NARAL Pro-Choice America Foundation announced today that it is launching an innovative video-based online initiative designed to reach younger activists and recruit a new generation of young women and men into the pro-choice movement called Free.Will.Power. The site, MyFreeWillPower.com, will feature videos as well as other interactive ways for new activists to get involved with NARAL Pro-Choice America's work.

NARAL Pro-Choice America Foundation enlisted the creative minds of three young spokenword artists - Shira Erlichman, Alvin Lau, and Deja Taylor - as well as renowned musician, DJ Spooky, to produce three online viral videos that feature compelling words, visuals, and sound. The site also engages BlogforChoice, Twitter, MySpace, Txt4Choice, and Facebook - to engage and support pro-choice activists and causes.

    Its odd  that pro choice people are supposed to be in favor of choice for the rights of the mother, yet 90% of the time they advocate for abortion. If that is the case and that is the agenda provide the long life reprecussions of such procedures. There are many side effects that attack not only the body but also the mind. The mental side effects that are most common are depression, repression and denial, guilt, suicide, and post abortion psychosis. When a woman has an abortion, she risks infection, future childbearing problems and in some cases even death. However, should a woman die due to hemorrhaging during and after an abortion, many deaths are not reported. The widest known infection that can be contracted due to an abortion is Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, more commonly referred to as PID. This infection causes inflammation of the upper genital area, including reproductive organs, and normally enters the body through a perforation in the uterus or a laceration in the cervix.

    So informed of all the risk and let them know that this is not lipo where you can just get rid of an undesired lump in your body.
