Is This What Happens After Abortion? Whether you are for abortion or against abortion.
Here are some Abortion statistics;
Nearly half of pregnancies among American women are unintended, and four in 10 of these are terminated by abortion. Twenty-two percent of all pregnancies (excluding miscarriages) end in abortion. In 2005, 1.21 million abortions were performed, down from 1.31 million in 2000. From 1973 through 2005, more than 45 million legal abortions occurred.
At least half of American women will experience an unintended pregnancy by age 45, and, at current rates, about one-third will have had an abortion.

“This is a very controversial subject and one that I want to convey with as much sensitivity as possible. My intention is not to up set of offend anybody. Please accept my word.”
Dr. George Tiller, who remained one of the nation’s few providers of late-term abortions through decades of protests and attacks, has been shot and killed.
The gunman fled, but a 51-year-old suspect has been arrested, 170 miles away in suburban Kansas City three hours after the shooting.
Dr. Tiller’s who ran a “The Women’s Health Care Service Clinic” is one of just three in the nation where abortions are performed after the 21st week of pregnancy.
This is not the first time Dr. Tiller has been the victim of an attempted murder;
In 1993 Dr. Tiller was shot in both arms by a protester.
In 1985 his clinic was bombed.
More recently, Dr.Tiller had asked federal prosecutors to step up investigations of vandalism and other threats against the clinic out of fear that the incidents were increasing and that Dr.Tiller’s safety was in jeopardy. The police knew of no threats connected to this latest shooting.
In early May, Tiller had asked the FBI to investigate vandalism at his clinic, including cut wires to surveillance cameras and damage to the roof that sent rainwater pouring into the building.
The clinic was heavily fortified and Tiller often traveled with a bodyguard, it was reported that there were no indication of security at the church on Sunday.
Did this really need to happen?
