One of the greatest rebellions in the US and around the world is the mass murder of an estimated 43.8 million babies annually. This apostasy reveals the heart of man towards God. There are several statistics that support this attack on the family. Here are a few alarming facts.

• 57.5 million babies in the US aborted since Roe vs. Wade in 1973.

• 1 of every 5 women who get an abortion identifies as a born-again, evangelical charismatic, or fundamentalist Christian. Given that more than one million women abort each year in the US, this means a staggering 200,000 Bible-believing Christians, annually. And according to Christian ministries working with this population, a vast majority of thesewomen will never reveal their secret.

• Black non-Hispanic women have the highest abortion ratio. Black women’s abortion ratio has reached 459 abortions per 1,000 live births.

• Approximately 47 percent of the women who get an abortion each year in the US have also had a previous abortion.

The few statistics I provided are saddening and should break one’s heart. As a country and
as a people, we continue to murder several million precious little babies, created by God.
Psalm 139:13-16 assures us of Who gives life and when life begins. It reads: “For you created my inmost being: you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made: your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”
