As things are heating up on the political stage over government funding of abortion and government forcing religious organizations such as hospitals and universities to provide contraceptives and abortions to their employees as part of the healthcare plans the offer, even if it is against the religious beliefs of the organization, I have been thinking about not only our religious freedom that is guaranteed under our Constitution, but also about the millions of lives that have been lost to abortion in our country since the legalization of abortion in 1973. And as I have been thinking about this I realized that in the almost 5 years that I have been writing this blog I have done very few posts about the tragedy of abortion, and it is time to correct that.
Yesterday as I was reading headlines on the internet trying to get up to speed on the day's news I saw one that grabbed my attention; the title of the article was 19 Facts About Abortion In America That Should Make You Very Sick. With my interest piqued I clicked on the link, and here is what I read:
19 Facts About Abortion In America That Should Make You Very Sick
Every single day, a silent horror kills more Americans than were killed on 9/11. Every single year, this silent horror kills about as many Americans as have been killed on all the battlefields in all of the wars in U.S. history combined. This silent horror is called abortion, and it is a national disgrace. Overall, more than 50 million babies have been slaughtered since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973. We have become a nation with so little regard for human life that nobody even really talks that much about this issue anymore. But the truth is that it is at the very core of what is wrong with America. As I have written about previously, we have become a nation that is obsessed with population control, and we have been exporting this sick philosophy all over the globe. As you read this, there are workers from U.S. organizations and UN organizations (both funded by your tax dollars) that are on the other side of the world setting up "family planning services" for women in poor countries. The goal of these organizations (just like we see in the United States) is to reduce the number of poor children being born. The sick control freaks that run things have decided that overpopulation is a plague that must be eradicated and that mass murder is the answer. Unfortunately, there are very few people that are still willing to speak out strongly against abortion in America. So the carnage is just going to go on and on and on.What will the history books say about a nation that murdered 50 million of its own babies?
The following are 19 facts about abortion in America that should make you very sick....
#1 There have been more than 53 million abortions performed in the United States since Roe v. Wade was decided back in 1973. #2 When you total up all forms of abortion, including those caused by the abortion drug RU 486, the grand total comes to more than a million abortions performed in the United States every single year. #3 The number of American babies killed by abortion each year is roughly equal to the number of U.S. military deaths that have occurred in all of the wars that the United States has ever been involved in combined. #4 Approximately 3,000 Americans lost their lives as a result of the destruction of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11. Every single day, more than 3,000 American babies are killed by abortion. #5 It has been reported that a staggering 41 percent of all New York City pregnancies end in abortion. #6 According to Pastor Clenard Childress, approximately 52 percent of all African-American pregnancies now end in abortion. #7 One very shocking study found that 86 percent of all abortions are done for the sake of convenience. #8 According to the Guttmacher Institute, the average cost of a first trimester abortion at the ten week mark is $451. #9 The average cost of a vaginal birth with no complications in the United States is now over $9,000. #10 A Department of Homeland Security report that was released in January 2012 says that if you are "anti-abortion", you are a potential terrorist. Unfortunately, there have also been other government reports that have also identified "anti-abortion" protesters as potential threats. #11 A while back one Philadelphia abortionist was charged with killing seven babies that were born alive, but witnesses claim that he actually slaughtered hundreds "of living, breathing newborn children by severing their spinal cords or slitting their necks." #13 Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger once said the following....
"The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."
#14 In a 1922 book entitled "Woman, Morality, and Birth Control", Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger wrote the following....
"Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race."
#16 Planned Parenthood specifically targets the poor. A staggering 72 percent of Planned Parenthood's "customers" have incomes that are either equal to or beneath 150 percent of the federal poverty level. #18 Planned Parenthood received more than 487 million dollars from the federal government during 2010. 1) Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby's legs with forceps.
2) The baby's leg is pulled out into the birth canal.
3) The abortionist delivers the baby's entire body, except for the head.
4) The abortionist jams scissors into the baby's skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the skull.
5) The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child's brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed.
How can we murder our own children?
Unfortunately, there are organizations out there such as Planned Parenthood that spend millions upon millions of dollars trying to convince the American people that abortion is okay. Just check out this jaw dropping propaganda video. And every single year, politicians from both political parties continue to vote to give hundreds of millions of our tax dollars to Planned Parenthood.
Our politicians talk about how we need to spread our values to the rest of the world, but what kind of "values" do we really have when we have such little respect for human life?
There is no hope for America as long as this mass slaughter of innocent children continues to go on all across the United States.
Please share this list of facts about abortion in America with as many people as you can. We need to wake the American people up. Most Americans spend their days in an entertainment-induced haze and take very little time to think about the issues that really matter.
And if you think that the issue of abortion does not matter, then you are dead wrong.
The mass murder of more than 50 million American babies is something that cannot be ignored.
Their blood is crying out to us from the ground where it has been spilled.
Yes, this article is going to make a lot of people uncomfortable, but it is the truth.
Isn't it time that someone started telling the truth in America?
The author of this article is correct - this should make us sick! And as Christians we should be on our knees before the throne of God in repentance for not doing all we can to stop this murder of the most innocent and helpless among us. It is no wonder that our country is in the mess it is, how in the world can we imagine that God will bless us while this is going on in our land?
