- The leading cause of death in the black community since 1973 is abortion. It has taken over 13 million black lives (1/3 of the population) in the last 30 years. Although African Americans represent only 12% of the population of the United States, they account for 35% of the abortions performed in this country.2
- After the moment of fertilization nothing is added to the human embryo except nutrition and oxygen.3
- The percentage of women who have abortions because of rape is 1%.4
- The percentage of women who have abortions because of incest is less than 0.5%.5
- At 21 days after fertilization a baby's heart begins to beat.6
- 24% of pregnancies end in abortions. That means 1 out of every 4 babies is aborted.7
- By the time the baby is 6 weeks old, his or her brain waves can be detected by electroencephalogram.8
- Eugenic abortion is becoming increasingly popular. Medical researchers estimate that 80 percent or more of babies now prenatally diagnosed with Down Syndrome are aborted.9
