Since Roe v. Wade in 1973, abortions have taken the life of more than 57 million babies. On average, every single day 2,900 babies are killed via abortion.¹ The rights they possessed as the living were lost in 1973 and since then there has been a lack of legislative support to void this “right to kill.”

Every year more babies are murdered than Americans killed in all wars in U.S. history combined. Some suggest that abortion is simply a front for population control, a philosophy that the U.S. and U.N. are endorsing across the globe. Our tax dollars are going toward the establishment of “family planning services” for women in poor countries. All this is an effort to reduce the number of poor people being born.

There are more than 1.2 million abortions (including those by drug RU 486, the morning after pill) every year. One study found that 86% of all abortions are for the sake of convenience. Murder for the sake of convenience is the most calloused, unfeeling, and selfish motive. Americans might see it differently if the government decided to kill many of us for the sake of convenience. If you think that is far-fetched, just look at Carthage in 300 BC. They not only burned thousands of children as sacrifices, they also killed unwanted orphans and widows to reduce the amount of poverty and suffering in the city. In the 1930s, Nazi Germany passed laws making it legal to kill the old and infirm, later extending it to allow the murder of Jews, gypsies and other unwanted members of society.

The trial of Philadelphia abortionist Gosnell is showing the cruelty used to kill babies that were born alive. Witnesses claim that Gosnell slaughtered hundreds “of living, breathing newborn children by severing their spinal cords or slitting their necks.”

From its radical foundation, Planned Parenthood has financially prospered through its proud genocide of abortions every year. A shocking 72% of Planned Parenthood’s “clients” have incomes that are either equal to or beneath 150% of the federal poverty level. Planned Parenthood receives hundreds of millions of dollars each year in funding for its legalized murder.

During a partial birth abortion, scissors are jammed into the baby’s skull and opened to enlarge the skull. At this point, they remove the scissors and use a suction catheter to suck out the child’s brains, causing the skull to collapse -- then they remove the dead baby.

For all the misinformation about gun murders, handguns kill 28 every day while abortions kill 2,900. The ratio of murders by abortion to those killed by handguns is 103.57 to 1.

Ironically, the world is shocked when a living child is murdered, instantly asking for the maximum sentence possible for the offender, but when a woman wants to murder her unborn, living baby, nothing.

In 2004, a structured survey was completed by 1,209 abortion patients at 11 large providers, and in-depth interviews were conducted with 38 women at four sites. “The reasons most frequently cited were that having a child would interfere with a woman's education, work or ability to care for dependents (74%); that she could not afford a baby now (73%); and that she did not want to be a single mother or was having relationship problems (48%). Nearly four in 10 women said they had completed their childbearing, and almost one-third were not ready to have a child. Fewer than 1% said their parents' or partners' desire for them to have an abortion was the most important reason. Younger women often reported that they were unprepared for the transition to motherhood, while older women regularly cited their responsibility to dependents.”²

Mother Teresa likened abortion to "a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? …Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of peace and love is abortion."³

Abortion is immoral, uncivilized, and a legalization of murder for selfish convenience. Americans fail to understand the realities of this ongoing atrocity that seems to get little press anymore. Is there so little regard for human life that we see the unborn as disposable and inhuman largely for the sake of convenience?
