550,000 times in this new year, a woman will NOT have an abortion that would have occurred 25 years ago.
That’s right: In 1990, there were 1,610,000 abortions in the United States. Today, there are about 1,058,000 each year. Both are tragic statistics.
But the newer number represents 1,500 innocent baby girls and boys saved from abortion each and every day. More than 60 saved every hour. A baby saved every minute!
Our work succeeds one precious baby at a time; remember, it took almost 90 years for the movement to end slavery in the United States to reach its full fruition – the banning of slavery in all parts of the United States in 1865. It’s worth noting as we begin this new year that 2015 will be the 150th anniversary of the 13th Amendment that recognized the right of ALL Americans to live free of bondage.
Many smaller victories were won on the way in those 90 years, and the victories of the Right to Life movement have accelerated in recent years to give us this huge drop in abortions.
2015 promises to be an even better year, as newly elected pro-life officials will give unborn babies a stronger voice in Congress and in state legislatures. They will help us continue to drive the number of abortions down . . . until we have our own great day, when every baby is safe from the pain and loss of abortion.
Please help us get a great start to this important year in the Right to Life movement with a generous donation and help us reach more Americans with the message of life, pass more pro-life legislation, touch more women’s hearts and minds to choose life for their babies, and save even more unborn babies one precious baby at a time.
2015 can be a great year in the history of our movement . . . and a joyful birth year for a deserving little boy or girl.
Carol Tobias,
National Right to Life President
