Abortion-

About 50 million babies have been aborted since 1973, and approximately 24% of pregnancies end in abortion in the US. That's about 1.2 million abortions every year, the number of American soldiers killed in all of the wars in US history combined is about the number babies have been aborted in America. Basically American doctors have killed that many defenseless children, and many of them take pride in their work. I completely disagree with abortion, just because you cant take care of the child doesn't mean you kill it, if you truly can't take care of it allow it to be adopted but don't destroy something that could be good in the future.

 Abortion is more common in the major cities of America then in any other country in the world, for example it has been reported that a staggering 41 percent of all New York City pregnancies end in abortion. This is one description of the five steps of a partial birth abortion….

1) Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby’s legs with forceps.
2) The baby’s leg is pulled out into the birth canal.
3) The abortionist delivers the baby’s entire body, except for the head.
4) The abortionist jams scissors into the baby’s skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the skull.
5) The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child’s brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed.

Unfortunately, there are organizations out there such as Planned Parenthood that spend millions upon millions of dollars trying to convince the American people that abortion is okay.
Planned Parenthood performs more then 300,000 abortions every year, they also target the poor.  72% of Planned Parenthood’s “customers” have incomes that are either equal to or beneath 150 percent of the federal poverty level. There are 30 Planned Parenthood executives that make more than $200,000 a year. A few of them make more than $300,000 a year,
 they also received more than 487 million dollars from the federal government during 2010.
