Abortion Statistics - Demographics
Age - The majority of women getting an abortion are young. 52% are younger than 25 years old and 19% are teenagers. The abortion rate is highest for those women aged 18 to 19 (56 per 1,000 in 1992.)

Why would someone CHOOSE to terminate their flesh & blood?
25.5% of women deciding to have an abortion want to postpone childbearing.
21.3% of women cannot afford a baby.
14.1% of women have a relationship issue or their partner does not want a child.
12.2% of women are too young (their parents or others object to the pregnancy.)
10.8% of women feel a child will disrupt their education or career.
7.9% of women want no (more) children.
3.3% of women have an abortion due to a risk to fetal health.
2.8% of women have an abortion due to a risk to maternal health.
Overall worldwide, their has been at least anywhere from 36 to 53 MILLION abortions… & these are the ones reported, more are done on the black market & are not recorded…. People who support PRO-Choice or the right to CHOOSE to kill a unborn child, do so because they feel that certain situations call for it…
1) Mother’s health is at high risk
2) Rape or incest
3) Abnormalities in child
ACTUAL STATISTICS ON WHY ABORTION IS DONE
1) Mother’s health is at high risk 3% of the time
2) Rape or incest 1% of the time
3) Abnormalities in child 1% of the time
Combined these ‘rights’ of the parents to abort, make up LESS than 5% of the ACTUAL reason taken by these people…
ABORTION IS NOTHING MORE THAN MURDER AS A MEANS OF BIRTH CONTROL…
Roe Vs Wade
"Jane Roe" (whose real name was Norma McCorvey) was a woman who challenged the criminal abortion laws in Texas. These laws forbade abortion except in cases where the mother's life was in danger; claiming they were unconstitutional. The conclusion held that a woman's right to an abortion falls within the right to privacy protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. THIS OPENED the door for a series of cases that eventually lead to the LEGALIZATION of MURDER… & the declaration that a child is alive ONLY after it is born, & doesn’t have rights until then…
Is this true? Islamically, all Life is precious & abortion is haraam, we know life beings the moment of conception through Quran of course & hadith….
MIRACLE OF LIFE
"O mankind! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then verily! We have created you (i.e. Adam) from dust, then from a Nutfah (mixed drops of male and female sexual discharge i.e. offspring of Adam), then from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood) then from a little lump of flesh, some formed and some unformed, that We may make (it) clear to you (i.e. to show you Our Power and Ability to do what We will). And We cause whom We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed term, then We bring you out as infants, then (give you growth) that you may reach your age of full strength. And among you there is he who dies (young), and among you there is he who is brought back to the miserable old age, so that he knows nothing after having known. And you see the earth barren, but when We send down water (rain) on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells and puts forth every lovely kind (of growth)." 22:5
...Mixture of Male & Female NUFTAH...
...Created from a drop...
"Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists), has created man from a mere clot congenial blood)." 96:1-2
 
...Drop to Clot..
"Was he not a Nutfah (mixed male and female discharge of semen) poured forth? Then he became an Alaqa (a leeching-clot); then (Allah) shaped and fashioned (him) in due proportion. And made him in two sexes, male and female. Is not He (Allah Who does that), Able to give life to the dead?" 75:37-39
...Shaped & fashioned in due proportion...
...Within weeks we already have our own unique finger & footprints...
...Clot developing...
to
...Lump of flesh...
"And indeed We created man (Adam) out of an extract of clay (water and earth).
Thereafter We made him (the offspring of Adam) as a Nutfah (mixed drops of the male and female sexual discharge) (and lodged it) in a safe lodging (womb of the woman). Then We made the Nutfah into a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood), then We made the clot into a little lump of flesh, then We made out of that little lump of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, and then We brought it forth as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators." 23:12-14
...Thre veils of darknesss...
...anterior abdominal wall of the mother...
...the uterine wall (fleshy substance supporting the embyro)...
...the amnio-chronic membrane (clear 'bubble')...
...Inside the Womb...
"He created you (all) from a single person (Adam); then made from him his wife (Hawwa (Eve)). And He has sent down for you of cattle eight pairs (of the sheep, two, male and female; of the goats, two, male and female; of the oxen, two, male and female; and of the camels, two, male and female). He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation in three veils of darkness, such is Allah your Lord. His is the kingdom, La ilaha illAllah (none has the right to be worshipped but He). How then are you turned away?" 39: 6
...Created from the wombs of Our Mothers...
"And that He (Allah) creates the pairs, male and female, from Nutfah (drops of fluid male and female) when it is emitted;" 53: 45-46
...Male & female gametes...
Abortion is the 'termination' of an unwanted child... Legally the child is not born, so one is able to destroy it's Life...
HOW can you KILL something that isn't technically alive?
You must be alive to die, these children are therefore living
...Islam brought this Message over 1400 years ago...
*
"That is He, the AllKnower of the unseen and the seen, the AllMighty, the Most Merciful. Who made everything He has created good, and He began the creation of man from clay. Then He made his offspring from semen of worthless water (male and female fluid)Then He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him the soul (created by Allah for that person), and He gave you hearing (ears), sight (eyes) and hearts. Little is the thanks you give!" 32:6-9
