Since 1973 we have really only had one truly pro-life president (Reagan). There are plenty of politicians who claim to be pro-life while pandering for votes, but when you look at their records you will find that very few are actually pro-life.
And call it what it truly is GENOCIDE. In 2006 the number of murdered unborn babies was 47 Million. That does not even include the ones done away with via D & C so ins would cover the cost.
The current number is at least 53 million and that doesn't include D&Cs or chemical abortions with RU-486.
The old saw ‘it’s to save the life of the mother’ is baloney. Especially in a late term, a C section accomplishes the same thing. I’ve delivered via C section for that reason, only difference is I wanted my son. They don’t want their babies, and don’t want any one else to have the baby either.
With modern surgical procedures, the number of times an abortion of an viable baby will actually save a woman's life is almost nil; ectopic pregnancies do occur, but in many cases the fetus is dead before the problem is diagnosed. NOBODY opposes NECESSARY procedures that WILL SAVE a mother's life while tragically killing the baby in the process, but these are very rare.
The most tragic cases are when women are diagnosed with cancer and abortion is necessary to begin treatment as soon as possible. Even with these cases, I regularly see stories about women who sacrificed their own lives so their baby could live.
I knew you would have the current figures. And I quite agree with what you state on the issue. We had control of all 3 branches for 2 years, and not a blessed thing was done to make this the rare procedure it should be.
There are to many forms of birth control available that we don’t need this as a form of birth control. We have long term like implants, the pill, or permanent...i.e. tube tying.
Which was my choice following the second C section, did it all in the 1 procedure.
You do hear of many stories of women choosing to sacrifice their lives for their unborn’s. And some times God fools the medical profession and both survive.
