The Bare Facts: Abortion in our society is rampant
- Every working day, apporoximately 385 babies are aborted
in Canada.
(100,000 abortions/yr at 5 days/week of abortion =
385 abortions/day)
- According to the Allan Guttmacher
Institute (AGI),
a radically pro-choice organization, 23% of all Canadian
pregnancies end in abortion. For every 3 live births, one is
aborted.** 1
- AGI wrote:
“Given the current worldwide abortion rate of 35 abortions annually per 1,000 women
15-44, over the course of 30 years (roughly the span of a woman's
childbearing years), about 1,050 abortions will occur per 1,000
women. This
implies a lifetime average of about one abortion per woman.” 2
- Childbirth by Choice Trust (A
pro-choice organization) wrote:
“About 50% of pregnant teenagers
choose to have an abortion. About 20,000 teenagers have abortions
in Canada each year” 3
- 43% of women obtaining abortions
identify themselves as Protestant, and 27% identify themselves as
Catholic. 13% of abortion patients say they are “born-again or
evangelical Christians” 4
- These children are fatherless.
The fathers have NO say.
“In 1989, the Supreme Court of Canada
ruled in the Chantal Daigle case that a woman’s choice to terminate
her pregnancy cannot be stopped legally by the ‘biological
father’” 5
This is murder in our society, and
we need to do something.
