Imagine that your doctor has just given you the terrific news that your annual checkup went well and that all of your tests show that you are in perfect health. Then imagine that he hands you a script and says, Take this every day. It has many side effects, including lethal ones. You would be loath to begin this regimen.

Interpretation of data is of utmost importance when looking at the latest Guttmacher report. To understand the enormity of how many babies are aborted each year, read today’s commentary. We must work to protect all human beings born and preborn. This tragedy these killings must be stopped.
We live in a backward culture that somehow thinks the murder of a child is not only acceptable, but something that should be celebrated and embraced. We’ve allowed minds to become so twisted and confused that they don’t even see the resulting destruction. We say all the time that we must be voices for the preborn, but are we loud enough to be heard over all this noise?
