Rochester Area Right To Life |
There are many, many pro-life Web sites offering different information and opinions. We have selected some which we think are particularly informative, have beautiful inspirational graphics, offer interesting viewpoints, or which for some other reason are thought-worthy. We have, of course, no control over their content or method of presentation. Our selection cannot possibly substitute for your thought-filled consideration of the material in each site.
Be Not Afraid. (www.benotafraid.net) Its by and for parents who have received a "poor prenatal diagnosis." That means the parents have been told that the unborn baby has a serious health problem, in some cases even signifying the death of the infant within hours of birth. How love can triumph over panic and expedience.
Living with Trisomy 13 http://www.livingwithtrisomy13.org/ . This website is for parents whose "poor prenatal diagnosis" was trisomy 13. It's a wonderful, hope-filled site for parents who have simply been told that their unborn child's condition was "hopeless."
Science for Unborn Human Life,
www.sfuhl.org
. According to the webmaster, this site contains 489 scientific facts about the
rapid development of the unborn child's body, as well as facts about prenatal movement,
sensations, and learning.

AbortionTV (www.AbortionTV.com) Neat, well organized. Their definition of pro-choice: "We think the victim (baby) should choose whether to live or die.

women who are being pressured into unwanted abortions
women who have been distressed after, or injured by, an abortion
anyone who is under the illusion that women always freely choose
abortions
anyone who thinks that abortion is always emotionally benign

were not really wanted by the pregnant woman. However, it has a wealth of useful
information about abortion.

You can have a child's name inscribed in a "Book of Life" that rests between statues of the Holy Family. People come to pray for the children all day long, and a Mass is offered once a month in honor of the children. What a lovely thought!

Association for Interdisciplinary Research in Values and Social Change (www.abortionresearch.com) This is an association of pro-life professionals including counselors, therapists, professors, psychologists, psychiatrists, researchers, and lawyers for mutual sharing of knowledge and experience.

Pro-Life Views, an About.com GuideSite (http://prolife.about.com) A site that belongs to the MiningCompany, this is a highly maintained collection of information, with forums where you can make your opinions known. It's also worth noting that they have a pro-choice site available where you might want to put your opinions, also. But note that wherever you go, the ideas you communicate should be persuasive, not offensive. We want to convince people, not turn them away.
Choices Medical Clinic (www.choicesmc.org) They say, "For a long time, Wichita has had a doctor specializing in killing babies through the violence of abortion.

Here's what the founder and author of the first essay on this site said: "I attempt to answer the questions: Why has the tragedy of abortion happened in our time and what can we do to stop it? With this essay, I hope to encourage our pro-life side. I also hope to change some who are straddling the fence on this issue. I am a CPA from Houston. In January, my pastor spoke a few words about abortion on Sanctity of Life Sunday. This inspired me write this essay. I actually wrote it during my lunch hours over the next month and a half.
