Sobering Numbers

  • Population of Haiti: 10,000,000
  • Hurricane Katrina death toll: 1836
  • 9/11 death toll: 2974
  • Hiroshima and Nagasaki death toll: 200,000
  • Military death toll of U. S. Civil War: 620,000
  • Military death toll of World War II: 25,000,000
  • U.S. abortion death toll since Roe v. Wade was passed on this day in 1973: 52,000,000
Shocking. Evil.

I recently read a most insightful book called "Won by Love". The author of the book is Norma McCorvey, who is actually the "Roe" in the famous court case that legalized abortion, Roe v Wade. She was a pawn in the hands of powerful and evil lawyers. To my surprise, she never had an abortion, never even wanted an abortion! You can read about the book here. It is a shocking, powerful and encouraging story. I very often think of the fact that Norma's eventual salvation came, in part, from the friendship and love of a little girl. A little girls whose mother worked at Operation Rescue, which moved in next door to the abortion facility Norma was working at. This mother's trust in her God to protect her child was as encouraging to me as was the salvation of Norma, the poster child for abortion. Read it for yourself and see and pass it on for others to be encouraged! PS. I saw some copies of the book for only $ .99 on Amazon.
