School Presentations
- Abortion Procedures and Risks
(45 or 90 minutes)
(We recommend that you have the Human Development presentation prior to this one.)There may be students attending who have experienced an abortion or know of someone who has had an abortion. National statistics tell us 1 out of 4 women have experienced an abortion. More than likely abortion has touched each student's life in some way. It is our purpose to inform students so they will know the facts and know there is help available.
