87,273

Any thoughts on what that number represents?

According to this article, that number represents the total number of babies that were aborted in 2009 in New York City. One in four pregnancies was aborted in the city.

This year, Sanctity of Human Life Sunday will be remembered on January 23, 2011. Here in the states, there will surely be conversation about abortion, as there always is around this time. It was January 22, 1973 in which the Roe vs. Wade decision was delivered.

I wish we valued life more. I hope and pray that we will be able to continue to reduce the number of abortions in the states as we seek to end the practice. Please pray with me.
