South Dakota Ultrasound Law Will Save Babies' Lives, Spare Women Torment Say 'Silent No More' Leaders
STATEN ISLAND, NY, March 14 /Christian Newswire/ -- Leaders of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, the world's largest network of women and men harmed by abortion, today praised South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds for signing into law a measure requiring doctors to offer women the chance to view ultrasound images of their unborn babies prior to performing abortions.
"Two of the most heartbreaking words I hear from post-abortive women are, 'If only...,'" said Janet Morana, Co-Founder of SNMAC. "If only they had known, if only they had understood, if only they had seen. This law will give to women who want it the opportunity to see what their children look like before it's too late. Not only will it save babies' lives, it will spare women years of torment."
"With this law, South Dakota offers women visual information that speaks volumes about the humanity of the child in the womb," added Georgette Forney, another Co-Founder of SNMAC. "Basically, it gives women the chance to see the truth, which is why the abortion industry opposes laws of this type. More truth means fewer abortions. I'm grateful that the Governor and South Dakota legislature stood up for women and their children."
Since the launching of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign in 2003, 2,326 women and men have shared their testimonies publicly at 189 gatherings in 44 states and six countries where more than 15,000 spectators have heard the truth about abortion's negative aftereffects. More than 4,100 people are registered to be Silent No More. Raising awareness about the hurtful aftermath of abortion and the help that is available to cope with the pain are two of the Campaign's goals.
The Silent No More Awareness Campaign is a joint project of Anglicans for Life and Priests for Life. For more information, please visit our website: www.SilentNoMoreAwareness.org

Have your say on cutting crime
Have your say on cutting crime
LONDON. March, 13, 2008/3mnewswire.org/-- Hundreds of community activists are assembling in Manchester today to share their ideas on tackling crime in the city, as the Government calls for ordinary members of the public to have their say in a major review of crime and communities.
Manchester is one of three cities specially chosen as part of a series of interactive public events which will contribute to a wider dialogue with the public on how to cut crime and make neighbourhoods feel safer. Anyone who wants to contribute their views can log on to the Cabinet Office website or send in their views by post.
The call for information forms part of the Crime and Communities Review, a cross-government exercise looking at how the police and other front-line agencies can improve their services by working more closely with local communities.
It covers four main areas:
* How the police and other agencies can work with communities to reduce crime;
* How to raise public confidence in crime fighting organisations;
* How best to police local neighbourhoods;
* How to ensure the justice system has the public's full support by being open and responsive.
Louise Casey, who is leading the review, said:
"Nobody knows more about the needs of an area than the people who live there, which is why I want to find out what the residents of Manchester think about tackling crime in their community.
"This call for evidence gives people the opportunity to have their voices heard at the top levels of government.
"By listening to local communities we can understand what matters most to them, helping more people work with the police and others to stand up against crime and anti-social behaviour in their neighbourhoods."
The Review Team is expected to report back by June to a new Ministerial group comprising the Home Secretary, the Secretary of State for Justice, the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, the Attorney General and the Minister for the Cabinet Office.
