… 50,000,000 Abortions ...

How Large a Number is 50 Million?  Consider These Comparisons …

·         Since the beginning of the American Revolution (233 years ago), American soldiers killed in ALL MAJOR WARS total 1.14 million.   In only 36 years, we’ve killed almost 44 times more babies through abortion with help from taxpayer money.  Put another way, if the RATE of death of our unborn babies were the same as American soldiers lost in major conflicts, it would have taken 10,000 years to kill that many babies.  And we did it in 36 years.   (Major American Wars:  American Revolution, Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War, Iraq War).

·         On average, government-sanctioned abortion has killed over 3,800 unborn babies every day for 36 years. 

·         On average, abortion has taken the life of an innocent unborn baby in the U.S. every 23 seconds for 36 years!!!

·         Between 1939 & 1945, Nazis exterminated 5.7 million Jews, horrifying the world and forever embedding the term “holocaust” in our hearts.  By contrast, through abortion we are killing unborn babies at an annual rate that is 50% faster than the Nazis’ attempts to kill all Jews through their “final solution.”  

·         If you were born after 1973, imagine that you are seeing but 3 of every 4 people your age …. That missing 25% is the portion of your generation aborted prior to birth. 

Abortion is America’s Holocaust. 

Until we respect and protect human life from conception to natural death,

our country will continue to experience the breakdown of moral law and lose the blessings of God.

“...and if my people, upon whom my name has been pronounced, humble themselves and pray,

and seek my presence and turn from their evil ways, I will hear them from heaven

and pardon their sins and revive their land.” 

2 Chron. 7:14
