   QUICK FACTS
- Heart begins to beat around 22 days from conception
- There have been more than 40 million abortions since 1973.

- Women have cited 'social reasons’, not mother's health or rape/incest as their motivation in approximately 93% of all abortions.

-  A June 1999 Wirthlin poll found that 62% of Americans support legal abortion in only three or fewer circumstances:  when the pregnancy results from rape or incest or when it threatens the life of the mother.

An integral role of VSHL is to promote pro-life legislation that protects the sanctity of human life from conception until natural death. The VSHL state office frequently sends ACTION ALERTS to members during the General Assembly.

How can you help?

- Know who your representatives are and keep their contact information on hand. Contact them as directed by our alerts. Thank them when they support our life issues.

- Get to know the issues, well. Be able to hold discussions about why we support specific pro-life bills or why we oppose them.

- Come down to the General Assembly when in session and support our pro-life bills. Your presence does count!
