1.2 million is NOT a small number

According to a new report by the Guttmacher Institute, "the number of abortions being performed in the United States has dropped to 1.2 million a year-the lowest level since 1976." (Boston Globe, "Number of abortions lowest in decades")

Although, this blog is glad that abortions are down, this is still very disturbing. People are hailing this as such a small number. Think about it! 1.2 million is a lot of people to be killed every year because of irresponsibility and reckless behavior. Not surprisingly, abortion rates tend to be higher in the Northeast, where morals are loose and ethical standards can't be found.
