This is my sandbox it will be used to keep my notes for the article on the Abortion Rights page

National Abortion Federation says “A woman who chooses to have an abortion does so for many different reasons based on her individual circumstances. To understand abortion we must listen to these women- they are the faces of abortion.” (Quote) Christy Z. shares “The decision I made to have an abortion at almost 22 weeks was made out of love and to spare my son’s pain and suffering.”

“National Statistics on Child Abuse.” National Childrens Alliance, 2015, www.nationalchildrensalliance.org/media-room/nca-digital-media-kit/national-statistics-on-child-abuse/.

According to National Children’s Alliance “The youngest children were most vulnerable to maltreatment. Children in the first year of their life had the highest rate of victimization of 24.2 per 1,000 children in the national population of the same age. Neglect is the most common form of maltreatment. Of the children who experienced maltreatment or abuse, three-quarters suffered neglect; 17.2% suffered physical abuse; and 8.4% suffered sexual abuse. (Some children are polyvictimized—they have suffered more than one form of maltreatment.) About four out of five abusers are the victims’ parents. A parent of the child victim was the perpetrator in 78.1% of substantiated cases of child maltreatment.” (Statistic) Most abused children are abused by their own parents. When parents are overwhelmed with a child, physically, mentally or financially they tend to take it out on the child putting the child in danger sometimes even leading to death.
