"For you formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well." (Psalm 139:13-14)

Is it a transgression to flagrantly eradicate the life of another person? On the surface, such a question may seem absurd. "Of course it is!" any sane and moral person would say. But sadly, in January 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe vs. Wade made such an atrocity legal by reversing legislation against the criminal act of murdering unborn babies by way of abortion. Fortunately, after years of protests by pro-life advocates, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade on June 24, 2022. But, before the rescinding, the Supreme Court's blatant disregard for the lives of unborn children has been attributed to the following alarming statistics:
- Abortion killed more than 60 million unborn babies in the United States.
- On average, slightly more than one million unborn babies were murdered each year in America.
- It is estimated that 725,000 abortions were performed yearly on unborn babies who were nine weeks or older. At this stage of pregnancy, the baby's heart, brain, stomach, kidneys, and liver are functioning. Furthermore, at this point in time, the baby can feel pain.
- Abortion was, and still is, the leading cause of death in the United States, surpassing deaths caused by heart disease and cancer combined.
- About 95% of abortions were, and still are, performed as a means of birth control. One percent is performed for physical irregularities of the child, one percent for incest or rape, and three percent to prevent the death or serious injury to the health of the mother.
