STERLING, VA – A coalition of national pregnancy center organizations responded Friday to new legislation introduced by Rep. Carolyn Maloney (NY) to “direct the Federal Trade Commission to prescribe rules prohibiting fraudulent advertising of abortion services.” The coalition, including Care Net, Heartbeat International, and National Institute of Family Life Advocates (NIFLA), called the legislation an “old, recycled” attempt to attack pregnancy centers which help women find alternatives to abortion.

Elevated  Risk  of  Death,  Including  High  Risk  of  Suicide
Compared to women who give birth, women who abort have an elevated risk of death from all causes, which persists for at least eight years. Higher risk of death from suicide and accidents were most prominent. Projected on the national population, this effect may contribute to 2,000 - 5,000 more deaths among women each year.1
