We believe that compulsory pregnancy and forced motherhood are morally wrong...
In the 1950s about a million illegal abortions a year were performed in the U.S., and over a thousand women died each year as a result.

I'll add this, hopefully it's not too far off topic...
There was a movie called [color=gold]Our Time 1974.
Perhaps in an idealistic society PP could be separated from abortion shops and both could do their assigned task independently. What made them switch over to the dark side, I'm not sure.
Why is there such an interest in stem cells?
Researchers hope stem cell studies can help to:
Increase understanding of how diseases occur. By watching stem cells mature into cells that eventually become bones, heart muscle, nerve cells and other organs and tissue, researchers and doctors may better understand how a variety of diseases and conditions develop.
Generate healthy cells to replace diseased cells. Researchers hope they can train stem cells into becoming specific cells so that those specialized cells can be used to regenerate and repair diseased or damaged tissues in people. Stem cells could also be grown to become new tissue for use in transplant medicine.
Test new drugs for safety and effectiveness. Before using new drugs in people, researchers could use stem cells to test the safety and quality of investigational drugs. For instance, nerve cells could be generated in order to test a new drug for a nerve disease. Tests could show whether the new drug had any effect on the cells and whether the cells were harmed.
Embryonic stem cells. These stem cells come from embryos that are four to five days old. At this stage, an embryo is called a blastocyst and has about 150 cells. These are pluripotent (ploo-RIP-uh-tunt) stem cells, meaning they can divide into more stem cells or they can specialize and become any type of body cell. Because of this versatility, embryonic stem cells have the highest potential for use to regenerate or repair diseased tissue and organs in people.

I saw many, many cases of incest, women and girls who made mistakes, and people who otherwise would have been caused major hardship and heartache if they would have had to take care of babies.
