All the facts you need to know are on this website:
http://www.abort73.com/abortion_facts/uk_abortion_statistics/
Some others are that:
Babies feel pain at nine weeks. For every 3 baby's born in America one is aborted and if you do the math that's a lot of baby's just in America think about how many are killed in the entire world.
A vast majority of abortions are elective procedures. According to the latest available data 76% of Albertans support the defunding of abortion with the exception of those abortions performed in the cases of rape, incest or when the life of the mother is in grave and present danger as a result of the physical impact of the pregnancy.
A strong public healthcare system requires ever more prudent fiscal responsibility. We urge the government to only fund procedures that are justifiably deemed medically necessary.
We support conscience rights for taxpayers. Medical procedures that are not widely supported by the public should not be publicly funded. Through this petition we express our sincerest desire as citizens and participants in governance that abortion be defunded in the province of Alberta.
3. Courts Subpoena Abortion Clinic DNA Murder Evidence 
The American justice system stands on volumes of decisions from previous trials. Courts rule—sometimes even against conscience or reason—based on legal precedents.
Prosecutors and defenders often present DNA findings in rape and paternity cases. Judges, jurors, and society readily view this science as positive identification of crimes and criminals.
Such facts even seal or reverse capital murder verdicts. Through DNA proof, falsely convicted prisoners go free. Yes, and even traces of DNA autographs have sentenced thousands of felons to lifelong prison sentences. DNA also proves fatherhood in paternity cases.
4. Make Abortion Illegal in Massachusetts
There have been far too many babies aborted in Massachusetts. It is a shame that a state where many founding fathers were from, abortion is legal.
This is NOT a religious motivated petition. It is for anyone, whether Theist or Atheist, who knows the truth about abortion and why it is wrong.
Let's stand together to overturn Planned Parenthood in the Bay State.
5. Enforce the Death Penalty for Abortionist Kermit Gosnell
Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell charged with murdering 7 infants with scissors
BY LAUREN JOHNSTON
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Wednesday, January 19, 2011
A doctor who ran a "house of horrors" abortion clinic has been charged in the deaths of one woman and seven babies who prosecutors say were born alive then killed with scissors.
Dr. Kermit Gosnell, who treated mostly poor and immigrant women, was arrested Wednesday along with nine employees from his West Philadelphia Women's Medical Society - among them a high school student who performed medial treatments with no license.
Gosnell, 69, raked in millions over 30 years performing illegal and late-term abortions, prosecutors said.
Officials described his squalid clinic like something out of a horror movie
"There were bags and bottles holding aborted fetuses were scattered throughout the building," said Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams. "There were jars, lining shelves, with severed feet that he kept for no medical purpose."
Gosnell has been named in at least 10 malpractice suits, but Williams said state regulators ignored complaints about his clinic and that the office hadn't been inspected since 1993.
Patients endured barbaric procedures at the hands of the twisted doctor, officials charged.
Gosnell "induced labor, forced the live birth of viable babies in the sixth, seventh, eighth month of pregnancy and then killed those babies by cutting into the back of the neck with scissors and severing their spinal cord," Williams said.
6. CBC Must Correct Its False Reporting of the March for Life
On May 12, during the CBC's nightly program "The National", CBC reporter Laurie Graham reported that 5,000 people attended the March for Life on Parliament Hill.
The number was a gross distortion, since the real number of participant exceeded over 15,000.
Whereas:
Allen West is a man of unusual honesty, integrity, intelligence, education, common sense and sound judgment.
Allen West is a man of profoundly Judeo-Christian values. He is strongly pro-life. He is strongly pro-Israel. He correctly understands Islam and the threat it poses to America.
He is beholden to no special interest group. He would carry out the duties of his office in the best interests of America.
8. Stop Stericycle From Servicing the Abortion Industry
The Campaign to Stop Stericycle is a consorted effort against Stericycle, the nation's leading medical waste company, for their collection, transportation and incineration of aborted children.
We are calling upon Stericycle to immediately stop servicing the abortion industry, which facilitates and furthers the holocaust of the unborn in our nation.
9. Carta para el Congreso para decir SI a La Vida y NO al aborto!
Por que los fetos se vuelven humanos noventa días después de la concepción según dicen ciertos legisladores? Nadie conoce la respuesta porque no hay razones que lo justifiquen. El feto no cambia en un instante matemáticamente establecido de su condición de no humano a persona humana.
El único verdadero momento cuando el cambio fundamental y metafísico ocurre es cuando los gametos masculinos y femeninos se encuentran, se unen, y se transforman en huevo. Luego de esto, conservando la completa herencia genética recibida de los genes originales de sus progenitores, el huevo comienza un proceso de desarrollo biológico constituyendo la unidad de la vida en un perfecto ciclo que comienza con la concepción y concluye con la muerte. Por lo tanto, el momento anterior a su concepción, es el único en el que un legislador puede establecer con absoluta seguridad legal que un huevo no es un ser humano.
10. Save the Life Centers by Opposing NYC's Local Law 17-2011
(Full background and petition text below. Thank you!)
(By Signing This Petition, Your Contact Information Will Be Added To Our Mailing List, Both Email, & Regular Mail.)
With 4.3 million abortions performed in New York City in the past 40 years, New York is the "Abortion Capital of America," with approximately 250 abortion providers in the market, according to NARAL, NY.
These numbers indicate there has been consistent, wide availability of abortion services for New York’s women, while access to abortion alternative centers has been far more limited, with only 23 locations (and some of these part-time) operating in all of New York City: a ten to one ratio.
Hear Dr. Alveda King, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's niece, encouraging the signing of this petition
The NYC City Council's Bill #371A was passed overwhelmingly by a 39-9-1 vote on March 2nd, 2011, and signed into Local law 17-2011 by the Mayor on March 16th, 2011. It creates onerous, one-sided, unconstitutional speech regulations, with whopping, cruel and unusually harsh penalties for those centers it describes as "Pregnancy Services Centers."
The newly revised Local Law 17-2011, different than the original Bill #371 offered in October, 2010, narrows the scope of the life centers that are covered by the law.
To be covered, a center location must fit two or more criteria such as offering pregnancy tests, plus maintaining or operating medical equipment (ultrasounds), operating inside of a medical office or a clinic, having technicians present at any time, etc.
All NYC pregnancy centers have provided free options counseling, referrals and some form of material support, but only EMC FrontLine has offered free ultrasound and prenatal care, which no abortion facility in New York City provides.
The law passed on Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011 by a 39-9 vote law APPEARS, at this time, to apply only to the oldest and largest group of centers, EMC FrontLine. It might cover one other group which shares space with a Foot clinic.
On July 14th, 2011, EMC will be ordered to post onerous disclaimers on their doors, waiting room walls, and advertisements, and to make oral disclosures to all potential clients on the phone, internet, and in person that they do not perform abortions or provide referrals, distribute FDA-approved contraceptives or provide referrals, provide or refer for Emergency contraception, or "morning after pills" and recommend seeing a physician, elsewhere, if none are available on-site immediately, at each of their locations, where there is even an appearance of medical services provided (as described above.)
The draconian penalties for repeated violations of the above, include being shut down for five days after three violations, stiff fines of up to $2,500, and JAIL FOR UP TO SIX MONTHS for those who do not comply with the shut-down order, in addition to being subject to private lawsuits, which could include potential punitive damage claims.
The bill’s primary authors and co-sponsors, Councilwomen Jessica Lappin, and Speaker Christine Quinn have repeatedly made slanderous allegations that EMC Pregnancy Centers engaged in false and misleading advertising despite their advertising headline : “Free Abortion Alternatives," and copy points: free ultrasounds, free pregnancy tests, and free confidential options counseling, placed periodically on NY City subways and buses.
At the only public hearing on this bill, November 16, 2010, hypocritically, Planned Parenthood of NYC's president accused EMC of locating across the street and in the same building as two of their sites, and specifically in minority areas. Their abortion mills were opened long before EMC's alternative-to-abortion centers arrived near them.
According to New York Vital Statistics data, in the ten-year period (1999-2008), of the 922,272 abortions performed, 726,845 (79%) were Black and Hispanic babies.
In 2009, NYC saw an overall 41% abortion rate, and New York City Blacks in 2009 had 1,500 abortions for every 1,000 live births, representing a race in decline; rounded up percentage wise, this represents a 60% abortion rate.
These numbers point to a profound need for greater outreach to women of color, and expansion of alternatives- to-abortion services.
Without these centers and availability of free ultrasound services, easy to obtain pre-natal care and honest and compassionate assistance, there is only one option that women see and have: abortion. Without these centers, women have no true “choice.”
In a compassionate city such as New York, life-affirming pregnancy options and assistance, and professionally administered ultrasounds, ought to be celebrated and not legislated into oblivion!
11. Stop Abortion Advertising In Russia
In contemporary Russia, you not allowed to advertise alcohol and cigarettes, but everywhere is freely available and advertised services on abortion.
The victims of this advertising are primarily girls - teens and women from poor families. The annual number of abortions in Russia reaches 2 million.
12. National Petition to Prohibit Tax-Funded Abortion
We are murdering our own offspring. "Abortion is the murder of an innocent child. It has to be condemned by society." - Ven. Pope John Paul II, 2/14/82 Nigeria. "(Abortion) is pure, pure murder." - Blessed Mother Teresa in video to David T. Little, now President of the World St. Thomas More Society.
The USA is the most influential nation on earth. Unless we end this demonic barbarity, and soon, the USA will destroy itself as it has cursed itself by coercing its citizens to pay for abortion through income tax. 50,000,000 and more innocent preborn children have been murdered since 1973. Go to www.worldthomasmore.org for full facts and information.
13. We are Pro! Jesus Christ and Taking Our Nation Back!
Our Founding Fathers were men of prayer, moral persons, and strong in faith. They trusted in The True God Creator of Heaven and Earth to govern this land that is so openly gone backwards.
The time is Now ! for the Body of Christ to raise up and take back what is rightfully OURS!
14. Outlaw Abortuaries in the City of Akron, Ohio
I ask that justice be done for unborn children that are being aborted in the city of Akron, Ohio. Abortion is murder. This is evidenced by ultra sound images that show a living child in the womb.
We are killing off our next generation but it does not end there. We also will not have the generations that would have come from these babies had they not been murdered. We will never know how these babies would have turned out or what accomplishments they could have made.
The very act of abortion leaves many women with serious depression problems for the rest of their lives.
It also sometimes has physical consequences. Medical research has connected breast cancer as a side of effect of abortion that sometimes occurs and so also is permanent sterility.
15. Stop Killing Girl Foetuses
Indian girl Infanticide-Female Fetocide: 1 million girls killed before or after birth per year.
Abortion, Female Infanticide, Foeticide, Son preference in India. India’s female to male ratio is 100 males to 93 females compared to a world average of 100 males to 105 females.
The main reason for the widespread female foeticide and the continuing prevalence of female infanticide in parts of India was the dowry system, which although long prohibited by law, continues to play a significant role in Indian society. Dowries and wedding expenses regularly run to more than a million rupees ($35,000) in a country where the average civil servant earns about 100,000 rupees ($3,500) a year.
Added to this the low status of women in rural India, where they perform the menial tasks of the family such as carrying water and firewood and seeing to feeding the animals, and it is clear where the roots of the discrimination spring.
16. Stop Forcing Taxpayers to Subsidise Abortions
The Department of Health gives abortion clinic Marie Stopes £30 million per year.
In addition, the UK Foreign aid budget has given Marie Stopes International nearly a million pounds per year to perform abortions in the Third World.
This abuse of taxpayers' money must stop now.
As the host country of the G8 Summit on June 25/26, 2010 in Huntsville Ontario, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his governing Conservative Party of Canada have chosen to champion an initiative to improve maternal and child health in developing countries.
However, this admirable initiative has become deeply mired in the Conservatives’ anti-choice ideology. The government announced on April 26 that they will not fund safe abortion services “under any circumstances” in developing countries. Although they were forced to back down from their earlier position that family planning and contraception would also be excluded from the initiative, there is still no firm commitment to fund family planning – only a vague promise to “consider” it, and to “not close doors against any options, including contraception.”
Please sign the following petition to call upon Parliament to include funding for safe abortion and family planning/contraception in Canada’s G8 maternal/child health initiative.
------------------------------------------
Incluez le financement du planning familial et d’avortements sans risques dans l’Initiative canadienne du G8 pour la santé des mères et des enfants:
À titre de pays-hôte du Sommet du G8, les 25 et 26 juin 2010 à Huntsville (Ontario), le premier ministre Stephen Harper et son Parti conservateur du Canada au pouvoir ont choisi de faire du Canada le champion d’une initiative visant à améliorer la santé des mères et des enfants dans les pays en voie de développement.
Toutefois, cette initiative admirable se retrouve profondément enlisée dans l’idéologie anti-choix des Conservateurs. Le gouvernement a annoncé le 26 avril qu’il ne financerait « sous aucune considération » la prestation de services d’avortement sans risques dans les pays en voie de développement. Même s’ils ont été forcés de faire marche arrière en regard de leur position préalable visant à exclure également de l’Initiative le planning familial et la contraception, il n’existe pas encore d’engagement ferme du Canada de financer le planning familial – seulement une vague promesse de « l’envisager » et de « ne fermer la porte à aucune option, y compris la contraception ».
Veuillez signer la pétition suivante qui réclame du Parlement le financement d’avortements sans risques, du planning familial et de la contraception dans l’Initiative canadienne du G8 pour la santé des mères et des enfants.
Oi, MTV! Play Amanda Palmer's Oasis vid on your channel! And you, too, NME! And Q! Don't be such babies!
Amanda sez:
my label in the UK has been gearing up to promote “oasis” as a radio and video single.
a few days before i left for london i got this email from someone at roadrunner:
”Hi Emily/Amanda,
Hope you are both well,
I just thought I’d let you know that we have been met by fierce opposition on the Oasis track.
Which is disheartening, as combined with the video, we all felt it was a great promotional tool and track.
All our TV outlets have refused to play the video due to it “making light of rape, religion and abortion”. This is the audio as well as visual.
Many of the stations like the track, and even the video but are bound by strict broadcasting rules. I personally find this quite ridiculous.”
dude.
wasn’t this the UK, land of black humor blacker than blackest black itself?
i emailed back and asked which outlets. the reply:
”NME tv, Scuzz, kerrang, MTV, Q, the box … to name a few. There is only a few networks: bauer, chartshow and MTV. They control all stations and they all had the same issue….”
and i sat there thinking, wow. here we go again.
why can’t ANYTHING just be effing EASY this year?
it isn’t a simple issue, obviously. but the fundamentals seem clear to me.
i sat down one day in or around 2002 and wrote a tongue-in-cheek, ironic up-tempo pop song.
a song about a girl who got drunk, was date raped, and had an abortion.
she sings about these things lightly and joyfully and says that she doesn’t care that these things have happened to her because oasis, (her favorite band) has sent her an autographed photo in the mail. and to make things even better (!!), her bitchy friend melissa, who told the whole school about the abortion, is really jealous.
....if you cannot sense the irony in this song, you’re about two intelligence points above a kumquat."
19. PAFF (People Against Female Feticide)
Female Feticide is the act of killing a female fetus. A fetus is an unborn child within a womb of a mother. This is also called "child destruction".
Female Feticide is done because the parents do not want a duaghter. A daughter is considered worthless, useless, and very costly.
Sex-selective abortions were rare before the late 20th century, becasue of the diffuculty of determining the sex of the fetus before birth, but ultra sound has made such selection easier.
It is estimated that a killing of a female fetus occurs every 93 mins.
In Punjab, India about 130 aborted fuetuses are discovered every month. They are usually discovered in jars, hidden amongest the trees or bushes.
During a Miss India contest in 2008, one of the contestants was asked her opinon on female feticide, she responded by saying "I think it is the fastest method of reducing the indian population. I think that female feticide will bring goodness to India to reduce dust, pollution, and corruption in the future".
In the Guru Granthe Shiab (the Sikh Holy book) it is written "We are born of women. We are conceived in the womb of women. We are engaged and married to women. We make friendship with women and the lineage contined because of women. When one women dies, we take another one. We are bound the world through women. Why should we talk ill of her, who gives birth to kings? The man is born from women: there is none without her."
Abortion is purposely taking the life of an unborn fetus. Abortion can lead to medical problems and anxiety problems.
We all have rights at the point of conception. When you choose to terminate the life of a human being, it is murder.
There is no faith or ideology that justifies this murderous and heinous act.
People do not understand that abortion leads to severe medical conditions. It is not a woman's choice to decide the life and death of another person.
21. End Abortion, Overturn Roe vs Wade
Murder is morally and legally wrong. An unborn child should be afforded the same rights we all enjoy. The Bible warns against harming any child.
The word "abortion" is just a synonym to soften the impact of the word "murder" which is exactly what it is. Abortion equals forcefully killing an innocent child.
22. Stop abortion and save lives
Abortion. It is a cruel thing to do. Why? Because ever TWENTY TWO seconds a child, a child with no say whatsoever, is killed. Murdered. Murder in the first degree. Every thing about this just irks me. It is grossly unjust.
23. Stop Abortion! Make it Illegal
A fetus can feel pain, has a beating heart. Over 4,000 women in the U.S.A get an abortion every day. This NEEDS TO STOP!
When someone gets an abortion, they break the baby into pieces and suck it down a tube, or if the fetus is small enough, suck it down the tube whole, sometimes with a still beating heart.
Is this right?
24. Decriminalise Abortion in Queensland
Abortion is still a crime in Queensland, entrenched within the Criminal Code in laws written in 1899. State governments have ignored several recommendations from various bodies to clarify or repeal these laws.
Under the archaic legislation, women face up to seven years in jail for accessing a pregnancy termination, and doctors 14 years for providing them, unless it is performed to preserve the physical or mental health of the woman.
Politicians have assured Queenslanders for many years that there was no need to change the law, as nobody would be charged under it. However, in April this year, a young couple in Cairns were charged after allegedly using an abortifacient drug to end a pregnancy. They are facing jail time if convicted.
This couple has been targeted directly under the sections pertaining to abortion in the Criminal Code, and are being tried for making the same decision women and their partners make every day - to terminate a pregnancy. Around 14,000 abortions are performed in Queensland every year, with statistics estimating that up to one in three women will choose abortion during their lifetime.
The laws under which this couple have been charged effectively criminalise not only those women who choose abortion, but the doctors who provide the procedure as well. Since these charges were laid, doctors offering medical abortions have ceased to do so for fear they and their patients will be similarly targeted - an understandable decision, but one that has acted to further restrict the availability of abortion in Queensland, particularly to women in rural or regional areas or those suffering financial disadvantage. Currently, outside the southeast corner of the state there are only three regional centres with private clinics offering abortion to Queensland women - regional women face large travel and accomodation costs on top of the increased out of pocket costs for the procedure itself, which can sometimes make it prohibitively expensive. The upfront out of pocket costs for a termination outside the southeast currently sits at a minimum of $550, and is up to $820 in some regions. This is simply beyond the reach of some women.
Public opinion consistently shows support for abortion decriminalisation to be around 80%. Independent polling performed by Auspoll in May 2009 found that 79% of Queenslanders want the law changed so abortion is no longer a crime. This figure echoes Queensland and nation-wide data.
Queensland Parliament cannot continue to avoid this issue. A failure to act is taking a stance by default - it is effectively saying that the Parliament believes every woman who has had or will have an abortion is a criminal. Tell them you do not agree. The decision about abortion needs to be put where it belongs - in the hands of women and doctors, not politicians and police. Abortion law reform is urgent! Queensland women have waited long enough.
25. Support the Indiana Personhood Amendment
There is scientific proof, that from the moment of conception, the fertilized egg has all the genetic information needed for life. The species of the fertilized egg does not change, so that if it’s a human being it is a complete human being from fertilization.
The only change this human being undergoes is the stages of development or physical appearances; since, all human beings are in some stage of development, it is not enough to challenge a human being’s personhood.
Therefore, all human beings should be granted the rights, freedoms and protections of personhood, regardless of their developmental stage.
26. Abortion: Against the Current Policy
The current abortion policy states that a woman can abort her baby within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. However, by this time the baby is already able to perform bodily functions and is on its way to becoming a developed human being.
We would like to amend this policy to only allow abortions to be performed within the first eight weeks of pregnancy.
27. Reform the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development & Peace
Development & Peace (www.devp.org) is the international development arm of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (www.cccb.ca).
Having a very long history of questionable activities, D&P has continued its controversial alliances and partnerships with groups whose anti-life beliefs are at complete odds with those of the Catholic faith. Now, substantial and credible evidence has been recently collected which directly implicates D&P in funding groups who advocate openly for abortion and other anti-family agendas.
You can read it about it here.

28. Support Stem Cell Research!!!
Stem cell research is a very promising thing. Especially embryonic stem cells :) Stem cells have endless possibilities and have amazing potential in this world. They have the ability to divide infinitely. They are "blank" cells that can transform themselves into any type of body cell. They have the potential to treat and cure every disease and condition. The only thing stopping this is the stupid controversy which is totally pointless.
People who are against stem cell research are usually against abortion. They think that embryonic stem cell research is morally wrong because it's "killing a baby" (said in a mocking voice) It's far from it. The embryos they use are already in storage for in-vitro fertilization. If not used for stem cell research, they await deep freeze or death anyway. And it's NOT a BABY!!! It's a few dozen cells, maybe less. It isn't conscious, and it doesn't even have the ability to think or feel pain or love.
People are making it seem like the equivalent of slaughtering a small child or baby. The embryo isn't a BABY! It's not even a fetus yet for crying out loud. The thing is MICROSCOPIC and is farther away from being human-like than an insect. Jeez. So people who think it's "killing a baby" need to step aside and let people who realize the full potential and harmless nature of stem cell research go on and experiment with it.
29. Fight FOCA
FOCA Would Wipe Away Every Restriction on Abortion Nationwide
• FOCA will do away with state laws on parental involvement, on partial birth abortion, and on all other protections.
• FOCA will compel taxpayer funding of abortions.
• FOCA will force faith-based hospitals and health care facilities to perform abortions.
This would eradicate state and federal laws that the majority of Americans support, such as:
• Bans on Partial Birth Abortion
• Requirements that women be given information about the risks of getting an abortion
• Only licensed physicians can perform abortions
• Parents must be informed and give consent to their minor daughter's abortion
FOCA would erase these laws and prevent states from enacting similar protective measures in the future.
Barack Obama believes this legislation will "end the culture wars." To him, "ending the culture wars" means eradicating every state and federal law on abortion — laws that the majority of Americans support.
STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE. FIGHT FOCA, FIGHT FOR GOD!
30. Continue Ban On Stem Cell Research
This petition is against President Barrack H. Obama's promise to lift the ban on Embryonic Stem Cell Research (hESCR.) Note: hESCR is NOT illegal. But it does, however, have restrictions that prevent clinics to use and destroy large amounts of embryos for the benefit of medical science.
But now, Obama wants to lift these restrictions so that we can find new cures for diseases. However, while it may seem as a great success, it's killing thousands of embryos within the first couple of days of conception.
