academics to study impact of abortion on women

Here is a short item by Priscilla Coleman about a new group (WECARE; www.wecareexperts.org) that will study the impact of abortion on women.  http://www.lifenews.com/2012/01/30/academics-launch-group-to-research-how-abortion-affects-women/ Here is her description of the organization:

“WECARE is a 501c3 organization newly established to bring together credentialed scientists with a research program on the physical, psychological, and/or relational effects of abortion to engage in international research collaboration, scientific information dissemination, professional education, and legal consultation.  By adopting a non-religious, non-partisan approach to understanding the implications of abortion, WECARE exists to enhance the quality of information, develop strategies for effectively transmitting research findings, and to break down barriers to evidence-based medicine.”
