Allow me to extend to ALL a very happy Mothers Day. Motherhood is
perhaps the most sacred of gifts bestowed upon women. Even those who
feel glum can take comfort knowing that your mother loved you enough
not to exercize her right to abort you.

If my mother had had aborted the fetus that later became me, then I never
would have existed in the first place and therefore would not be around
to
know the difference.

Does that mean you really don't care one way or the other whether you
are a living, breathing human being today?

'm not sure, but I don't think there's a
Hallmark card for *that* one.

Maybe she just forgot to consider it. If she had it to do over again...?

Perhaps you wish you had never been born?

The living siblings of aborted fetuses - how scarey is that! If you
were to find out that your mother killed off what would have been your
brother or sister, whoa! Talk about trauma!

This does happen.

I can see it now: "Hi Mom, I sent you two Mother's Day cards - one from
me, and one from the one you killed off."

That's right, Bush needs cannon fodder.

Abort them now, or later, it's all the same to him.

I think this link sums up what you said

How nice of you to decide for others what they should value.

Doesn't that imply that nothing (and no one) is of any value whatever
unless so endowed by others?

STUDY REPORTS RISE IN CHILDBIRTH DEATHS
San Jose Mercury News (SJ) - Tuesday, June 11, 1996
By: New York Times

UNITED NATIONS In the first comprehensive survey in a decade to look
at
maternal deaths worldwide, UNICEF reported Monday that about 585,000
women die
each year during pregnancy and childbirth, many needlessly.

Millions more, perhaps as many as 18 million women, suffer
debilitating
illnesses or injuries that often disable them.

The figures are nearly one-fifth higher than previous estimates of
about
500,000 deaths, according to the report by UNICEF, the United Nations
Childrens
Fund, which compiled the new data with the World Health Organization and
Johns
Hopkins University.

Much of the tragedy is preventable, the study says.

"For the most part, these are the deaths not of the ill, or the very
old,
or the very young, but of healthy women in the prime of their lives,"
says the
report, the Progress of Nations 1996.

Data from the report indicate that one in 13 women in sub-Saharan
Africa
and one in 35 in South Asia dies of causes related to pregnancy and
childbirth,
according to UNICEF officials, compared with one in 3,200 in Europe, one
in
3,300 in the United States, and one in 7,300 in Canada.

The survey faults the shortage of obstetric care in many nations. It
calls
for the proper medical training of more midwives who would be better
qualified
than traditional birth attendants to assist mothers before, during and
after
delivery.

About 75,000 women die annually of botched abortions and another
75,000 of
brain and kidney damage in eclampsia, a disorder that can cause high
blood
pressure and convulsions late in pregnancy. At least 100,000 die of blood
poisoning and 40,000 of obstructed labor.

The report on maternal risks, prepared under UNICEF's director,
Carol
Bellamy, a former New York City Council president and director of the
Peace
Corps who took over the agency last year, is notably stronger in its
language
and imagery than many U.N. publications.

The new figures produced in the UNICEF report raised some questions
among
experts, who say that getting accurate information on maternal mortality
is
notoriously difficult. At Harvard University, Lincoln Chen, professor of
international health and head of the Center for Population and
Development
Studies, said that the difference between 500,000 maternal deaths, the
previously accepted figure, and 585,000 or 600,000 may fall within a
margin of
error, since all such numbers were "insecure."
