In 1973, abortion was legalized in the United States as a health service to a woman, should her pregnancy be life threatening. It was also legalized to halt child abuse and acts of rape and incest. Plus, abortion was legalized to reduce the number of teenage pregnancies and to prevent handicapped babies being born. Abortion has failed because child abuse has increased 1000 percent and many future, wanted babies, are born handicapped anyway, due to having an abortion. Instead, abortion has become a form of birth control and relief of financial responsibility.
The abortion industry, unlike hospitals, is not monitored or scrutinized by rules or regulations. They operate with a free hand, not having to answer to anyone. Often women are coerced into signing a release form relieving clinics and/ or an abortionist from all responsibilities.
Women have been duped into thinking that abortion is an easy procedure; that it is safe, with no adverse reactions. But the truth of the matter is the biological clock governs every phase of a woman's reproductive system. The biological clock in a pregnancy cannot be interrupted by a trauma, such as an abortion, without a malfunction. The abortion procedure may be over, but the pregnancy, technically, is not over; so what happens now? Abortion creates a malfunction in a woman's body, due to an unfinished pregnancy. This malfunction erupts as a complication physically, mentally or emotionally. There are over 100 complications that can occur, from a simple one to a major complication, and one that can last a lifetime.

In 20 years, what smoker will legitimately be able to claim that he or she didn't know cigarettes were harmful or addictive? And how shocked will a jury really be when it hears that a tobacco executive in the 1960s knew about the addictive nature of cigarettes? There's no real evidence that telling kids not to smoke really works. Indeed, studies have shown that it can often have the opposite effect. Children, by their very nature, love to defy authority, and spending millions on advertising to vilify the cigarette could ultimately serve to enhance its appeal. The cigarette is and will continue to be forbidden fruit. Even though the films of Hollywood's Golden Age once portrayed smoking as a normal activity, smoking no longer enjoys such popularity-and for good reason. An estimated 3.5 million people worldwide still die each year from smoking-related illnesses. Through the use of factoids and cartoons, author Gilbert M. Silva illustrates his belief that smokers are victims of what is essentially a ridiculous and deadly activity. the use of tobacco products are indisputable, and they deserve serious consideration. Your body will appreciate it, don't you think?'. This is certainly an important topic, and I want to congratulate you on an entertaining and well-produced book. - Diane Scott-Lichter, publishing director, the American Cancer Society.
