Graduation season is upon us. A time of recognizing accomplishments, celebrating milestones and looking forward to futures filled with promise. In the midst of all this, let us not forget one very important truth. Over a million children per grade level throughout the nation would have been with us had they not been killed by abortion.

If you’re going to take on that line of reasoning, how many more people would there be in prison today too?
how many more people would there be in prison today too?
Hopefully all of the abortionists.
Zing!
Here is the last half of the quote, it gives us purpose and hope for the future.
… That is right. Over a million members of each graduating class this year have been legally destroyed! Let us take a moment to reflect in prayerful remembrance of our fellow students who have been lost from abortion. We do not condemn those who felt they had to do this. Rather we weep with them now. Join a respect life ministry. Donate to the “Gabriel Project.” And pray for the day when the most frail and vulnerable lives will enjoy the same protection the rest of us do. (JMJ)

joan,
You can’t assume that scared, hopeless, pregnant women are, for the most part, carrying criminals in their wombs, unless you believe that the majority also carry anti-social tendencies in their genes. I don’t believe that’s true and to suggest it is an affront to prisoners – who you think might be better off never to have been born.
not to mention that comment is an affront to the women who aborted.
Not to mention I take it as a personal insult to my daughter, who is the result of a crisis pregnancy that I was urged by many to abort. She’s an 8 year old girl with a grade 8.5 reading level, not a criminal for crying out loud. Give people the chance to be born. They might just surprise you.
“If you’re going to take on that line of reasoning, how many more people would there be in prison today too?”
So that’s what abortion is about! Decreasing the prison population! They should do a better job marketing it that way.
Yes, Joan, more people would be in prison today. But I like your line of reasoning. I think we should execute criminals preemptively in their mother’s wombs for crimes (capital or otherwise) that they would have committed somewhere down the road.
Your logic is as cold, perverted, and twisted as that of any serial killer.
So, exactly how many of your own little criminals have you aborted, Joan?
Get well soon.
Nice to hear about X’s daughter. I fully agree that we should give people-including our fellow human beings in utero- a chance at the life we enjoy.
That’s why I’m PRO-CHANCE!
I’ve never been aware of any authority in any jurisdiction at any level planning anything, allocating resources, creating infrastructure or anything else based on the number of conceptions. The whole ’empty chair’ thing is pretty much asinine.
“If you’re going to take on that line of reasoning, how many more people would there be in prison today too?”….Joan
First, you have just admitted something many choicers do not; namely, that an abortion kills a human being. In your mind it may be a bad human being, but a human being nonetheless.
Looking at numbers the answer to your question is it would probably be the same 1 in 100 that constitutes the current incarceration rate. I hope you don’t think killing 99 unborn babies that will live productive lives for every one that may end up in prison is reason enough to justify abortion. Just saying…there are a number of justifications given for abortion and this is probably the most vile.
And some of the very universities that are missing students helped their alumni make sure there are missing 20 years ago..

Joan has a point. She is not making any of the assertions that you anti-choice people are attributing to her comment…
If you guys are going to make the assertion that every single aborted fetus would have grown up to graduate then her point is valid. You know just on averages that not every single fetus would have graduated. I would be willing to bet that the number of them that did not graduate would be higher than the national average of kids that do not graduate simply because these were troubled pregnancies. Poverty, drug abuse, malnutrition, and just life styles that are not conducive to raising children are what lead to an unwanted pregnancy in the first place.
You guys seem to have this fantasy that all abortions kill a healthy fetus that would otherwise be born and live a wonderful life in the grace of god…. Well that fairy tale is simply not realistic and a bit juvenile really. Many of these fetuses would have been born addicted to drugs or with major birth defects from the mother abusing controlled substances during and before pregnancy. There are many reasons to abort a pregnancy other than the mother wants to have free sex anytime she wants, or she dosen’t want to ruin her figure…
This type of unrealistic statement is just further proof that you guys really have no idea why women have abortions, how most women think about abortions, and why so many of them have no regrets because it was the best decision at the time for them and the unborn fetus.
Bigzz@ “This type of unrealistic statement is just further proof that you guys really have no idea why women have abortions, how most women think about abortions, and why so many of them have no regrets because it was the best decision at the time for them and the unborn fetus.”
Actually this is not true. We are aware that statistically between 95% -99% (depending on which report you read) of abortions are done for “convenience” reasons, economic or social. Very few are for fetal abnormalities or because of addictions in the mother. Also, I don’t think it is realistic to say that people in the US wouldn’t graduate high school because of malnutrition. This is why schools have free lunch programs. If anything schools help the “malnutrition” problem.
The reality is that the huge majority of women who get abortions do it simply because they want to for social or economic reasons. And there are 53 million less Americans because they “want to” . Not because they are preventing overcrowded prisons or poverty or malnutrition or drug abuse.
Deanna,
Getting an abortion for social/economic reasons doesn’t necessarily preclude drug usage/addiction by the woman seeking said abortion.
Engima@ no it doesn’t but Bigzz was insinuating that perhaps a large number of these aborted children would not have graduated at all because of drugs, etc. It was a dumb argument.
