48,589,993 so Far
Over 1 MILLION reasons PER YEAR to remember.
I wish Every Human had the right to "choose". unfortunatley 48,589,993 Human Babies had that choice made for them!
Just my opinion, His humble servant
Tim can that be right? 1 Million per year. Ouch! From a purely secular point of view, I am beginning to understand why the industry is so well funded.
Figure if the procedure cost $1,000 and 1 million reasons equals $1 Billion dollars. Is that right? If so, only God can make a difference. God using your vote.
Yes, actually the number for 2007 was 1.2 million...but hey as long as blockbuster has the movie I want to watch this friday, all is well!
(if its not obvious, that last part was sarcasm)
There are about 3,700, every DAY in the US. That equates to 1.37 MILLION per YEAR. Worldwide, there are approximately 46 MILLION per YEAR.
Only 1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest. 6% occurs because of potential health problems regarding either the mother or child. 93% of all abortions, performed in the US, are for social reasons.
19,000 People Die every day from preventable Hunger...but that doesn't seem to stir up the moral compass as much as the unborn who even if outlawed would still be being slaughtered in back alleys and the like...but those that would vote to end preventable Hunger are liberal/immoral because the pragmatism of giving food to those who would eat it is somehow less moral than rescuing the unborn from those that would find a way to destroy them secretly.
anon - Obviously you are passionate about the hunger in the world. Thank you for not being numbed by the seemingly impossible nature of the problem. Two thoughts come to mind.
First and foremost, I ask forgiveness for whatever contribution I have made toward world hunger. Second, as an American I can vote according to my passions. Hoping you will do the same and in the process maybe lives will be saved.

To the person passionate about world hunger.
Abortions per day - 115,000.
These are people that don't even have the opportunity to be hungry and are murdered.
