Since Roe v. Wade was approved into law in 1973, over 50 million babies have been aborted in the United States; that is a staggering number. In fact, 50 million babies are aborted world-wide each year. The U.S. ranks third in the number of abortions annually with 1.3 million. China leads with 11 million, followed by Russia with 6 million. It is an absolute abomination in the eyes of God; He grieves over each and every one of these wasted lives. These innocent babies were sacrificed because of inconvenience and selfishness.
The number of Americans killed in all our major wars is as follows:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_casualties_of_war
Revolutionary War……………………...25,000
War of 1812.……………………………20,000
Mexican War…………………………… 13,283
Civil War……………………………… .625,000
Spanish American War…………………..2,446
World War I…………………………… 116,516
World War II………………………….. .405,399
Korean War ……………………………..36,516
Vietnam War……………………………. 58,209
Persian Gulf War…………………………….299
War Against Terror………………………..4,850
Total………………………………......1,307,518
This 1.3 million death count in all our major wars since the founding of our nation is basically equal to the number of babies aborted in just one year in the United States. Please read these figures again and consider carefully the significance of what America has done to its young.
The following statistics come from the Movement for a Better America:
http://www.movementforabetteramerica.org/abortionindex.html
1) The ratio of abortions in the U.S. compared to American soldiers killed in Iraq is 1,750 to 1.
2) There is a 488% greater risk of suicide among women who have had abortions compared to those delivering a live baby.
3) There is a 100% increased risk of breast cancer among women who aborted one baby; it increases to 300% with two or more abortions.”
Approximately one-third of America’s younger generation is missing. They will never enter the work force, (think what 50 million extra workers would do to help solve our Social Security crisis), never marry, or have families of their own. Think of the potential that has been wasted. Perhaps one of these 50 million would have been the one to find a cure for cancer or AIDS or would have contributed greatly to society in some other way.
Why aren’t Americans more outraged? The same individuals fighting for abortion rights have protested against the death penalty for convicted murderers; have expressed outrage at Michael Vick for his harsh treatment of animals--an appalling act, but surely a human life should have more value than that of a dog; and fought against drilling for oil in ANWR because it may disturb the caribou and other Alaskan wildlife. We need to re-examine our priorities in this country because, based on our actions, human life apparently has very little value.
For those who have had an abortion, my intention is not to bring condemnation, but instead to inform as to the tragedy of abortion. It is an irreversible act that one must live with, and it is an act that many, many women sadly regret. However, the good news is that we have a merciful God that can forgive the sin of abortion and is waiting with open arms to do so.
On this 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade let us pause from our daily activities and pay homage to the millions of lives destroyed so senselessly. The Declaration of Independence states that we have certain unalienable rights, life being one of them. What about the rights of an unborn child to take his first breath of fresh air?
Ultrasound is evidence that a pregnant woman is not carrying just a mass of tissue, but instead, a human life. Shouldn’t those unalienable rights apply to an unborn child, as well? Take a stand, pro-lifers; it is time more of us defend those who are unable to defend themselves.

May 3 2011. Christ is Coming, Tic-Toc Tic-Toc. John the Baptist the 2nd.
So without 54 million abortions the population of the US would be at least 54 million more not counting any children had by the aborted. The avg. number of offspring in the US is .94 so that would make at least 50 million more bringing the total to 104 million and since abortion has been legal for 38 years now then second generations would be born bringing that total even higher. There are 30 million unemployed in the USA right now on the rolls, many more who have had their benefits expire. That means there would be a whole lot more unemployed in our country. Could you imagine another 100 million unemployed? I am not condoning abortion here but to understand consequences may help in stopping it. There are too many hungry kids and adults as it is now, I could not imagine if there were 100 million more Americans to feed. Social Security has 54 million receiving benefits and that number is going up drastically daily. To fix abortion I think you must fix social economics first, if you can't feed, house, cloth everyone now just imagine for 1 second what another 100 million would look like. Without fixing the issues now then you end up with agonizing deaths later also. More work on fixing the problems of the 310 million plus living right now first. Without fixing the problems at hand first you are only prolonging the problem you began with, humans dying.
