“Here I
am! Somewhere I thought I’d never be!!!!
How
could this happen to me? I’ve never felt so alone and so
afraid in my whole life!”
If this
describes you, then take a deep breath and hold on. Help is on
the way! Remember that choosing abortion is your right.
Think about the moment you discovered
your pregnancy. If panic and terror struck your heart,
thoughts like these may have filled your mind:
“It was
an accident…. It wasn’t supposed to happen this way...What
will I tell my parents?” “How will I finish school?” “There go
my hopes and dreams… My whole life is over…This just isn’t the
right time…I can’t even support myself…What if someone finds
out?” “I can’t think about that now… Just one step at a time…
I won’t tell a soul… Very soon and it will be all over… Nobody
has to know… I can be happy again… I can pretend it never
happened… Can’t I?
Can you
live with your choice?
It is
so easy to panic!
When we
panic, it is hard to choose what is best for us. Statistics
show that 88% of abortions take place before twelve weeks,
when we learn we are pregnant and become panic stricken.¹
Abortion is often a panic reaction!
Protect yourself!
Your choice to have
an abortion should not be rushed. Are you anxious to
turn back time? Then it’s possible that panic is driving
you to abort. You deserve to know. Remember, time
erodes panic, causing things to look different in a few days.
Don’t let anyone rush you. (What’s their big hurry anyway?)
Take the time to be sure about your choice.
Go home. Go slow. After all, you can always come back.

ARIN
I was
anxious and moody; not feeling my best, when I knew it was
time for a pregnancy test.
As positive sign appeared, I just
blankly stared. I could not remember ever being so scared.
I thought
about my family, “what would they say?’ In a panic that
consumed me, all my dreams slipped away!
I was desperate for a plan to undo
what I’d done. So I chose an abortion, because a fetus is
no-one.
Yet, she
laid within me in such trusting repose, perfectly complete,
from her face to her toes.
There she slept, all cozy, warm,
and safe in my nest. As her tiny heart pounded against her
small chest.
“Don’t
get attached”, I told
myself, “She has
to go!” Although she would choose life, I must tell
her “NO!”
The clinic worker agreed and
ordered me to stay. It was then that I experienced an odd
twist of fate.
As I shut
out the clinic’s noise, I heard my own voice. It said,
“This is a business selling ‘their’ choice!”
To see those peddling abortions was
too real to ignore. I quickly clutched my baby and walked out
the door.
I still
felt afraid, and yet I just knew, My heart was happy! I did
what I needed to!
I’m so thankful I made the choice
to follow my heart. My Arin isn’t the end of my dreams, she’s
the start!
“Seeing Is
Believing”
Seven weeks (The earliest a surgical abortion is done)
(2nd Trimester)
[read about abortion
procedures]
“A mother’s
true interest is her child’s life and her relationship with
that child”.
We at PCN firmly
believe that you have the right to understand the consequences
of abortion before you submit to one, not after. One of the
best ways to give you an understanding of abortion is to show
you. These photographs allow you to experience the humanity of
these tiny people while clearly showing the brutal nature of
their death.
We also firmly
believe that a mother faced with an unexpected pregnancy is in
crisis and therefore, becomes the worst candidate for
abortion. Studies show that, most often, a woman in crisis
either makes her own choice out of fear of her circumstances
or allows someone else to make the choice for her.
Unfortunately, this choice is not always made in her best
interest.

Thinking about you!
Abortion
and the Law
Abortion is
your legal right and requires personal responsibility. You
need to be told everything about abortion, how it will affect
your body and your future. Placing your well being above the
motives of a clinic is beyond smart, it’s absolutely
essential.
Abortion
and Your Body
This year,
200,000 American women will face physical complications as a
result of legal abortions.² World renowned abortion provider
Warren Hern includes this list of common complications:
hemorrhage, perforation of the uterus, cardiac arrest,
unintended surgery, infection resulting in hospitalization,
convulsions, undiagnosed tubal pregnancy, cervical laceration
and death.³ Will you be one of the 200,000? It’s time to think
about you!
Abortion
and Breast Cancer
Pregnancy
causes breast tissue cells to multiply resulting in new
immature cells. A complete pregnancy allows these cells to
mature, but abortion leaves them immature and prone to cancer.[i]
Since 1957, there have been over 25 reports revealing the link
of breast cancer to abortion! Women who have abortions before
ever completing a pregnancy have a 50% higher breast cancer
risk.[ii]
It’s time to think about you!
Abortion
and Your Future
Choosing
abortion can lead to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Symptoms
include guilt, anger, depression, sleep disturbances,
relationship problems and sexual dysfunction.[iii]
Think about you!
Abortion
and Childbirth
The risk of
dying within a year after an abortion is 3.5 times higher than
the risk of dying after miscarriage or childbirth.[iv]
It’s time to think
about you!
If you are a
woman in crisis, do what many other women before you have
done. Simply get up and walk out. Call!!!!
