Subject: New Research Changes Old Stereotypes About "Choice"

Dear Friends,

New research changes old stereotypes about "choice."

We've woven it into our family of downloadable ads and educational materials. Shocking new information that derails prevailing stereotypes about "choice." Popular "choice" rhetoric cleverly conceals the "non-choice" reality: Widespread coerced, unwanted abortions and subsequent serious health complications, grief, trauma ... even suicide.

Our newest ads and user-friendly educational materials include newest studies about coercion.

Most abortions involve coercion of one sort or another. Women face significant pressure "from all sides" ... denial of essential support ... and deceptive information presented as fact. Abortion's legacy of injustice still goes on today, as poignantly illustrated in our Portraits of Coercion flyer, the Forced Abortion in America Special Report and the Teens at Risk fact sheet.

Americans would be shocked if they knew about the rampant unjust non-choice realities of abortion!

Some of the most recent research -- included in our Top 10 Reasons Abortion is the UnChoice flyer and Research Booklet -- details information that derails stereotypes about "choice:" the majority of women felt rushed and uncertain before their abortion and ...

64% felt pressured by others, yet ...
an astounding 67% received no counseling beforehand!
79% were not even counseled about alternatives
One heartbreaking study of women who sought counseling after abortion found that 83% would have had their child if they'd had support

In what other sector of society would we call this "health care" or even "choice"?!

This is not medicine, it is malpractice.
This is not "equal rights," it is injustice.
This is not something any justice-minded American citizen can ignore.

The Elliot Institute continues to research abortion's injustice and injury to women and everyone involved ... to educate Americans about our findings ... and to tell those blindsided and broken by abortion that healing is possible.

Our family of recently updated materials brings you the latest academic research, surveys and expert insights in a form that is convenient for user-friendly reference and mass-distribution.

But, like so many non-profit ministries, we operate on a shoestring budget. We desperately need your help to ...

forward these materials to your own circle of leaders, activists, candidates, editors, reporters and friends. ...
run radio or TV ads locally as paid ads or free Public Service Announcements, or
donate to support urgent research, education and outreach.

If Americans knew about coerced abortions and post-abortion risks, they would stop tolerating abortion or even pressuring friends and family to abort!

Perhaps one of the greatest tragedies of this deadly epidemic is that the majority of women who had abortions said they would have had their baby if they'd had support. Many were told by family, friends, professional social workers, educators and even trusted pastors that no personal or practical help was available.

Even "pro-choice" parents don't realize that their daughters and others they love are at risk of coercion and post-abortion complications, trauma and suicide ... aggravated by today's often-hostile political debate.

(See Teens at Risk fact sheet and Psychological Risks and Physical Risks.)

FInally, few pro-lifers -- including political candidates -- realize there is a compassionate prowoman/prolife answer to the divisive "Hard Cases" issue.

Find the only fair answer in the Hard Cases: New Facts. New Answers booklet for a unifying, compassionate answer to this issue.
