DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know that taxpayers pay over 542 million to Planned Parenthood each year, which is one of the largest abortion businesses in the US?

Did you know that more than $16 trillion in federal revenue, roughly the size of our national debt, has been lost due to abortion? This comes from a research by Mark Olson (former liberal activist).

Did you know how many babies have been aborted in the world today? I have just checked http://www.numberofabortions.com/ which has a clock ticking and so far today there have been 64, 565 worldwide.

Did you know how many babies have been aborted in US since Roe vs. Wade in 1973? The clock tells us 57,058,511.7. Over 57 million!

What can we do? We have to do something! We can all do different things. Some of our older grandchildren and their friends have started picketing at an abortion clinic in the city. Both times they have been able to encourage a couple to change their mind about aborting and to keep their baby. This fills them with great joy. The organization they work with, http://cities4life.org/, continue to care for these mothers and couples, give them a Baby Shower, help to provide for them, and keep in touch.

You may not be able to get into the trenches in this manner, but you can speak up. Proverbs 31: 8, 9 says, "Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy." The NIV says, "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves."

We all must speak up. We can lovingly encourage a mother to keep her baby who may be thinking of abortion. We can speak up for life at every opportunity. We can sign petitions and give financially. But, most of all, we can pray. Pray together as a family.

When you get to read this post, go to http://www.numberofabortions.com/ and check how many have already been added to the count.

How long do we keep silent?
