The Abortion Bomb

Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life recently stirred up a hornet’s nest among pro-aborts by saying that the abortion toll was as if “several atomic bombs have already gone off.”
That was perhaps the understatement of the year.
Here at Movement for a Better America, we've been using the A-bomb comparison for twenty years, starting with our 1996 video called "The Abortion Bomb."
Back then, our ad campaign compared abortion to “wiping out the entire population of our 40 largest cities.” The ads brought replies from all 50 states and from as far away as Moscow, Rome, and Australia.
Since then, the abortion toll has soared. By Election Day this year, the U.S. abortion toll will reach 60 million – which is equal to the entire population of our 87 largest cities from New York all the way down to cities the size of Winston-Salem, N.C.
That’s far beyond the devastation visited on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, where 30% of the people were killed. In fact, 60 million abortions is 428 times as many people as died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It’s as if two-thirds of our entire country had suffered a nuclear holocaust.
And for those who don't like comparing abortion to the A-Bomb, how about 9/11? Three thousand innocent lives were taken that day in an attack that struck terror in the hearts of America. Yet we continue to abort 3,000 innocent unborn Americans every day. Do the math: 60 million abortions are like 20,000 9/11's!
Sadly, we still have pro-abortion politicians who think 60 million abortions are not nearly enough. They defend federal funding for abortion, and insist on subsidizing Planned Parenthood to the tune of $550 million a year. That’s $1600 for every abortion Planned Parenthood performs!
In fact, the abortion toll is far worse even than all the battle deaths suffered by our military in World War II. Back then, we had 16 million men and women in uniform, but the casualty rate for battle deaths throughout the entire war was just 1.8%.
By comparison, we've aborted 30% of our entire younger generation -- Gen X, Y and Z. That’s 16 times greater than our casualty rate in World War II. Altogether, we suffered 291,557 battle deaths in that war. The abortion toll since 1967 is 206 times that number!
Let’s face it, abortion is far more dangerous than going to war.
