The horrifying account of Kermit Gosnell

A few facts you may wish to share:

More than half the pregnancies in the U.S. are unintended. Of those pregnancies, 40% end in abortion.

1.2 million tiny sons and daughters are killed each year by abortion.

11,000 babies are killed every year after being in their mom’s womb more than 20 weeks. (Think: If 11,000 were killed because of an earthquake, tsunami, or bomb, it would be in the headlines and our conversations for a very long time.)

On average, a baby is aborted in the US every 20 seconds. As you listen to this podcast, 150 babies will be aborted.

3 out of every 10 women will have an abortion before the age of 45.
