Data on Abortion

Here's a sobering article with abortion statistics from a reliable source.

Useful, horrifying facts:

"since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, there have been more than 40 million abortions in America. According to the study, “one of every three American women will have an abortion by the time they reach 45.” Additionally, in a typical year there are 4.1 million live births, 1.3 million abortions and 900,000 miscarriages."

"Catholics represent 27 percent of those having abortions -- roughly 350,000 per year— and Born-Again or Evangelical Christians represent 13 percent of those having abortions – roughly 170,000 per year."

Keep in mind these numbers are for abortions performed in the United States. There are millions more every year around the world.
