The Cost of Abortion

The following are just a few statistics compiled by Dr. Chris Kahlenborn and Dr. Brian Clowes of Human Life International. Dr. Chris Kahlenborn estimates that in the U.S. from 1973-2004 there has been 46 million induced abortions and 447 million chemical/mechanical abortions. Worldwide his estimates are 1.3 billion induced abortions and 1.7 billion chemical/mechanical abortions. This is a total of 3 billion, half the current population of the world! 1,197,533 Americans were killed in all wars from the American Revolution up to December 31, 2005. Monetary costs of all wars during this period: $1,066,562,000,000. (1.06 trillion dollars). Lives lost to abortion: 47.8 million (and remember that statistics were only available since 1973) The estimated monetary cost of abortion: $127,510,000,000,000. (127.51 trillion) Estimated taxes lost due to abortion $29,683,000,000,000. (29.6 trillion)

"Life will tragically end for the human race if we begin to decide who is worthy to live and who is not. When we begin to study the human life as something other than sacred, that is when all morals disappear, and we disappear with them."
