Abortion Numbers Reach 47 Million
0 Comments
The infamous 1973 Roe. v. Wade decision was a deadly turn of events in American history. Since that decision, the deaths by abortion has reached 47 million sometime during 2005. That is about one million abortions per year and the total number of abortions is expected to reach over 50 million by 2008.
"Our society needs to put in context the enormous amount of loss that we’ve suffered — the enormous amount of intelligence, the enormous amount of creativity, the enormous amount of productivity," O’Bannon said, referring to the millions of lives lost since Roe.
Polls show that Americans have mixed views about abortion. A CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll from January showed that 53 percent of Americans consider themselves pro-choice, 42 percent pro-life. In addition, a 2005 CBS News poll showed that 60 percent of Americans believe Roe v. Wade was a "good thing."
Most people do not have any conception on what an abortion is or what is involved in an abortion. They do not know what is meant by a partial-abortion. If more are exposed to ways and the results of a completed abortions and let them witness the waste of life, there may be more calling for the end of abortions.
Pro-lifers gained a lot of public relations ground during the debate over partial-birth abortion in the 1990s. They sought to ban a late-term procedure in which the doctor delivers a second or third-term baby, feet first, until only the head is left in the birth canal. The base of the infant’s skull is then pierced with surgical scissors and the brain is suctioned out. One nurse who witnessed the procedure testified as to seeing a "baby’s little fingers … clasping and unclasping, and his little feet … kicking" before it was killed.
For example, my wife explained what partial birth abortions are to some of her very liberal co-workers who are very pro-abortion. They had no idea what it was and felt disgust once it was explained to them. Unfortunately it did not change their stance on abortions. But maybe it will change others to pro-life.
