The Missing Children
A United Nations study concludes that
"the size of The Family is shrinking all over the world because women in most
countries want fewer children."34 One reason for reduced family size is the
radical increase in the number of abortions performed in recent years. Despite the fact
that modern fetology has made it evident that human life begins at conception, worldwide
over 30 million unborn children’s lives are snuffed out every year. The Bible
says, "In thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I [God]
have not found it by secret search, but upon all these" (Jeremiah 2:34). |
A mother’s love for her infant has
always been considered as pure and natural as can be. Reuter reports that "women
around the world are having fewer children and are ending more than a quarter of all
pregnancies in abortion."35
There are currently 1.6 million abortions
carried out in the U.S. each year. That means that every day in the U.S. over 4,300 unborn
babies are killed. It is estimated that more than 46 percent of American women will have
had an abortion by the time they are 45.36
Previous generations would be appalled by such
statistics, but not ours. Surely the predicted days have arrived when hearts would grow
cold and natural affection would fade away.
