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

Exodus 20:13 You shall not murder.

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…
