Between Two Worlds: January 2009

Number of Abortions Since 1973 The number of abortions performed in the US since 1973 is approach 50 million. An easy number to read, and a hard one to comprehend. The Mississippi Baptist Convention has sought to put together a visual reminder: the Memorial to the Missing (pictured to the right), being filled with 50 million pennies. Here's another way to try to get your mind around the number. If you add up the populations to the following states, they equal about 50 million. Kentucky Oregon Oklahoma Connecticut Iowa Mississippi Arkansas Kansas Utah Nevada New Mexico West Virginia Nebraska Idaho Maine New Hampshire Hawaii Rhode Island Montana Delaware South Dakota Alaska North Dakota Vermont Wyoming Proverbs 24:10-12: If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small. Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not repay man according to his work? HT: Justin Taylor Between Two Worlds: January 2009
