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.

Pro-abortion politicians will give Planned Parenthood $1100 for every baby they abort in the U.S. this year. To win the battle against abortion, we need to a) defund Planned Parenthood and b) prevent future abortions through preventive education aimed at young people 13-30. That's when 80% of all abortions occur. Your gift can help change young hearts and minds about abortion before they happen. To help, just click on the donation button. Or mail your donation to: Movement for a Better America, PO Box 472, Mt. Freedom, NJ 07970.

1. 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. (Regularly $10 plus shipping.)

6. Dennis Howard's classic interview with the late John Cardinal O'Connor. Still as timely as the day it was done. This brilliant interview clearly delineates the growing public fear "from the kinds of laws legislators are capable of passing and of what people in the executive branches of government will do to get elected." O'Connor was not just a Cardinal, but a political scientist with a clear vision of where the culture of death is taking us as a people. It stands as a clarion call to all who honor the culture of life.
