The Mental and Emotional Toll of Abortion

The number of American babies killed by abortion each year is approximately equal to the number of U.S. military deaths in all of the wars that the United States have ever been part of combined, and every day over 3,000 unborn babies die due to abortion. According to biblebelievers.com, 93 percent of abortions are for convenience, only 3 percent of the time the mother and baby at risk, and rape and incest occur less than 1 percent of the time.

It is natural to raise and nurture your child, but killing your child is unnatural and not gods plan. Abortion sends the message that life is not valuable, but if that were true Christ would not have died for our sins. Even if it was not your choice to have a child, you have a choice to adopt the child or keep it.

The controversy about Abortion is not hard to answer if people looked at the facts because all of the facts prove abortion is not the answer.
