Only the facts quoted by the experts.

Since 1973 over 55 million surgical abortions have been performed in the United States. The death toll from abortion is more than all the casualties put together from the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, and Iraq War.1

Abortion is the leading cause of death among African Americans. In fact, you can stack deaths from HIV-AIDS, violent crime, accidents, cancer and heart disease one on top of the other and still not come close to the 16 million black babies that have died by abortion.2,3,4

Although African women account for 37% of all abortions, they only make up 12.7% of the female population.5,6

After the moment of fertilization nothing is added to the human embryo except nutrition and oxygen.7

The percentage of women who have abortions because of rape is 1%.8

The percentage of women who have abortions because of incest is less than 0.5%.9

At 21 days after fertilization a baby's heart begins to beat.10

22% of pregnancies end in abortions. That means 1 out of every 4 babies is aborted.11

By the time the baby is 6 weeks old, his or her brain waves can be detected by electroencephalogram.12

Eugenic abortion is becoming increasingly popular. Medical researchers estimate that 80 percent or more of babies now prenatally diagnosed with Down Syndrome are aborted.13
