Are you and the right to life crowd prepared to take personal responsibility for these 40 million lives you will save?

Actually I have already adopted twice. A boy from a mother who was going to have an abortion and recently a beautiful girl from South Korea. Ryan and Katie have been the most rewarding part of my 27 yrs of life. Although I can't do it all. It takes many loving people.

The most important thing is we need to remove abortion as an option. Since 1973, when abortion was federally legalized, child abuse has not decreased, child neglect has not decreased, and homicide against children has not decreased. Abortion has not solved these problems, but it very well may be feeding the ideology that leads to them. I know this is hard for most liberals to accept but we need to teach our kids personal responsibilty so that the idea of abortion hardly even comes up or is even seen as a reliable option. That alone could decrease abortions drastically. Will any of the women who do abort illegally ever die? It's possible (there are women who die each year from legal abortions), but the number of deaths will be no where near the 1.3 million people who are currently dying every year from legal abortions in the U.S. There are about 3,000 abortions performed every day 97% are due to "convenience" or "unwantedness". That means about 3% of all abortions are because the health of the mother.

That 40 million is already dead so we won't have to take care of them anyway. If abortion were illegal and we taught our children personal responability we wouldn't need to worry taking care of that many children anyway.

Adoption.com also reports that nearly 40% of American adults, or 81.5 million people, have considered adopting a child, and that a 1998 survey found that about 2 million women aged 18 to 44 had sought to adopt a child. Yes there is enough.

Your question might be than why aren't all these babies being adopted? The Alan Guttmacher Institute (AGI), the research arm of Planned Parenthood, estimates that there were 1.31 million abortions performed in the U.S. in the year 2000. The National Coalition of Abortion Providers tells us that the average 1st trimester abortion costs between $350-$650. The Women's Medical Center estimates that a 2nd trimester abortion costs up to $3000 (with the price increasing the further along the pregnancy goes). If we take a $500 average for 1st trimester abortions and use a $3000 average for 2nd and 3rd trimester abortions, here's what we get: $590 million are spent each year on first trimester abortions and $393 million are spent on late term abortions. That means that each year in the U.S., the abortion industry brings in approximately $983 million through their abortion services alone. If you add in the $250 million that Planned Parenthood (America's largest abortion provider) receives in government grants and contracts every year, the annual dollar amount moves well past 1 billion.

When Planned Parenthood argues that they're working hard to reduce the frequency of abortion, the fact remains that their financial livelihood is built on abortion. Planned Parenthood, then, is just like the big tobacco companies. Does anyone really believe that tobacco companies want people to stop smoking? Does anyone really believe that Planned Parenthood wants people to stop having abortions? Follow the money.
