Letter to the Editor:

After 40 years of legalized abortion, (Roe vs. Wade), I think it is good to look at some facts:

267,926 babies in Iowa have been killed by abortion since Roe.

55 million babies have been killed by abortion in the United States since Roe.

Every 26 seconds a child is killed by abortion in the United States.

13 children per day are killed by Planned Parenthood in Iowa.

In Iowa, in just 4 years, Planned Parenthood has expanded its abortion locations from 7 to 14.

12% of abortions in Iowa are black babies though black people make up only 3.1% of Iowa’s population.

77% of abortions in Iowa are white babies when white people make up 93% of the population.

Planned Parenthood makes an estimated $2.6 million a year from abortions in Iowa.

Planned Parenthood did 5,828 more abortions than there were adoptions in Iowa last year.

Almost 60% of abortions in Iowa are on women in their 20’s.

40 years of our country having little discernment of right and wrong, good and evil. 40 years of dishonoring a Creator and His creations. 40 years of sin and its consequences. 40 years of damaged women believing a lie and now hurting more than ever. 40 years of stopping a tiny beating heart.

Grieving the slaughter of God’s precious children.
