Subject: "How Can They Call It A Choice?" -- Elliot Institute's Campaign Exposes the Lie

 

 

64% involve coercion up to 83% are unwanted

84% were not given enough information to make an informed choice

 

"I don't know why they call it a choice." --Denise

 

 

Dear Friend,

It was never really about "choice," was it?

Most abortions are unwanted. After decades of deceptive counseling, non-support and coercive tactics ... it's clear that women are not the ones making the "choice."

Consider these real life examples:

  • the physician who leaned across his mahogany desk and snapped, "It's not a baby!!

  • the boss who said he'd push his employee down the stairs if she didn't abort

  • the pastor who assured the young woman's family that abortion was okay

  • the school counselor who said, "Someday, you'll look back on this and laugh"

  • the nurse who said, "This is no time for questions!"


When you look at our new UnChoice PR campaign you will discover the stories of women who were lied to by experts or pushed, and even forced, into a "choice" they didn't want.

 

It is ludicrous to equate abortion with "choice"!

 

Abortion is actually the UnChoice. ... Unwanted. Unsafe. Unfair.

 


Do you realize how much the abortion industry fears this message?

 

Our campaign exposes the truth of abortion's unparalleled harm to the very women abortionists said it would help.

 

It uses the heartfelt voices of real people, backed with the hard-hitting impact of the latest peer-reviewed medical research.

When you look at these ads, you'll see that we are exposing well-guarded secrets: that abortion is not safe ... it is destructive.  It is the nexus for deception, coercion, abuse or repeat molestation, and post-abortion grief, injury and suicide.



Friends, we must awaken Americans to the lies, the injustice, and the crisis of coerced or forced abortion and post-abortion grief which lead to a seven fold increased risk of suicide.

 

With your support, this campaign will stop the unparalleled destruction of abortion. It will convey our compassion for both babies and women. It will open the door to healing for 60 million women and men impacted by abortion.

 

With just one click you can help open that door. 

Most Americans don't realize how many women feel betrayed by non-support, coercion or disinformation ... or just how painful and dangerous "safe legal abortion" has turned out to be. Just think about how many women were told that it wasn't a baby or that they didn't have a choice:

  • A shocking 67% of women report receiving no counseling at all

  • 79% were not told that there were places they could go for help

  • 84% were not given enough information to make an informed choice.


That's just a sample of the treatment women get from abortion "experts." Instead of the support they had hoped for-from family, friends or even employers-women who resist abortion have faced intense, even violent pressure.

 

 

Your donation will help to expose these truths. 


 

Our new UnChoice campaign spotlights the injustice of non-choices like these ...

  • the man who put his fist through the wall and yelled, "Get rid of it. NOW!"

  • the community leader who contacted his physician friend to do the abortion, then ordered his daughter to "shut up" when she protested

  • the mother who took her daughter to an abortion clinic at gunpoint

  • the maternity retailer who fired pregnant employees

  • the parents who locked their daughter in her room until it was time for her unwanted abortion

  • the husband who beat his pregnant wife until she agreed to have the abortion.


Abortion is "a woman's choice"? Hardly!

For most, it's an unwanted nightmare, with serious effects on physical and mental health, including a 7 times higher suicide rate.


The UnChoice campaign exposes the deception of "choice," and shows that many mothers have paid a high price for decades of disinformation.  One mother describes her "incredible horror" when she saw her own aborted baby and realized with "agony and terror" that it was not just some tissue, as they'd said.

"My doctor, the abortionist, the staff . . . all liars! Surely they could see what I saw."



 

The "blob of tissue" deception has been exposed by better awareness of fetal development.  Nearly 80% of Americans now understand that abortion takes a human life.

We're almost there!  But we still must address the lie that abortion is a "choice" that "helps women."

 

This is the abortion industry's last leg to stand on!

 

Do you realize how quickly we can end abortion and foster healing, simply by exposing this lie? In doing so, we will:

  • save babies in immediate danger of being aborted,

  • save mothers living in quiet despair or contemplating suicide,

  • free millions of women, men and families to find healing and warn others of abortion's harm to everyone involved.


Our comprehensive campaign, with quick-reference fact sheets and booklets, will help activists to raise awareness about "the other lie."

 

With your help, we can shatter the myths, stop the carnage, save millions of lives and restore hope to countless broken individuals and families.


 

That's a lot to gain, from a little investment!

     People like you are the key to exposing the dirty little secret that most abortions are unwanted or coerced, sometimes violently ... and that - directly or indirectly - abortion is hurting even those it was supposed to help.

This message is especially important in light of the current high-stakes political debate in South Dakota and other state and national elections. Millions of voters--including pro-lifers--have yet to hear that:

1)   an unwanted, uninformed, misinformed, coerced or forced choice is not a choice, and ...

2)   denying women support while pushing a painful, unsafe and traumatic ordeal is an equally unacceptable "UnChoice."

Voters have yet to hear that abortion is really the UnChoice: Unwanted. Unsafe. Unfair. 

 

 

 

The words of one woman who survived the trauma of abortion reminds us of just how much is at stake ... and just how much we have to gain:

"Thank you so much for doing this advertising campaign. I truly wish this had been around when I had my abortions many years ago.

"I am just sitting here crying thinking ... if only ... It may be too late for me but I know with all my heart you will reach many, many women.

"This is so necessary and life saving."

I trust that you, too, can see the urgency of this outreach! Please consider making a donation today. It only takes a few minutes.

  • the parent, spouse, partner, or friend who is right now encouraging or pressuring a woman to abort ...

  • the college student considering abortion because it's been sold as a "safe and simple" procedure ...

  • the grieving mother pointing a gun to her head because she believes that healing isn't possible ...
