In our abortion-friendly culture, “pro-life” information tends to be suppressed. A great column in the Post today about how abortion harms maternal and infant health:

Why has Poland made such strides in improving both maternal and infant health? Certainly not by spending a lot of money on “reproductive health services,” to use the preferred euphemism. Poland is a poor country, much poorer than either Canada or its immediate European neighbours. The money simply isn’t there for any lavish program to improve maternal and infant health. The only change that could have produced such a dramatic improvement is the documented decline in the induced abortion rate.

This is one of those difficult situations where telling the truth strikes people as lies, because we’ve all believed a lie for so long. That lie being that abortion helps and protects women.
