Michigan Abortion Statistics

In August, the Michigan Department of Community Health released statistics on Michigan’s 2008 abortions. A total of 25,970 induced abortions were reported in Michigan in 2008, which was a 5.2 percent increase from the total of 24,683 reported in 2007. Abortions in Michigan, however, have dramatically decreased since 1987.

Educational Presentations

The Story of Right to Life

The Story of Right to life is a PowerPoint presentation for use in churches and group settings to educate about what it means to be prolife and the work of Right to Life groups.

This is a story about relationships. And, as such, it’s a story about us all. It’s as broad as the human journey, for it is woven into the fabric of our deepest issues. Human rights, preventing violence, child abuse and caring for the terminally ill are all spokes of the same wheel. And at the center of this wheel is the respect for human life.

Adult Stem Cell Downloadable Videos

"Adult Stem Cell Research: Making a Difference Today " is a 19-minute video which explains stem cell research using four human interest stories. This video would be a great opener for a Sunday School Class, Bible Study, or meeting on current events. Unfortunately, stem cell research is grossly misrepresented in the media, but this video is an excellent educational piece and will aid people when hearing about stem cell research or talking with others about this important topic.

"The Science of Stem Cells: Finding Cures and Protecting Life" includes testimonials from and interviews with patient advocates, prominent scientists and stem cell researchers urging support for adult stem cell research, a nurse and bioethicist who addresses the effects of egg extraction and human cloning on women, and a priest and bioethicist who addresses embryonic and adult stem cell research from a moral and theological perspective.
