Steve Skojec over at Inside Catholic made an interesting point in an article a couple of days ago.  The estimates for the number of people expected (at the time) to attend the inauguration of (then) President-Elect Obama was 1.5 million people (I haven’t seen “official” estimates of the actual number yet).  This is really close to the number of unborn babies killed each year through abortion.

Go look at pictures of how crowded the Mall was.  That’s how many babies were killed last year.

For another perspective of what abortion has done since 1973, look at the total.  Say there have been around 50 million abortions since unrestricted access to abortion was discovered in the Constitution (it’s hard to know for sure, since reporting is sketchy at best).  That’s the population of the west coast of the US.  Eliminate all of the people in California, Oregon, and Washington.  Or it’s the entire population of Canada one and a half times.  Or it’s half of Mexico.  Or it’s more than the populations of the 50 most populous cities in the US combined.  And that’s just abortions performed in the US.

This country has said for the past 36 years that it’s ok that we’ve killed about 25% of our children each year.

Pray for an end to this horror.
