 My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
(Hosea 4:6)
January 22, 2011 marks the 38th anniversary of the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade, which legalized a woman’s right to choose an abortion.
 You may be surprised to learn some of the facts about abortion – particularly its sheer numbers and how deeply it has penetrated our culture. Thousands of American lives are lost each day to abortion. If you are prepared with solid facts, you’ll be better equipped to defend the cause of life.
