YOUR SUPPORT COULD SAVE HELPLESS HUMAN BEINGS
As you read this, you literally hold the power of life
and death in your hands. If you put this paper aside
without taking action,. you will be giving indirect
assistance to those who would exterminate countless
unborn children.
During 1973 in our accredited Canadian hospitals
over 40,000 innocent, defenseless unborn beings met a
violent and inhuman death, MORE iN 74. This destruc-
tion of human life is not only an immoral atrocity but a
social injustice. When you have become hardened to
the phrase "Termination of Pregnancy; the next step
will be euthanasia - perhaps yours - if you are an incon-
venience to someone else. ONE THING LEADS TO
ANOTHER.
Citizens who favor liberalized abortion laws say the
mother of this child has rights over her own body. We
emphatically agree! But do her rights Include dealing
out a death sentence to another human being who is
completely defenseless?
Many contend that the unborn child has no rights.
They say he isn't a child at all. Look at the picture
again. Two weeks after this child was conceived, he
a
was almost in constant motion and responded to
movements of stress. Six weeks later, he sucked his
thumb. If he had been removed from the womb three
months after conception, he would have struggled for
life as long as two or three hours.
THESE ARE FACTS
Can you say in your heart that the unborn child isn't
entitled to a natural development of the life God has
given him? Does anything Justify the unprovoked snat-
ching of humen life?
You can speak for this child and others like him who
have no voice. Write your governmental representative
now and cast your vote AGAINST liberalized abortion
laws. It will cost you only eight cents in postage.
Don't leave this fight to the next person. It Is your
voice that is important. Unless you pick up your pen
now, thousands upon thousands of children wilt die
and end up in the Incinerators of our hospitals.
It's your choi0e now for all time.
