The Democrats’ War against Women

Occasionally, I still see references to the horrors of back alley abortions and the deaths of thousands of women--even saw it in an Obama TV political ad. It's a myth spread by the pro-abortion crowd to get Roe v. Wade passed 40 years ago. They knew it was a lie, but they thought their cause was worth it. (Bernard Nathanson, M.D. Aborting America. Doubleday, 1979, p 193; Marian Faux. Roe v. Wade: The Untold Story of the Landmark Supreme Court Decision That Made Abortion Legal. MacMillan Publishers, 1990.) There is a higher death rate for women in childbirth if there was a previous abortion; there is a higher suicide rate among women who have aborted; the National Cancer Institute has recently reversed itself on the link between breast cancer and abortion, after years of assuring women it wasn't a problem. Oral contraceptives also increase breast cancer. But in any case, abortion is almost 100% fatal for the baby (some survive) over half of which are females, and 40% black. The War against Women is not being waged by the Republican pro-lifers.
