Not seen in our local fishwrap...
DALLAS, Texas, April 2, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Texas Governor Rick Perry has proclaimed April as Abortion Recovery Awareness Month. (This hasn't made the local news here. Gee, could there be a reason for that? Maybe the MSM is in the pocket of the culture of death? NAH!!)
In a statement released in late March, the governor stated, "Ending a pregnancy through abortion interrupts the natural birth process and creates significant trauma and stress for those involved in the pregnancy. (Could someone tell that to Planned Parenthood & NARAL?) An abortion is a tragic ending, not only because of the loss of a life, ( hey, he thinks theres a life involved and not just a bunch of cells!!) but also because of the physical and psychological trauma caused by the procedure itself. This often leads to lasting emotional and mental health problems for the mother, father and other involved family members. Peer-reviewed research has shown that women who obtain abortions are often plagued by feelings of anger, fear, sadness, anxiety, grief and guilt due to the procedure."
The statement continued, "Many organizations throughout the state are assisting the process of healing and recovery after abortion by promoting policies that reinforce a culture of life and hope. Abortion recovery programs offer invaluable services that help abortion's living victims to forgive and heal through individual counseling, support groups, encouragement and education."
"The month of April has been designated as a time to highlight and reflect on the traumatic effects of abortion. At this time, I urge all Texans to learn about the lasting ramifications of abortion and the support and counseling options available after an abortion. (How about alternative to abortion?) Together, we can make a difference."Organizations that assist in the process of healing after abortion include the Texas Abortion Recovery Alliance, Abortion Recovery InterNational, the National Helpline for Abortion Recovery, Operation Outcry and The Justice Foundation. (He doesn't mention Project Rachel, guess you can't have everything.)
In 2005, Abortion Recovery InterNational (ARIN) established April as Abortion Recovery Awareness Month. The two key purposes of the month are to: encourage and promote healing opportunities; enlighten society to the aftermath of abortion on individuals and families. (Maybe we'll even learn to stop killing the children, what a concept!)
The U.S. Supreme Court acknowledged in April 2007 that abortion causes "severe depression," "loss of esteem" in some women, Carhart v. Gonzalez. The Court referred to testimony of women hurt by abortion given to them in an Amicus Brief filed by The Justice Foundation representing Sandra Cano, the former "Doe" of Doe v. Bolton and 180 women.

way to go perry!!! finally someone with the guts to say this...........
One of my daughters had a miscarriage last year at about two months into her term.
Last week our oldest daughter told us she is pregnant with her fourth. My daughter who lost her baby got very... well, upset isn't the word as she is not envious. But she got very emotional. Very.
She still mourns that child.
God made men and woman a certain way - physically, spititually and mentally - in order to raise godly children. We are different in ways that we still do not understand completely. You cannot interfere with the birth process as it conflicts with our very nature and leaves scars that never heal properly.
Anonymous, maybe we'll see a lot more like him. Theres always hope.
Sig94, sorry about your daughter's loss. Lots of nincompoops think a miscarriage "doesn't count". They're full of shit.
