In considering the impact of abortion on our society, let’s look at some figures as to what has actually happened in the last twenty years. We have reliable figures indicating that in 1963, long before abortion became legalized by the infamous Roe v. Wade decision, there were approximately 100,000 illegal abortions done annually in the United States—and very few legal abortions. In 1973, the first year in which that Roe v. Wade decision prevailed in this county, there were 750,000 abortions done. And in 1983, the last year for which we have full and complete figures, there were 1.5 million abortions.
