Michael Snyder points out 25 facts on abortion that everyone should read

Important Takeaways:

  • Every single day, the number of American children that are killed exceeds the number of Americans that were killed on 9/11. Every single year, the number of American children that are killed is nearly equal to the number of Americans that have been killed in all of the wars that the U.S. has ever been involved in combined.
  • Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022. But our politicians in Washington didn’t pass a law to end the killing that year, or the year after that, or the year after that, and it certainly won’t happen this year.  Of course the truth is that survey after survey has shown that most Americans do not want the killing to stop.  Sadly, this is especially true for young women of childbearing age.  The following are 25 facts about abortion in America that should make you very sick…
    • #1 There have been more than 60 million abortions in the United States since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973.
    • #2 The number of abortions performed in the U.S. actually went up during the 12 months immediately following the overturning of Roe v. Wade…
    • #3 In 2023, more than a million abortions were performed in the United States. That was the first year since 2012 that we have surpassed the one million abortion mark.
    • #4 Approximately 3,000 Americans lost their lives as a result of the destruction of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11. Every single day, more than 3,000 American babies are killed by abortion.
    • #5 The number of American babies killed by abortion each year is roughly equal to the number of U.S. military deaths that have occurred in all of the wars that the United States has ever been involved in combined.
    • #6 Approximately 22 percent of all pregnancies in the United States end in abortion. That means that more than one out of every five Americans is killed before they can even start their lives.
    • #7 Approximately 33 percent of all pregnancies in New York City end in abortion.
    • #8 Today, approximately 80 percent of all abortions are performed within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy.
    • #9 If a state passes a law that bans abortion after 9 weeks or after 12 weeks, they are actually legalizing the vast majority of the abortions that already take place.
    • #10 Unmarried women account for 88 percent of all abortions in the United States.
    • #11 Pew Research has discovered that 62 percent of U.S. adults think that “abortion should be legal in all or most cases”…
    • #12 According to a survey that was conducted in August 2024, 74 percent of all women in the United States between the ages of 18 and 49 believe that abortion should be legal…
    • #13 A Gallup survey found that only 13 percent of Americans believe that abortion “should be illegal in all circumstances”…
    • #14 In 2023, medication abortion accounted for 63 percent of all U.S. abortions. Medication abortion accounted for just 6 percent of all abortions in 2001.
    • #15 The U.S. has done more to promote abortion around the world than any other nation. More than 1.5 billion abortions have been performed worldwide since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973.  The total population of the world is currently about 8 billion.
    • #16 According to the official website of the World Health Organization, there are approximately 73 million abortions globally each year. If you multiply that number by 10, you get 730 million abortions in just one decade, and if you multiply that number by 20, you get almost 1.5 billion abortions in just two decades.
    • #17 Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger once made the following statement…
      • “The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.”
    • #18 In a 1922 book entitled “Woman, Morality, and Birth Control”, Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger wrote the following….
      • “Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race.”
    • #19 In the United States, Planned Parenthood performs close to 400,000 abortions each year.
    • #20 The average salary for the CEO of a Planned Parenthood affiliate is $317,000.
    • #21 Planned Parenthood receives more than 500 million dollars from the federal government each year.
    • #22 The average cost of a first trimester abortion in the United States is typically between 600 dollars and 800 dollars.
    • #23 The average cost of a vaginal birth with no complications in the United States is now around 13,000 dollars.
    • #24 30 percent of U.S. women that have abortions identify as Protestant, and 24 percent of U.S. women that have abortions identify as Catholic.
    • #25 Tissue from aborted babies is often sold and used in various forms of “medical research”. The following comes from the New York Post…
      • Stomach-churning emails show Planned Parenthood negotiating terms regarding the donation of aborted fetuses for medical research.

Newly discovered volcanic vent at Yellowstone

Important Takeaways:

  • Scientists from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) have discovered a newly opened volcanic vent in Norris Geyser Basin.
  • The vent is at the foot of a rhyloite lava flow, and is spewing hot steam up into the air.
  • ‘While driving south from Mammoth Hot Springs towards Norris Geyser Basin early on August 5 last summer, a park scientist noticed a billowing steam column through the trees and across a marshy expanse,’ the USGS explained.
  • The new vent was discovered last summer within a region called the Roadside Springs thermal area.
  • Lying within a swath of warm, hydrothermally altered ground, approximately 200ft (60 meters) long, the new feature is about 9.8ft (three meters) below the marsh surface.
  • Shortly after it was identified, park geologists visited the vent to get a closer look.
  • There, they discovered a very thin veneer of grey silicious clay barely covering the ground, and temperatures of 77°C (171°F).
  • According to the team, this indicates the new vent is ‘very young’ in nature.
  • This isn’t the first time that this type of hydrothermal activity has been spotted in the area.
  • Back in 2003, a similar vent was spotted just on the other side of the same rhyolite lava flow.
  • ‘Are the new feature and the activity that started in 2003 hydrologically connected?’ USGS asked.
  • ‘Probably.
  • ‘One could run a line along the axis of the older active area and it would intersect the new feature.
  • ‘This line also follows the trend of faults that run from Norris Geyser Basin northward to Mammoth Hot Springs and beyond.’
  • So far, geologists have mapped more than 100 major hydrothermal areas in Yellowstone National Park, as well as more than 10,000 within its boundaries.
  • Thankfully, USGS reassures that there is still about 100,000 years to go before the supervolcano is likely to erupt.

President Trump signed executive order to immediately increase American production of critical minerals like uranium, copper, potash and gold

Important Takeaways:

  • The move is intended to help the US reduce its reliance on imports from countries like China, which dominates the industry for production and processing of many of these important materials.
  • The order gives Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, in consultation with other executive branch agency heads, the authority to use the Defense Production Act to facilitate the advancement of domestic mineral production.
  • The act, which was passed in 1950 in response to production needs during the Korean War, gives the government more control during emergencies to direct industrial production. Trump invoked it in 2020 at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.
  • “It is imperative for our national security that the United States take immediate action to facilitate domestic mineral production to the maximum possible extent,” the order states.
  • Within 10 days, Trump calls for Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to provide a list of all federal lands “known to hold mineral deposits and reserves” and “prioritize mineral production and mining related purposes as the primary land uses in these areas, consistent with applicable law.”
  • The order also asks the heads of the Interior, Defense, Agriculture and Energy departments to identify “as many sites as possible” where the construction and operation of private mineral production could take place.
  • Trump previewed the action in his joint address to Congress earlier this month, saying, “I will also take historic action to dramatically expand production of critical minerals and rare earths here in the USA.”
  • On Inauguration Day, Trump signed an executive order declaring a national energy emergency, which said an “active threat to the American people from high energy prices is exacerbated by our Nation’s diminished capacity to insulate itself from hostile foreign actors.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling on the FDA to pull approval of the coronavirus vaccines

Marjorie Taylor Greene

Important Takeaways:

  • “FDA approval for COVID-19 vaccines needs to be pulled and they need taken off the childhood vaccine schedule ASAP,” Greene began. “COVID-19 vaccines are causing permanent harm and deaths.”
  • “COVID-19 vaccines should have never received approval and they’ve known the entire time how bad the side effects are and deaths caused by them. It’s time to do the right thing,” she added.
  • In the summer of 2021, polls indicated nearly one-third of Americans believed officials were lying about vaccine safety.
  • By January 2023, nearly half of Americans said it was at least somewhat likely that coronavirus vaccines had caused a “significant number of unexplained deaths.”
  • Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo was among those who led the way in bringing attention to the potential side effects of the vaccines
  • He also made it clear that the vaccine would not be added to the child immunization schedule in the Sunshine State due to unanswered questions and lingering concerns over vaccine safety.
  • “CDC & FDA continue to push COVID vaccines that are not backed by clinical evidence, but blind faith alone with ZERO regard for widespread immunity,” Ladapo said in a 2023 update, advising against coronavirus booster shots for most people.
  • The CDC’s current childhood vaccine schedule lists one or more doses of the 2024-2025 coronavirus vaccine in the age bracket of 6 months to 15 months. It lists “1 or more doses” 18 months through 18 years as well.
  • President Donald Trump has since taken executive action to halt federal funding for schools mandating the coronavirus vaccine.
