The fact is that every abortion kills a baby

The fact is that every abortion kills a baby.  It ends a life.  In 2012, 699,202 legal induced abortions were reported to CDC. (ref: http://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/data_stats/)  This is 1,915 abortions per day.  Since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, more than 56 million American babies have been aborted! 

Ask yourself some questions; do some research; and especially do some soul-searching on this:
(1) Do innocent unborn children have rights?  Who stands up for them? 
(2) How many of the 1,915 abortions per day are done "for the health of the mother"? 
(3) Is killing a baby in the womb really a legitimate alternative to birth control?... or adoption?
(4) How many of the 1,915 abortions each day are performed on babies conceived as a result of rape or incest? (and even then, why should the child suffer for the sins of the father or mother?)
(5) What kind of society is it that doesn't protect the most innocent of life?

Bottom line: as a moral society, we cannot defend the killing of innocents in the womb for convenience.

Jeremiah 1:4-5  Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations."

Psalm 139:13-14  For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.  I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.
