Attention Students and Teachers: Summer is (Almost) Over.(resources from the Educational Trust Fund)

As the summer wanes, it is time again for teachers and students to prepare for a new school year. The Educational Trust Fund stands ready to assist in any way it can. I would like to refresh your memory about some of the resources we have available and point out a very helpful new item we have.

Many of you may not be aware that we have an outstanding new resource. This is a new fetal development brochure titled a baby's first months. Not only is it beautiful and highly informative, a baby's first months fits nicely into a purse or pocket and can be easily distributed. (See page 13.)

This is our best tool for describing the wonders of fetal development in scientific detail with extensive footnotes. It includes full-color photos of the unborn child at various stages of development.

This is a "must have" for any student defending the pro-life cause or any teacher discussing human development in biology class. The booklet makes only brief references to abortion near the end, allowing the pictures and descriptions to speak for themselves.

The Trust Fund also has a number of fact sheets on various aspects of the abortion issue, and these are available for purchase on our web page. They can be viewed at www.nrlc.org/onlinebrochures/Downloadables/FactSheets.htm.

They discuss such topics as the activities of Planned Parenthood, the dangers of the two-drug abortion technique, RU 486, the disproportionate impact of abortion on minorities, abortion statistics, and the issue of fetal stem cell research. For those without Internet access, single hard copies are available on request. You are free to make as many copies as you need.

The fact sheets present a great deal of information in a compact format and can easily form the basis for essays, presentations, and classroom discussions. The range of topics they deal with makes them useful for classes in government, sociology, biology - - you name it. Check the web page - - www.nrlc.org - - frequently, as we are always striving to add new fact sheets to the list.
