So Today I’m thinking about how many good people die each year because of abortion. The question in my mind is why do I vote for either of the parties when neither of them outright abolishes abortion. While I know that a third party candidate would probably end abortion to their utmost, I feel we don’t think they can win. While I know one of the parties claims to be against it more, I don’t feel the numbers argue in either parties favor, I also know these numbers are not the total but only reported.
Thinking how many of those people would have grown into great people, or if not them then the children they would have birthed. While we may think who would take care of all these children, the fact is the more people we have in our world, the more jobs would be out there, more money we would be making, better the world would be with goods and services.
Anyhow, here is a list of the number of kids that didn’t get to make it into the world by year, I guess it is backlogged a bit, but it was the best organized I could find.
