To Do the Greatest Good, End Abortion

If we wanted to the greatest good, and if we were to measure that good by number of lives saved, what one thing would we do?

End abortion.

It is said that 1.2 million lives in America are cut short each year through abortions. Perhaps you are aware that heart disease takes between 600,000 and 700,000 lives each year, and as a result, heart disease is known as the No. 1 cause of death.

If we could save them all those who die of heart disease, we surely would.

So, why should abortion be different? Why shouldn't we want to save the lives being lost to abortion? Babies are wonderful, and everyone loves them, and who would ever want to harm them? Without abortion, we could have 1.2 million more of them every year.

Why, if we could, would we not do everything possible so 1.2 million more babies could be born? Why, if we could, wouldn't we look at that 1.2 million babies' lives being lost, and say, We're not going to let this happen. Why wouldn't we do everything within our power to save these lives?

End abortion.

Ending abortion is the one greatest thing we, as a society, can do, if doing good is to be measured in terms of lives being saved.
