According to the Guttmacher Institute, the number of Americans aborted in 2008:
1,210,000So if my numbers are correct, that means that in one year we killed more Americans through abortion than have been killed in action in every war we have ever fought over 200 years.
If we are going to remember Americans who have lost their lives today, we should also remember the most innocent, sacrificed not for freedom and liberty but under the banner of "choice".

A startling reminder. Albeit tragic, very sobering.
May God have mercy on America.
