I did read somewhere that there are more abortions than live births in the US these days. This is depressing, as the above figure shows, there would be at least one abortion every 8 seconds.
Imagine one US soldier death every 8 seconds in Iraq?
Or one death every 8 seconds in a plane crash?
How long would that be tolerated??
Just because it happens to the unborn means, to society, its less important.
But its still wrong.
I do not want to make abortions illegal. That situation has its own problems. But the sheer weight of the tragedy as it is now is truly upsetting.
