“it is February 7, 2008, in the land of the free and the home of the brave; and before the sun set today in America, almost 4,000 more defenseless, unborn children were killed by abortion on demand, and that's just today. That is more than the number of innocent American lives that we lost on September 11, only it happens every day. It has now been exactly 12,799 days since the tragic judicial fiat called Roe v. Wade was handed down. Since then the very foundation of this Nation has been stained by the blood of almost 50 million of our own children.

Thomas Jefferson said: "The care of human life and its happiness and not its destruction is the only object of good government."”
