We believe that honest information about both the development of the baby in the womb and the consequences of abortion for the woman is crucial to reducing the number of abortions. Babies in the womb are referred to in public discourse as "clumps of cells", and in medical terms as embryos and foetuses.

Many women end up having an abortion believing that there is no "real" baby in their womb yet. It is therefore very important that every person should know more about the development of the baby in the womb

For many women, facing the truth after an abortion is devastating. In this section, we have put together a concise summary of information about the growth of the baby in the womb, the consequences of abortion for the woman and how to have an abortion.

We deliberately use terms such as unborn child and baby in the womb. Embryo and foetus are medical terms that sometimes confuse you from remembering that it is a baby, a child - just still in the womb.
