The United States marks 45 years of legalized abortion in all fifty states at any time for any reason throughout pregnancy on January 22nd, the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision. Since that time, there have been
an estimated 60,069,971 abortions that have destroyed the lives of unborn children.
A new analysis published by the National Right to Life Committee indicated there have been an estimated
60,069,971 abortions since the Supreme Court handed down its 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision allowing virtually unlimited abortions.
"Sixty million unborn children have died as a result of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions," said Carol Tobias, National Right to Life president.
"However, through the right-to-life movement's determination to protect mothers and their children, we continue to see evidence that our efforts to educate America about the unborn child's humanity, and our efforts to enact protective pro-life legislation, are having a tremendous impact in moving our nation away from Roe's and Doe's deadly legacy.".......
...The NRLC analysis shows abortion numbers rising in the 1970s and, in the 1980s, abortion eventually mainstreamed itself to the point that
about 1.55 million abortions were done annually until the early 1990s.
At that point, as crisis pregnancy centers began turning the corner with the use of ultrasounds, pro-life state legislation began to take hold
and the Internet allowed the pro-life perspective to flourish,
abortions began to decline. The partial-birth abortion ban and the use of 3-D and 4-D ultrasounds is also credited.
"After reaching a high of over 1.6 million in 1990, the number of abortions annually performed in the U.S.
has dropped back to levels not seen since the late 1970s," NRLC says.
"Abortion has taken a terrible toll on America. We've now lost more than 60 million of our sons, daughters, friends, and neighbors and we are a much poorer nation for it," O'Bannon said.
