A new national study has been released stating that the number of abortions in this country are down to 1.2 million a year . It's estimated that the number of abortions has dropped by 25% compared to a 1990 survey which had the number of procedures at 1.6 million . So in other words we abort 400,000 fewer babies every year , and that its taken 18 years to get to this point . I don't want to sound pessimistic but that's not a statistic to get excited about . Only in 1976 were the number of abortions lower at 1.18 million . This new study also points out that the reason for the decrease in abortions is the availability of more effective and convenient contraceptives as opposed to abortion . Like i said i can't get excited about these figures . 1.2 million babies butchered every year makes the combat losses suffered in Afghanistan and Iraq not seem some bad . I've heard pro choice people argue that it's a woman's right to choose and that many of them are the victims of rape or incest and my favorite excuse that life doesn't begin at conception . True enough it is a woman's right to choose , but i find it difficult to believe that that much rape and incest occur . Granted i don't have the statistics in front of me , but i'm positive that 1.2 million rapes or incest does not happen every year in this country . Finally the excuse that life doesn't begin at conception . Well if not then when ? Again let me remind you i'm not a scientist , but the way i see it if life doesn't begin at conception then it's not going to begin at all . If there's no conception there's no life . I could be wrong .
