September 20, 2006 Canada Press reports: “A Maine couple accused of tying up their 19-year-old daughter, throwing her in their car and driving her out of state to get an abortion were upset because the baby's father is black, and a Maine sheriff said Tuesday.”

Human Life International - the world’s largest pro-life, pro-family civil rights organization with over 90 affiliates in 75 countries around the world documents the violence against women and children perpetuated by the pro-choice movement’s rhetoric. HLI’s new web resource chronicles over 7,000 acts of violence and illegal activities by those who support or practice abortion: prochoiceviolence.com.

“In the past two weeks the mainstream media has reported numerous acts of violence against pregnant women and their children both born and preborn. Over thirty years of pro-choice rhetoric has undermined the dignity of all life but pregnant women and their children are most at risk from pro-choice violence,” stated Brian Clowes, Ph D., senior analyst for HLI.

“The recent news coverage of violence against pregnant women and their children by abortionist’s and their pro-choice supporters underscores the dangers women are exposed to by pro-choice rhetoric,” stated Brian Clowes. “Prochoiceviolence.com will continue to shine a light on abortionists and their supporters. Acts of violence against women and children committed in the name of ‘choice’ are updated daily at prochoiceviolence.com.”
