Pregnancy and Rights Groups: Part 1

Last night while watching Jeffrey Ross talk about pictures getting slammed around by ghosts on 'Celebrity Ghost Stories' on the biography channel I saw a link that I immediately went to
http://www.toomanyaborted.com/



Their Vision is to stop abortion in America.
They state the statistics on their site, I was awakened. On TOOMANYABORTED.COM they state In 2006 the Abortion Surveillance Report - CDC.GOV and Factfinder - US CENSUS BUREAU came out with these statistics.

* Approx 1.2 abortions happened in 2006
* Black women abort 3 times as many as white women and 2 times as many as any other race.
* More deaths are caused by abortion than heart disease, cancer, cerebrovascular diseases, accidents, homicides, suicides and diabetes COMBINED.

That is outrageous.

To me this is a double edged sword.

When I first started speech and debate team in high school this was my very first debate. I had to chose Pro Life or Pro Abortion, I chose Pro Life for the sake of getting a good grade but to this day I am still very much Pro Choice. I did research on abortion, when it began, when it was outlawed and when it came back. I saw the mortality rate because of insufficient sterile places to complete the task. I personally would never be able to get an abortion, no matter the circumstances, there are too many other options available.
But for others, who are put in a situation where they can die if they do not go through with it, whether it be age or medical reasons/history, or for those raped or other reasons, I believe that they should have a choice. I know that my mother had an abortion before me and she could barely take care of me let alone another child. I always rationalized it, the baby was better off, my mother was better off. But neither were. The baby was never allowed to have a chance at life and all life's possibilities.

For Georgia where the black community makes up for 58.2% of the abortions being done, I think this is a great movement.

Overall, I think that there should be a choice if it comes down to death or life.
I think people should be educated of the statistics.
