End Tax-Funded Abortions News from The Committee to End Tax-Funded Abortions September 1988 Welcome to the second edition of Campaign Comments. Once again, we say "Thanks" for all of your help and we welcome your comments. 50,000 "LIFESAVERS ROLLING YOUR WAY! The 6th annual Lifesaver drive is scheduled for September Lifesavers" from Ri ht to Life affiliates and 2 000 local to participate. Our goal is to distribute 150,000 rolls of Lifesavers and raise 250,000 for the campaign. To get involved, contact your local RTL affiliate or call Peggy Campbell at the Grand Rapids Office (616) 451-0601. WOULD YOU BELIEVE? In 1985, one abortionist performed 3,448 Medicaid abortions! Assuming that this person worked five days a week and never took a vacation, this abortionist must have averaged 13.25 abortions per day! By comparison, the hospital that perform·ed the most abortions in 1985 only performed 2,656! BIG DIPPERS The same abortionist mentioned above received 453 440.80 in state tax dollars for these abortions. Together, seven other abortionists billed the taxpayer 1.73 million for abortions that they per­ formed just in 1985. DOUBLE DIPPERS The National Right to Life News reports that approximately 83% of the nations abortions are performed in cllinics, and it has been estimated that 30 - 50% of these clinics are tax exempt. That is, they\ ar/ not required to pay federal income taxes because they are considered to be in the same .gt!eg6ry as traditional churches and charities. · PRO-CHOICE? Perhaps it was figures such as the ones above which prompted nationally syndicated columnist, Joseph Sobran to say, "This fall Michigan will hold a referendum on whether to continue the state funding of abortion. The anti-abortion forces are conducting an excellent campaign so far. My only advice to them is to keep using the word "abortionist" as often as possible. This personalizes the issue in just the right way: "Should the taxpayer be forced to pay the abortionist?" How can anyone say yes to that and still pretend to be "pro-choice"?

THE ELECTION!!!!! respon~e to proponef1ts of rape & 1ncest exceptions 1. Assertion: Abortion should be available to victims of rape. Response: a. Rape victims need support and compassion from family, friends and the community in general. (1) "It would be impossible to overstate the importance of psychological support from a woman's family and friends. There is a great need to assure that, no matter what the circumstances of conception, there should never be any embarrassment about bringing a child into the world. There is also a great need to assure the woman (and her family and friends) that crime is not hereditary and that, in fact, rape is one of the rare instances in which good can come from evil." (Mary Meehan, "Facing the Hard Cases," Human Ufe Review (Summer, '83), p. 21.) (2) Abortion does not mitigate the trauma of rape; it only compounds it with the trauma of abortion. A study done at the University of British Columbia's Department of Psychiatry, as reported in the March 3, 1978 issue of Psychiatric News, a publication of the American Psychiatric Association, demonstrated ttiat abortion often exacerbates a woman's psychological stress. That study conclud­ ed in part: "Whatever may be the case at the conscious level, at a much deeper level, abortion is regarded by many women as infanticide." b. Abortion is not an act of compassion, but of violence. (1) "Honesty requires us to say that it is unjust that a ·woman carry to term a child conceived through rape, but that it is a far greater injustice to kill the child. This is a rare situation in which injustice cannot be avoided; the best that can be done is to reduce it. The first injustice lasts for nine months of a life that can be relieved, both psychologically and financially. The second injustice ends a life, and there is no remedy for that." (Meehan, "Facing the Hard Cases," p. 21). (2) "The child is innocent, and should not be punished for the father's crime. Rapists are no longer executed in our country, their children, the totally innocent result of the crime, should not be ex­ ecuted in their place." (Meehan, "Facing the Hard Cases," p. 21.) (3) "Rape is an act of aggression or violence, not of sex or lust. Is not the harm of the unborn child the intent of the abortion procedure, one which is also an act of violence? Do not the acts of rape and abortion both hold views of human beings which make objects of them? When a woman exercises her right to control her own body in total disregard of the body of another human being, it is called abortion.

THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT: ABORTION AND COMPELLED PHYSICIAN SPEECH Abstract: Across the country, courts have confronted the question of whether laws requiring physicians to display ultrasound images of fetuses and describe the human features violate the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. On April 5, 2019, in EMW Women’s Surgical Center, P.S.C. v. Beshear, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit joined the Fifth Circuit and upheld Ken- tucky’s law, thus rejecting a physician’s free speech challenge. The Supreme Court declined to review this decision without providing an explanation. The Sixth Circuit became the third federal appellate court to rule on such regulations, often referred to as “ultrasound narration laws” or “display and describe laws,” and joined the Fifth Circuit in upholding such a law against a First Amendment challenge.

Law School Student Scholarship. 193. https://scholarship.shu.edu/student_scholarship/193 THE RIGHT TO AN ABORTION AND GENDER DISCRIMINATION: AN ARGUMENT FOR FINANCIAL ABORTION Narline Casimir Introduction Gender biases and discrimination have created conditions where women were and in some instances are still considered the lesser of the two sexes. The issue of gender inequality is global. World news reports relates stories of women who are not given the same privileges as men.1 Certain cultures have assigned roles to women and they risk punishment or ostracism if they dare to step outside of the bounds that were created for them.2 Here, in the United States, women have come a long way with the right to vote and the opportunity to get an education alongside men. However, women still face instances of gender inequality regarding the issues of equal pay and equal treatment.3 However, there is one area in which women have the upper hand. That area is reproductive freedom through abortion. In Roe v. Wade4, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in favor of a woman’s right to choose to obtain an abortion prior to viability of the fetus.5 The Court gave deference to the effects of pregnancy on a woman and ignored the effects of abortion on men.

    Gibraltar Command Paper on Abortion British Pregnancy Advisory Service Response

    Gibraltar Command Paper on Abortion British Pregnancy Advisory Service Response The British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) is a British reproductive healthcare charity that offers abortion care, contraception, STI testing, and pregnancy counselling to nearly 80,000 women each year via our clinics in Great Britain. We also treat women from Northern Ireland, Ireland, and Europe where their domestic laws prevent them accessing the care they need. As part of our advocacy work to enable the women we treat to get the best possible care, we campaign for the decriminalisation of abortion. We do not believe there are circumstances where it is ever appropriate to imprison a woman for making a decision about her own pregnancy Proposals BPAS welcomes this Command Paper and the desire to ensure that abortion law in Gibraltar is in line with human rights legislation. Based on our experience providing abortion care under the Abortion Act 1967 from which this proposal is transcribed, we have a number of proposals, produced in support of the proposals of local pro-choice groups, to ensure that international standards are met and women in Gibraltar are better able to access the care they need. These proposed changes would see the creation of abortion legislation similar to that of Ireland, the Isle of Man, France, and other European nations. Decriminalisation of women. There is no place in law for the continued criminalisation of women seeking to end their own pregnancies. It is out of step with most of Europe, with the USA, Canada, multiple states in America, and – most notably – with the new legislation being brought forward in Ireland.

INTRODUCTION In May 2002, due to continuing pressure to investigate the United Nations Population Fund's (UNFPA) alleged support of Chinese forced abortion and in- voluntary sterilization practices, the Bush administration sent an independent as- sessment team to evaluate the UNFPA's family planning programs in China.' Although the team concluded that the UNFPA has not "knowingly supported or participated in the management of a program of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization in the PRC [People's Republic of China], 2 the Bush administration nevertheless relied on a little-known statutory provision under The Foreign Op- erations, Export Financing and Related Programs Appropriations Act to cut $34 Copyright © 2003, The Regents of the University of California. t.
