Abortion is the UnChoice
"The injustice of abortion –– often unwanted, under duress or based on false information presented as fact ... sometimes violently forced or due to significant, serious and often system-wide negligence –– is only intensified when experts, societal leaders, family and friends dismiss both pre-abortion injustices and post-abortion grief, injury and high rates of death ... including disturbingly high suicide rates that must be considered a national crisis." this site confronts the rhetoric of "Choice."

Insight
The times are semantically-challenging. For decades abortion
supporters have honed the art of equivocation. Sometimes the sleight-of-tongue
is as simple as substituting "product of conception" for preborn
child, or employing "choice" instead of abortion. A word like
abortion is, after all, a wellspring of negative connotations. Recently,
another euphemism for abortion has proved remarkably versatile: "pregnancy
termination." This site defines when Life does begin and provides
detailed information on the so-called morning after pill, i.e., a chemical
abortion.

Snowflakes Embryo Adoption Program
It is estimated that there are over 400,000 frozen embryos in cryo-banks in the United States. When embryos are created, life begins. When embryos are implanted and a woman becomes pregnant, the development continues until the birth of the child. When a family has been successful in having a child through in vitro fertilization, remaining embryos are often cryo-preserved. These are pre-born children waiting for a chance at life. This results in the question of what to do with the remaining embryos. These frozen embryos can be the hope of a child for an infertile couple. This frozen embryo adoption program has been named Snowflakes™ because embryos are unique and fragile, just like a snowflake.

No Harm

promises great good and is a worthy scientific priority as long as we

harming people in the process can be ethical. However, obtaining stem
cells from human embryos cannot be ethical because it necessarily involves
destroying those embryos.
