What Makes Abortion Plausible? What Makes Abortion Unthinkable?, Part Two

Since January 1973, there have been over 45 million abortions in America, perhaps even as many as 50 million. You are talking about a missing population in those 36 years, a number larger than the population of most nations on this earth. You are talking about a missing generation in all those years from 1973 to the present that adds up to an enormous population of persons whose non-existence, in terms of their earthly life, is perhaps the greatest shame of this nation.

The issue of abortion is a live issue right now because in the coming days abortion is likely to be in the headlines of this country. In the changing of Presidential administrations, decisions are made and policies are changed. We are going to have one of the most controversial issues of our day – and that is the way the media will speak of it – bring forth its controversy once again.

But before abortion brings controversy among us, it must first bring shame and pain and anguish, as in the Bible: “Rachel weeps for her children.” (Al Mohler)
