When discussing abortion, we must also understand that the unborn child is not the only victim; women themselves are victims just as the unborn children are. Women have not been told of the true nature of the unborn child; they have not been shown the true facts of what an abortion really is. Women, in increasing numbers—hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands—have had their wombs perforated, infected, destroyed; women have been sterilized and castrated; all as a result of an operation of which they have had no true knowledge.
