babyThirty-two years ago today, the U.S. Supreme Court held that women have a right to privacy to kill their unborn children:

This right of privacy, whether it be founded in the Fourteenth Amendment’s concept of personal liberty and restrictions upon state action, as we feel it is, or, as the District Court determined, in the Ninth Amendment’s reservation of rights to the people, is broad enough to encompass a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.

Since the ruling, over 43 million unborn babies have been murdered in the womb.

  8. An anniversary I don’t feel like celebrating
    Today marks the 32nd anniversary of an event that I don’t much care to celebrate:

    Roe v. Wade.

  9. Few people put illegal immigration and abortion together, but when you consider that close to half of those 43 million aborted children would be workforce age today, the argument for illegal immigrants filling the jobs we would not take goes away. Those 21 million or so job-age Americans aborted would instead be filling those positions today and the whole issue of giving illegals a pass because we need them to work the jobs Americans will not work would be moot; Americans WOULD be working those jobs and there would be no incentive for illegals to be streaming in.

    No one ever makes this connection. This is how one evil leads to an unintended second evil.

    The sadness that occurs when considering the 46 million lives taken since 1973 is overwhelming. But one thing that I think is often overlooked in this discussion is the 40+ million women who are scarred, that desparately need our love.

  12. That and 1.3 Billion performed worldwide.

    Visit http://www.silentscream.org/ (unforunately, due to the use of java applets, this site is best seen using Internet Explorer 5.5+)

    Now for the first time, we have the technology to see abortion from the victims vantage point.
    Ultrasound imaging has allowed us to see this.

    -Dr. Bernard Nathanson

    Dr. Nathanson had performed over 70K abortions, before he had the bright idea to use technology to videotape the baby while performing an abortion.

    That videotape pricked his conscience and forced him to hang up his tools of death and to speak out against this murder for profit, much to the horror of NARAL and other pro-child murderers who would have you believe that abortion is sexy, yes sexy!!

    I remember laughing when we made those slogans up,” recalls Bernard Nathanson, M.D., co-founder of pro-abortion group NARAL, reminiscing about the early days of the pro-abortion movement in the late ’60s and early ’70s.

    We were looking for some sexy, catchy slogans to capture public opinion. They were very cynical slogans then, just as all of these slogans today are very, very cynical.
