbaths.
39 For when they had slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered My
sanctuary on the same day to profane it; and lo, thus they did within My house."

land NIV
Higher Laws
Exodus 1:15-21 Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, one of
whom was named Shiphrah, and the other was named Puah; 16 and he said, “When
you are helping the Hebrew women to give birth and see them upon the birthstool,
if it is a son, then you shall put him to death; but if it is a daughter, then she shall
live.” 17 But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt had
commanded them, but let the boys live. 18 So the king of Egypt called for the
midwives, and said to them, “Why have you done this thing, and let the boys live?”
19 The midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not as the
Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and they give birth before the midwife can
get to them.” 20 So God was good to the midwives, and the people multiplied and
became very mighty. 21 Because the midwives feared God, He established
households for them. NASB

SO ... YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AN ABORTION!!
WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE BABY.
BUT WHAT
CAN HAPPEN
TO YOU?
World renowned abortionist Warren Hern of Boulder, Colorado states: "In medical practice,
there are few surgical procedures given so little attention and so underrated in its potential
hazards as abortion. It is a commonly held view that complications are inevitable."
Here are some possible complications you may have that you'd like to ask your abortionist about.
Print this article and ask him to check at the end of each complication listed to confirm whether
he agrees with these statements or not. Then ask him to initial your print-out at the end for future
reference, especially if you have problems later.
And remember! Literally all of the problems listed below have been found in studies conducted
in the medically sophisticated setting of university hospital centers, and by highly trained
surgeons. These, however, constitute less than 10% of abortions done.
Here are complications you can have with your abortion:
HEMORRHAGE: Between 1-out-of-7 to 1-out-of-100 women require a blood transfusion due
to bleeding from an abortion.
HEPATITIS: This can occur if you have to have a blood transfusion after an abortion.
LACERATION OF THE CERVIX: About 1-out-of-20 women suffer this during an abortion.
This causes you to have nearly a 50/50 chance of miscarrying in your next pregnancy if it is not
treated properly during that pregnancy. A high incidence of cervical damage from the abortion
procedure has raised the incidence of miscarriage in aborted women to 30-40%.
PERFORATION OF THE UTERUS: Punching a hole in the uterus occurs between 1-out-of40 to 1-out-of-400 abortions. This almost always causes peritonitis similar to having a ruptured
appendix.
BOWEL INJURY: If your uterus is perforated, your intestines can be perforated too. This will
cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, blood in stool, peritonitis and death if not treated
quickly enough. A portion of the intestine may have to be taken out, and a temporary or
permanent colostomy may be put in your abdomen.
BLADDER INJURY: If your uterus is perforated, your urinary bladder can be perforated too.
This also can cause peritonitis with all its misery, dangers and necessary reparative surgery.
INFECTION: Mild fever and sometimes death occurs when there is an infection from an
abortion. This happens anywhere from 1-in-4 abortions to 1-in-50 abortions.
STERILITY: You may become sterile so that you can never get pregnant again. This happens in
1-out-of-20 to 1-out-of-50 abortions. The risk of secondary infertility among women with at least
one induced abortion is 3-4 times greater than that among non-aborted women.
ECTOPIC PREGNANCY: After an abortion you are 8 to 20 times more likely to have an
ectopic pregnancy. If not discovered soon enough, an ectopic pregnancy ruptures, and you can
bleed to death if you do not have emergency surgery. Statistics show a 30% increased risk of
ectopic pregnancy after one abortion and a 160% increased risk after two or more abortions.
There has been a 3 fold increase in ectopic (or tubal) pregnancies in the U.S. since abortion was
legalized. In 1970 the incidence was 4.8 per 1,000 live births. By 1980 it was 14.5 per 1,000
births.
FAILED ABORTION: Failure to kill unborn babies younger than 6 weeks is relatively
common. Surprise, surprise! Mommy's pregnant even though she endured the dangers and cost
of an abortion.
UNRECOGNIZED ECTOPIC PREGNANCY: Without an ultrasound to be sure, your
abortionist may scrape your uterus to take out the baby, but the baby is growing in one of your
fallopian tubes out of harm's way. Unfortunately the tubal pregnancy ruptures later and
emergency surgery must be done to save your life. It is safe to say that ALL FIRST
TRIMESTER ABORTIONS SHOULD HAVE AN ULTRASOUND TO MAKE SURE YOU
DO NOT HAVE AN ECTOPIC PREGNANCY.
RETAINED PRODUCTS OF CONCEPTION: If your abortionist leaves pieces of the baby,
placenta, umbilical cord or amniotic sac, you may develop pain, bleeding or low grade fever.
Besides antibiotics and possible hospitalization you may require additional surgery to remove
these "left overs."
SEVERE, RAPID BLEEDING: You may develop DIC (disseminated intravascular
coagulopathy) from your abortion. This is extremely life threatening and difficult to treat. It
occurs in 2 out of 1,000 second trimester abortions and in 6.6 out of 1,000 (nearly 1-in-100)
saline installation abortions.
BREAST CANCER: Breast cancer has risen by 50% in America since abortion became legal in
1973. Women who have aborted have significantly higher rates of breast cancer in later life.
POST-ABORTION SYNDROME: Frequently after an abortion, mothers have recurrent
memories, dreams and repetitions of the abortion experience; avoidance of emotional
attachment; relationship problems; sleep disturbances; guilt about surviving when the unborn
child died; memory impairment; hostile outbursts; suicidal thoughts or actions and substance
abuse. This may occur days to years later.
PLACENTA PREVIA: In this condition (placenta previa) your baby's placenta lies over the exit
from the uterus so that the placenta has to be delivered BEFORE the baby can get out. This
causes the mother to bleed severely while the baby almost always dies. An astute obstetrician
who recognizes placenta previa removes the baby by Caesarean section at just the right time in
the pregnancy -- not too early and not too late. Statistics show this problem in your future
pregnancies is 6 to 15 times more likely after you have had an abortion.
MORE MISCARRIAGES LATER: Women who have had two or more previous abortions
have TWICE as many first trimester miscarriages in later pregnancies. There was a TENFOLD
increase in the number of second trimester miscarriages in pregnancies which followed a vaginal
abortion.
EFFECTS ON THE NEXT PREGNANCY: If you have an abortion: (1) you will be more
likely to bleed in each of the first three months of the following pregnancies; (2) you will be less
likely to have a normal delivery in the following pregnancies; (3) you will need more manual
removal of placenta and other third stage interventions in the following pregnancies; (4) your
next child will be twice as likely to die in the first few months of life; (5) your next child will be
three to four times as likely to die in the last months of his first year of life; (6) the likelihood of
your next baby having a low birth weight will be increased; (7) your next baby is more likely to
be born prematurely with all the dangerous and costly problems that entails.
Rh INCOMPATIBILITY: Your abortionist should be sure of your baby's Rh blood type if you
are Rh-negative so that he can protect you and your next baby against future Rh
incompatibilities. These Rh incompatibilities: (1) can require that future babies will need
transfusions soon after birth, (2) future babies may be born dead because of the incompatibility,
(3) future babies may die soon after birth because of the Rh incompatibility. If your abortionist
doesn't ascertain the blood type of the baby you are going to abort even in very early suction
abortions done before eight weeks, fetal-maternal hemorrhage can occur, thereby sensitizing you
if you are Rh-negative.
IF YOU ARE A YOUNG MOTHER: Complication rates of abortion increase as the mothers
are younger and the unborn babies are older. BUT younger (teen-age) mothers who carry their
babies to term have better births than older mothers if they get proper care. There is evidence that
in 15 to 17 year old women, pregnancy may even be healthier than in older ages.
