In the United States, one pregnancy in
three ends in abortion.
 The U.S. Supreme Court, through two rulings in 1973, declared it
legal to abort a baby for any reason through the ninth month of pregnancy. The number of
reported abortions since 1973 equals the popluation of 16 Western states.
 One baby is aborted every 20 seconds; 1.5 million every year. The total
number since 1973 is staggering. All American war-related casualties combined do not come
close to the mass murder of the war on the unborn.
What Can I Do?
Options any Christian and every church can use
Many women who have had abortions are in
our Southern Baptist churches. Women considering abortion and those who have experienced
it are in need of God's love and a demonstration of nonjudgmental love through His church.
Some argue, "A woman has the right to choose." A woman has the right to
be educated and counseled on the physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual aspects
of all her choices. She is the only one who can make the decision. She
will live with that decision the rest of her life.
