Summary: A shocking and powerful reminder of the 28,000 children who are aborted in America every week.
1. Did you hear the latest news?
a. We lost 4000 soldiers yesterday.
b. We are expected to lose 28,000 by week’s end.
2. No, I’m not talking about the war in the Middle East.
a. I’m talking about the 4,000 babies that are aborted everyday.
3. It’s amazing to see the shock on some people’s faces when they think about these losses as American Troops.
a. What scares me is when we aren’t as shocked about losing 4,000 innocent children everyday.
4. Our once great nation today has a sickness: here are the symptoms
a. We today have a Governor in America who will boldly proclaim that religion is a crutch for weak people
b. We today use prayer for when we are sick, when we want to win a ballgame, or a lottery.
c. In the 1960’s Our American courts decided that it wasn’t proper to acknowledge God in our public schools.
d. Evolution has become our religion of choice.
e. Our value system has turned from us, us, and us to me, me, and me.
f. Our “Golden rule” is no longer, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”; Today’s Golden Rule is what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine.
5. And our most crowning achievement came on January 22, 1973. Roe v Wade was a 7-2 Supreme Court decision to begin the mass murder of innocent children.
a. Every day 4,000 unborn children are aborted. Since killing children was legalized in 1973, forty million babies have died.
6. What are some of the arguments for Abortion today?
7. Well, sometimes it is necessary to save the life of the mother
a. C. Everett Koop says that in his thirty-five years in medicine he has never seen one case where abortion was necessary to save a mother’s life.
8. Some say it’s not human until it is born. Interestingly enough what does Doctor Luke say about the subject? Luke 1:41- “and it came to pass that, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb.
9. Some might argue that the child might have possible physical or mental defects that would hinder it. For example

9. Some might argue that the child might have possible physical or mental defects that would hinder it. For example
a. If a man has Syphilis and his wife has tuberculosis, and they had four children, one of which has already died, and the other three have what is considered a terminal illness. What would you say to do with the child she is currently pregnant with? A particular college class discussed this topic and decided that the mother should abort the child. To which the professor replied, “You’ve just killed Beethoven”.
