A Witness at the FPA Abortion Facility in L.B.

A Witness at the FPA Abortion Facility in L.B.
In pursuit of the truth - cinops be gone - Friday, Jan. 11, 2013

By Diane Caldera: The Knights of Columbus* at St. Irenaeus Church, Cypress, CA., have a weekly outreach to people going into or walking by the Family Planning Association (FPA) abortion mill on 2777 Long Beach Blvd. across from the Long Beach Memorial Hospital.

When I can go along with them, I take my shocking pink and white sign with me. www.AbortionBreastCancer.com When there is no foot traffic, I hold the sign up for cars traversing the street. When pedestrians approach, I show them my sign and ask if they would take some info.

Most are curious, wondering, “What does abortion have to do with breast cancer?” I hand them a little leaflet with the image of a 2 and one-half inch perfectly formed baby 12 weeks after conception. I ask them, “Does that look like a human being to you?” They always say, “Yes, of course.” Then I tell them that 4,000 babies like this one are getting sliced and diced everyday in America and have been since the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.

I add that abortion is not good for women either, because it causes breast cancer four ways (the leaflet refers to the above website for details on this.) It also predisposes women to premature birth of future “wanted” children - a tragedy for the child, who is at high risk for cerebral palsy, blindness, mental deficiency, and many other serious conditions, and for the mother, whose premature birth increases her risk again for breast cancer (ibid.)

People are shocked to learn that, contrary to the myth, abortion is far more dangerous than childbirth. (http://after abortion.org/2012/higher-death-rates-after-abortion-found-in-u-s-finland-and-denmark/)! And there is a scandalous cover up of these facts!
(http://www.you tube.com/watch?v=Dsmma0COO1E&feature=player embedded)

If they linger, I go on to explain that abortifacient birth control is also cancer-causing (AbortionBreastCancer.org, ibid), and that all American employers are now forced to pay for cancer-causing abortifacients: the pill, patch, shot, IUD, and ring, the Morning After Pill, RU486, and Ella (jhttp://www.bcinstitute.org/pill kills brochures.htm) through the nationalized insurance we just voted for in November.

They are forced even if it goes against their consciences to do so! So we start talking about the First Amendment right to freedom of conscience and of religion that America has always supported in the past. (at Valley Forge, Mennonites and Quakers were not coerced into taking up arms against the British, although our country’s situation was grim), so why coerce now?

There is also a legal case based on health arguments against mandatory contraceptives. http://www.lldf.org/in-the-public-square.brief-argues-mandatory-contraceptives-endanger-women-health/. To top it all, I tell them about the 2009 study that shows that women under 18 who take birth control pills are three to four times the risk for TNBC, Triple-Negative Breast Cancer, the most aggressive and hard-to-treat form of breast cancer associated with more deaths at younger ages.

http://breastcancer.about.com/b/2010/01/08/abortion-birth-control-pills.htm, and that teenagers less than age 18 who have abortions between 9 and 24 weeks have an 800% increased risk of breast cancer, or a relative risk of 9.0 (times more risk!!!), according to a National Cancer Institute-commissioned study, Daling et al. 1994. (www.AbortionBreastCancer.com, ibid.)

Most of the people I talk to are greatly interested to discover this information and accept the literature. Some ask about chastity resources, so I refer them to www.chastity.com. If they are interested, I also give them a Divine Mercy prayer card. Often they smile as they leave. I smile back.
