Answers:

Our mission is to promote the health of babies by preventing birth defect, premature birth, and infant mortality. We carry out this mission through research, community services, lessons and advocacy to save babies' lives. March of Dimes researchers, volunteers, educator, outreach workers and advocates work together to contribute all babies a warfare chance against the threats to their strength: prematurity, birth defects, low birthweight. (From their website)

It doesn't seem to be like they enjoy a stance on abortion. I think some member could be pro-choice and others anti-abortion, but nothing I've see touches on right to have an abortion. As for the previous answer, you own to watch out for pro-liar crap. It seem like the pageant of dimes people do this whether anti-abortion or not, they don't give the impression of being to promote ignorance.

I havent had sex surrounded by a month! My boyfriend is away for a year, will this feeling simmer down??

MARCH OF DIMES

March of Dimes Ignores Abortion-Premature Birth Link

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The March of Dimes, an group that prides itself on working to eliminate handicaps surrounded by children, is ignoring the connection between abortion and premature
births, according to the Elliot Institute, which researches the physical and psychological effects of abortion. The pro-life organization accuse the March of Dimes of trying to cover up the fact that women who hold had abortions have need of to be especially vigilant in delivery adequate prenatal effort in subsequent pregnancies.

The March of Dimes have removed information from its website about the risk of premature birth following abortion. Previously, the website have included a statement that women with a history of three or more miscarriages or abortions may be at better risk of premature delivery. In actuality, the risk of premature birth increases after individual one induced abortion, according to the
Elliot Institute.

David Reardon, the director of the Elliot Institute says at smallest 50 published studies have shown significantly better risk of premature birth and low birth weight delivery among women with
a history of abortion. One of the best, a Danish record base study, found the risk doubled after just one abortion. Multiple abortions increase the risk even more. Reardon say a doubling of
risk among an estimated one-fourth of delivering women who hold a prior history of abortion would result in a 25 percent rise overall.

Rather than shifting the website to include the more accurate information, the March of Dimes eliminated mention of the risk entirely.

"Has it (March of Dimes) updated its website and literature to better prepare American couples to receive passable prenatal care to avoid premature births when here is a history of induced
abortion?" Reardon asks. "No. March of Dimes has instead fixed it must try even harder to cover up the abortion link to neonatal death and handicaps by removing even the vastly understated risk of premature birth after three or four abortions from their website!"

Officially, the March of Dimes maintain a neutral stance on abortion. Nevertheless, pro-life groups such as the Life Issues Institute hold encouraged a boycott of the mechanism, noting
that the March of Dimes appears to take positions that can be construed as anti-life.

For instance, a March of Dimes booklet offer no statement condemning abortion as an unacceptable "solution" to the problem of birth defect. Rather, the booklet includes this comment: "When a birth defect is diagnosed, genetic counselors provide touching support and understanding during what can be a especially difficult time. If there are decision to be made--about the pregnancy, the care of a child, have more children, or about the resources of the family to cope beside ongoing problems--the parents can make more informed choices beside the facts in foot."

In fact, MOD have also given grants to research on genetic problems that might cheer up doctors to suggest abortions.

Abortionist Maurice Mahoney received $35,000 for research on chorionic villi sampling and for developing a prenatal diagnostic technique which would permit the first-trimester Abortion of artificial unborn children. From 1989 to 1990, MOD gave $50,000 to Dr. Haig H. Kazazian of Johns Hopkins University, a staunch propose of eugenic abortion, to perfect methods to detect, hasty in pregnancy, disorders such as Beta-Thalassemia, Hemophilia A, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and Cystic Fibrosis -- none of which is treatable contained by the womb.

In addition, March of Dimes policy states that the business "supports the use of fetal tissue research as one technique to broaden understanding of human biology and pregnancy outcome."

While the March of Dimes does state that it supports federal policy on fetal tissue transplantation, "beside its safeguards against swearing or incentives for abortion," pro-life groups point out that such fetal tissue research will inevitably encourage abortion.

MOD have, in reality, funded fetal experimentation and fetal tissue use for more than two decades. In the early 1970s, MOD give $19,000 to Dr. John F. S. Crocker of Dalhousie University in
Halifax, Nova Scotia, to study congenital kidney abnormalities. This study involved "60 pairs of embryonic kidneys ... obtain from human therapeutic abortions after five to twelve weeks
gestation."

The March of Dimes have also had pro-abortion advocate in direction positions.

Henry Foster, who was rejected by the Senate as President Clinton's nominee for Surgeon General, served on MOD's Medical Service Advisory Committee. While on the committee, Foster
admit doing nearly 700 abortions following the results of amniocentesis.

Foster also defended fetoscopic prenatal research as "clearly therapeutic" since "it was done for duplicate reasons that we do amniocentesis, to opt whether or not the pregnancy should
continue, and to provide a beneficial abortion."

DO ineed to use a larger tampon if the blood still comes out after i insert it?

Back in the1950s the March of Dimes was to help out those affected by Infantile Paralysis (Polio). Nothing around abortions in those days.
