This week our nation marks 41 years of legalized abortion
-- where unborn children are killed in every state in our country.
For most Americans, the 41st anniversary the Supreme
Court handed down its decision will be a day to mourn — a day to mourn the loss
of tens of millions of unborn children — sons and daughters, brothers and
sisters lost to a world that values choice over compassion. It will be a day to
mourn the damage abortion does to women — the medical problems, the mental health
issues, the damaging of relationships with friends and family, and the
destruction of relationships with God.
Since that fateful day in 1973, there have been an
estimated 56,662,169 abortions.
Each abortion is more than just a number -- it's a tiny baby
whose life was snuffed out and a mother injured in the process. Each abortion
is a father who will ever experience the joy of holding his baby, watching his
son play on the high school football team or watching his daughter graduate
from college.
If you run the math on those terrible figures, the
numbers are absolutely chilling:
- 1.382 million abortions every year
- 115,167 abortions every month
- 26,577 abortions every week
- 3,786 abortions every day
- 157 abortions every hour
- 2.6 abortions every minute
These numbers may break your heart but they have no
effect on the mainstream media, the Obama administration and Planned Parenthood
and its friends in the abortion industry worldwide. They don't want to be held
accountable for this travesty -- but LifeNews will.
Every day at LifeNews, we report pro-life news and carry
opinion and analysis columns that challenge the abortion mindset. LifeNews
exposes the abortion industry and we highlight moving stories that show a
respect for human life. For almost 22 years on the Internet, LifeNews has
spotlighted pro-life efforts large and small to change the law and change
hearts and minds.
Already this year, as LifeNews reported, two abortion
clinics have closed! Will you help us this year to expand that success and stop
those abortion numbers from climbing as fast?
Please support LifeNews today and help us continue to be
a voice for the voiceless!
