"The scientific evidence is now strong and compelling."
A new study published in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence refutes a long-standing contention that teenagers are better able to handle an abortion than dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. According to a report in LifeNews, the study finds that adolescent girls who have an abortion are five times more likely to seek help for psychological and emotional problems than those who keep their baby.
Dr. Priscilla Coleman, research psychologist at Bowling Green State University, is quoted as saying that teenagers who have abortions instead of carrying the pregnancy to term were also over three times more likely to report subsequent trouble sleeping, and nine times more likely to report subsequent marijuana use.
"The scientific evidence is now strong and compelling," Coleman said. "Abortion poses more risks to women than giving birth."
Dr. David Reardon, director of the Elliot Institute, said "Over the last six years, numerous studies have conclusively linked higher rates of mental illness and behavioral problems associated with abortion compared to childbirth.
But abortion advocates have generally dismissed these findings, insisting that while women who abort may fare worse than women who give birth to planned children, they may fare better than the important subgroup of women who carry unintended pregnancies to term. [This] study addresses this argument and shows that the facts don't support abortion advocates' speculations."

South Dakota Tribe Won't Allow Abortions on Indian Land:
May 31, 2006
The Oglala Sioux Indian Tribal Council voted to emulate South Dakota's abortio
n ban and forbid the procedure on tribal land. The council also voted to suspend tribal President Cecelia Fire Thunder, who announced plans to open an abortion clinic on the reservation in order to circumvent state law, Keloland.com reported. Tribal lands are sovereign and the state abortion ban would not apply.
Sioux tribal law, which respects the life of preborn babies, says 'a child conceived, but not born, is to be deemed an existing person so far as may be necessary for its interest and welfare to be protected in the event of its subsequent birth.'
Will Peters, a representative of the Oglala Tribal Council, said what Fire Thunder did amounts to unauthorized political activity.
Peters made a motion to suspend Fire Thunder for 20 days, until an impeachment hearing could occur. "

THE REBOOTING OF THE MIND!!!
The Cause is supporting the Pure Life Movement, out of Nashville, and joining them in calling for 21 days of cleansing of the eyes and heart of the Church. When Jehu rode to Jezebel's palace, she painted her eyes and looked out the window seeking one more time to seduce her way out of judgment. Our computer windows are filled with the seduction of Jezebel. Her magazines, her TV screens, her media all find her casting forth her destructive spell. We have tolerated Jezebel in our eyes, our hearts, and our families. It is time for window cleaning.
We are calling a 21-Day Turn Off of all media, newspapers, TV, and computers (except for necessary work), combined with 21 days of desperate prayer for the shaking of the pornographic industry in the nation.
We are inaugurating war with a view that within a few years we could have 3 million turning off their TVs and computers, praying and binding the principalities and powers that have taunted the army of the living God. This is the first strike.
Go to www.pureliferevolution.net for more information about how to join us in Nashville or right where you live. Click here to read more about the strategy behind this offensive strike.

VT Assisted Suicide Bill Fails
Many thanks to our friends at Vermont Right to Life Committee for this news release. This is a GREAT VICTORY against this spirit of death which has been on the doorstep of Vermont's Capital and knocking on the door to our Legislature.
The culture of death in our society has been inviting this spirit (established through abortions) to roost over our state... But in the name of Jesus, we withstand it and take away its right to roost over, or come into Vermont...both now and in the future...and it shall be turned back and have no more entrance into the 50 states!
Please continue to pray against abortion and that this spirit will not be able to rear its ugly head anymore in future legislative sessions! ~Glenn Taylor
On Wednesday, May 3, 2006 the Vermont Human Services Committee called for a committee vote on House Bill 168, the so-called Death With Dignity Bill that has been the focus of heated debate for the 2005 - 2006 legislative session. The vote was 5 to 5 with one member absent. The tie vote means that the Bill has failed to move forward and is dead for the year. The Vermont Right to Life Committee made defeat of House Bill 168 the top priority for the legislative session.Opponents of physician assisted suicide have worked tirelessly for the past two years to expose the dangers of passing H. 168 and, today, those efforts have been rewarded.
For nearly a decade, Oregon has been the only state to legalize assisted suicide in the US. For the past few years national euthanasia groups have looked to Vermont as the key to reviving their national effort. Those groups, working inconjunction with local suicide proponents, invested funds, hired top lobbying firms, employed a field director, released a public opinion poll, and held informational forums around Vermont. Yet, instead of victory in a Democratically controlled House and Senate, the bill was defeated in single committee.

Thank you for your prayers, phone calls, emails and support. VRLC could not have won this victory without each and every one of you!
