On this 39th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, we can only wonder how many more of these remembrances will we mark, how many more lives will be lost, how many more will stand up for the right to life before that fateful decision is overturned.
When Planned Parenthood recently released their annual report for last fiscal year (resource: Penny Starr, 1/3/12, www.cnsnews.com), the statistics listed over one billion dollars in assets, which included almost half a billion dollars in tax money. It also stated that the organization did over three hundred thousand abortions, marking a steady increase over the last few years.
Although they prefer to say that most of the government money (read: your tax dollars) goes to services other than abortion, the government money at the very least enables them to spend the money to do abortions without hurting their bottom line. As I like to say, “Follow the money.” If there wasn’t money to be made doing abortions, the number of them performed would drop drastically. And, if the philosophy of Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, was honestly evaluated, activists would make sure that it would be hounded out of business for that alone.
Along with the above statistics, the report also includes that the number of adoption referrals they do continue to decline – down almost 83% in recent years. That shows that they’re just not that interested in saving lives.
It’s hard to imagine how it grieves the Father over the millions lost. It’s not only those who would have been great leaders, great mothers, great writers, et.al., but those who would’ve been great friends, great workers, great neighbors and others, just like us. We can only wonder who is missing from our lives if their mothers had made a different choice.
