In our wildest imagination can you think of how many Innocent babies have been killed since that horrible day in history! God forgive us as a nation and please help our Government and the leaders to hear your word and call to stop the killings. There is no reason why women, men, or doctors should have the right to choose to kill a living baby, that choice only belongs to our loving creator, God, who loves and forgives us through Christ Jesus.
This is the site to a beautiful song, YOU KNEW MY NAME.
I am posting some statistics for anyone who is interested. Our State had only a few more then 800 abortions this last year. I say only because this is a low number compared to many states.
When I think of about 3 abortions happening each day in our state, it makes me sick to my stomach. When I think of my children, my grandchildren, I can't understand any argument one might have for this atrocious act of sin.
