6,587,650

Ok...take a look at that number for a second. Just say it out loud, six million, five hundred eighty seven thousand, six hundred and fifty. What on Earth does it mean you ask?

That my friends, is the number of children who have died from abortion since the start of the Iraq war. Simply staggering. Mind numbing even.

In this age pf politicizing almost each and every thing we do in life, that number somehow has escaped our culture. We hear each and every day about more and more deaths of our soldiers in Iraq and the ever rising death count in this war. Each and every loss of life in a war is tragic, no matter what your opinion of the war is. Every soldier and their family is to be commended and respected for their great sacrifice.

But, just take a look at that number again. That number is all the more staggering when you consider that it has barely been five years since the war began. It equals out to over 1.1 million babies being aborted per year. You can think what you want about abortion and its legalities, but if you can honestly look at that number, actually put with it the fact that each one represents a life lost, it has to sadden you.

I could go on and on about the number and abortion itself, but to me, the number alone...speaks volumes.

More updates on big changes in my life later
