Abortion and War

From its founding to the year 2000, the United States engaged in seven major wars: the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the first and second World Wars, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the first Gulf War. The total number of deaths from those wars add up to nearly 1.5 million. The Alan Guttmacher Institute, the research arm of Planned Parenthood, reports that the number of abortions from 1981 to 2005 varied between 1.6 million and 1.2 million per year. This means that in two years, abortion kills nearly a million more people than those who died in all of America's conflicts for the first 200 years of that nation's existence. This comparison only considers the babies who died; millions of mothers also suffer physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational damage due to abortion.

Abortion is civil war on an unprecedented scale. May Swaziland never allow the destruction of its own women and children through abortion. May Swaziland build a culture of life.
