When it comes to gun violence in schools, people get outraged about children in danger of losing their lives. It’s a worthy concern. According to Education Week, in 2018 28 students were killed in school shootings, while so far in 2019, 2 children have been killed.
That is tragic. But it’s not about the math; it’s about the loss of life … and 30 lives forever gone are 30 too many. But have you noticed that when it comes to babies born during abortions -- or viable babies aborted after 20 weeks -- all you hear is that it’s not that many? But how many are there?
Consider this, according to the Centers for Disease Control and the abortion-industry think tank the Guttmacher Institute, “only” about 1.3 percent of abortions are late-term (after 21 weeks). With an abortion rate of 879,000 in 2017, that’s more than 11,400 increasingly viable babies at risk.
Those increasingly viable babies face pain, suffering and loss of life.
And what of those who may be exposed to infanticide, allowed to die only because they were born during an abortion, how many might there be?
USA Today notes: “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recorded 143 deaths between 2003 and 2014 involving infants born alive during attempted abortions,” with CDC also reporting “it is possible that this number (143) underestimates the total number of deaths involving induced termination.” In another report, the CDC also notes, “Although unlikely, the induced abortion procedure may result in a live birth.”
May? Many abortion survivors are alive and available to tell their own stories. Articulate people like Melissa Ohden, the founder of the Abortion Survivors Network, Josiah Presley or Claire Culwell, speak eloquently about life after almost death at the hands of an abortionist.

From one who was conceived in rape: “I’m the President of Save The 1 – a global pro-life organization of over 450 who were conceived in rape (like me) and mothers who became pregnant by rape who are either raising their children, birthmothers, or post-abortive. Additionally, we have hundreds who were told to abort due to a pre-natal diagnosis. We value life and urge the Republic of Ireland to preserve the 8th Amendment.
It is simply barbaric to punish an innocent child for someone else’s crime. Punish rapists, not babies. I did not deserve the death penalty for the crime of my biological father. My own birthmother tried to kill me at 2 illegal abortions, and was pro-choice when we met 28 years ago, but today, we are thankful we were both protected from the horror of abortion, just as the women and children of Ireland are protected today.”
How can one oppose the murder of babies conceived in incest or as a result of rape?
What did those babies do that they deserve to be killed?
What authority do we have to take their lives?
“143 deaths between 2003 and 2014”
5 year old info? I wonder how many since then, since the Left/Dems been increasingly pushing for more baby killing.
As posted yesterday:
Those little HUMAN Beings with their whole lives in front of them can be SOOO inconvenient!
They get hungry, restless and squirmy.
Sometimes they spit up, pee in their diapers and every now and then they even POOP
But you know they’ll give you
All the love your heart can stand
All the sorrows your spirit can bear
And all the worries your mind can comprehend at times
It’s a Divine mission if you are HUMAN enough to accept it
