Is abortion some kind of free lunch? Or does it have a hidden cost that we are simply afraid to examine? We regularly explore the hidden cost of many things -- absenteeism, drug addiction, drunken driving, even the common cold. Isn’t it time to challenge the high cost of abortion to us as a nation? Here in striking examples, a leading market researcher cites some hidden costs that should catch the attention of every concerned American.

Miss Teach: A Memoir Handwritten with Love. “Read this book and laugh and cry and wonder as I did.” So writes the late Winifred Fletcher in her touching foreword to Miss Teach, the heartwarming recollections of Anne I. Remis, a pioneer Rochester teacher in the field of education for children with disabilities.
In this touching memoir, Miss Remis shares the experience, strength and hope she found in the course of her 29-year career during that not-so-long-ago time when education for children with disabilities was in its infancy. It is an inspiring story for all who love children, and a marvelous example of the power of what one person can do who dedicates his or her life to the service of others. A wonderful gift of hope for parents of children with disabilities and a great way to say “Thank you” to a favorite teacher.
We are also encouraging gifts of copies of Miss Teach to libraries at colleges with education departments. Miss Teach covers a very important piece of history when education for the disabled was in its infancy.
All royalties from Miss Teach go to CP Rochester, a leading center for the care and education of children with disabilities, and any remaining profits help our work in educating people about disabilities as a life issue. Anne Remis, who will turn 92 in December, 2006, is now seriously ill, and your prayers are requested for her recovery.

The Abortion Bomb, An MBA Special Report by Dennis M. Howard. MBA founder connects the current economic malaise and the end of the secular bull market to the fundamental demographic trends that foreshadow an economic decline that threatens to be as serious as the Great Depression. He demonstrates convincingly how the current demographically-driven collapse in consumer demand parallels similar declines that led to the Depression of 1929-1938 and the Recession of 1974-1982.
