"It’s pretty horrific, Patrick.
By God’s grace, Roe v. Wade was overturned four years ago now. But estimates from last year show that there were still over 1.1 million abortions in the United States alone. That amounts to about 3,000 children being killed every single day here in America.
You know, for those old enough to remember the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks — when the Twin Towers were taken down, the Pentagon was hit, and Flight 93 went down in Pennsylvania — the death toll was almost 3,000 people.
So every single day in America, we experience a death toll higher than September 11th through abortion.
And as you mentioned, these are not just statistics. These lives are not just numbers. Each child was a person made in the image of God, with special gifts and a unique calling.
In the Book of Isaiah, Isaiah says that he was called by God in the womb and formed by God in the womb to be the Lord’s servant.
Now, it can be easy to think, “Well, Isaiah was unique,” or to think about Gabriel coming down and speaking about John the Baptist and Jesus and assume they were exceptions.
But I believe the truth that we are formed by God in the womb to accomplish His purposes is true of every single person." - President & General Counsel at Reason for Life
