NOT ANOTHER DIME TO THE MARCH OF DIMES - SAY PRO-LIFERS

NEW YORK, March 14, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - As if the March of Dimes (MOD) support of eugenics and abortions in cases of fetal abnormality were not enough, pro-lifers now have an additional reason not to give money to the MOD. The Eliott Institute has pointed out that MOD has refused to admit that abortion is a major risk factor in low-birth weight of subsequent babies.

In announcing a major fund-raising effort, MOD claims a 27 percent rise in premature births "is a mystery." Yet, points out the Eliott Institute's Dr. David Reardon, the organization should know that at least 48 published studies have shown a history of abortion places women at significantly higher risk of premature birth and low-birth-weight.

"March of Dimes is exploiting the "mysterious" rise in dangerous pre-term deliveries to raise hundreds of millions of dollars while concealing one of the primary causes of premature birth -- a prior history of abortion," says Reardon in a release. He encourages the signing of a petition asking the MOD to admit the abortion link.
