"I think that our whole country needs to have more love and compassion for all children. All life is valuable and a gift from God. Pregnancy is not something that "just happens."

And for people who can't conceive children, God may be asking you for an even more generous response -- to adopt and raise a child." - Kim Alexis, Supermodel

"It's not good for women to go through the procedure [abortion] and have something living sucked out of their bodies. It belittles women.

"Afro-American women have been victimized by the abortion industry for profit," Childress said. "Each day 1,452 Black infants are killed for profit and our pulpits and much of our current leadership are silent. Political alliances have caused us to 'sell out' our women and our children."  Rev. Clenard Childress, the director of LEARN, a black pro-life organization

PGD (pre-implantation genetic diagnosis) tests embryos created through in-vitro fertilization for genetic diseases before they are transferred back into the mother's uterus. It can be used to check for other genetically determined diseases such as sickle cell anemia and Huntington's disease, and chromosomal disorders such as Down syndrome. Many of these conditions can be diagnosed during pregnancy using tests such as amniocentesis, withdrawing fluid from the sac surrounding the fetus. That can leave couples with the difficult decision of whether to abort the fetus. Because PGD is done before the woman becomes pregnant, it eliminates the question of abortion. The procedure is controversial because some people believe it's wrong to weed out genetically defective embryos, and it can be used to select a child based on gender. - Baby Born After Genetic Screening of Eggs NewsMax.com Wires Thursday, July 8, 2004
