Our Nation's Shame

I can't shake the thoughts I've had concerning the horrors of abortion in this nation. 50,000,000 abortions since 1973. Ever since I read that number yesterday I've felt sick inside.

I keep hearing those who favor abortion rights pontificating about womens' rights. But what about responsibility? Is no one responsible for their actions anymore?

And of course, there is the specious argument about the woman's health if the pregnancy is carried to term. But here are the real numbers:

1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest; 6% of abortions occur because of potential health problems regarding either the mother or child, and 93% of all abortions occur for social reasons (i.e. the child is unwanted or inconvenient).

That's right, 93% of all of the abortions performed are "just because ..." Because it's inconvenient, or because children just aren't in the plan right now.

God promises judgment on those who shed innocent blood.
