From the moment of conception, when the sperm joins with the ovum (egg) the genetic blueprint is all there - every detail of the child's sex, hair and eye colour, height and skin tone. Amazing! In 2007, 12,000 little ones were aborted in Alberta. Compared to just over 9,000 in 1993. Albertans paid between $6 and $8 million in 2007/08 compared to just over $4 million in 1993 to fund the Abortion Industry. More than 400 pro-life supporters stood their ground in Edmonton at the annual March for Life in 2009. In Ottawa, a similar march drew 12,000 people - and virtually no media coverage. Fewer than 5% of abortions are performed as medical emergencies because of serious health problems for women, according to the former president of Alberta Medical Association, Dr. Richard Kennedy. In 1988 Abortionist Dr. Henry Morgentaler, stated that less than one tenth of one per cent of abortions are done for serious health emergencies. About one-quarter of abortions are repeat procedures. Abortion has been linked to increased chances of breast cancer, infections, infertility, chronic pelvic pain and mental health issues.
