Abortion: An Assault on the Defenseless
The Ensign ^ | October, 2008 | Elder Russell M. Nelson

"Death Rates from Wars With that understanding and reverence for life, we deplore the loss of life associated with warfare. The data are appalling. In World War I, more than 8 million military fatalities occurred. In World War II, more than 22 million servicemen and women died.2 Together, these two wars, covering portions of 14 years, cost the lives of at least 30 million soldiers worldwide. That figure does not include the millions of civilian casualties.

These data, however, are dwarfed by the toll of another war that claims more casualties annually than did World War I and World War II combined. Worldwide reports indicate that more than 40 million abortions are performed per year.3

This war called abortion is a war on the defenseless and the voiceless. It is a war on the unborn. This war is being waged globally. Ironically, civilized societies that have generally placed safeguards on human life have now passed laws that sanction this practice."

Demorats will protect the rights of a convicted child rapist murderer from the electric chair but they have no problem passing legislation to kill an innocent life

Because if women can’t get abortions, they won’t be sluts, simply out of self-protection. That will result in men not getting all the sex they can possibly handle—and that is EVIL.
