NRLC's Educational Tools Continue to Expand.(National Right to Life Committee online)(Statistical Data Included)(Bibliography)
With the new school year already in high gear, it's important to be on a first-name basis with the many educational tools NRLC has for use in the classroom. All can be purchased inexpensively. Although we will focus here on printed materials, National Right to Life has an award-winning web site -- www.nrlc.org -- from which teachers, students, and parents can obtain exceedingly helpful resources.
Among the favorites of the NRL Educational Trust Fund are a number of fact sheets, mostly one-page, two-sided sheets, that present a thoughtful, concise overview of one particular topic. (See ad, page 15.) Let me give you the highlights of these especially useful tools.
* First, we have a single-sided page, "Abortion Techniques," giving a quick description of the methods of abortion.
* For a quick primer, we offer "The Basics." This includes highlights of the milestones of fetal development, current statistics, the reasons women give for seeking abortion, and statistics on repeat abortions.
* "Abortion: Statistics and Trends" provides a yearly breakdown since 1973, along with an analysis of the overall decline in abortion numbers, rates, and ratios that has taken place in the years 1990-1997.
* For a provocative glimpse into the damage abortion has done to the American economy, we have "The Economic Impact of Abortion: What Do 40 Million Lost Lives Mean?" This fact sheet looks at the resulting shrinking labor force, the effect on future of Social Security and Medicare, and the high "cost" of tax-funded abortions.
* If the chemical abortion technique RU486 (see story, page 10) has not been on your pro-life "radar" in recent days, to refresh your memory, we have "RU486 - Risks and Dangers." This does an excellent job of helping the reader understand the real hazards this two-drug abortion technique poses to women (not to mention the lethal effects on the unborn child). There is also a lengthy "Question and Answer" section on RU486 on our web page, dealing with the history of the approval process, how the drug works, and a much more detailed discussion of side effects. See www. nrlc.org/Federal/RU486/ index.html for details.
