A heartbreaking reminder about the prevalence of abortion, statistics compiled by Worldometers (worldometers.info/) indicate that there were nearly 42 million abortions worldwide in Breitbart News contrasted the abortion numbers to other causes of death, including cancer, HIV/AIDS, traffic accidents and suicide, and found that abortion far outnumbered every other cause. Lifenews CHURCH TEACHING. The Commandment You shall not kill, even in its more positive aspects of respecting, loving, and promoting human life, is binding on every individual human being. It resounds in the moral conscience of everyone as an irrepressible echo of the original covenant of God the Creator with mankind It is therefore a service of love which we are all committed to ensure our neighbor, that his or her life may always be defended and promoted, especially when it is weak or threatened. It is not only a personal but a social concern which we must all foster: a concern to make unconditional respect for human life the foundation of a renewed society. St. John Paul II Evangelium Vitae (Gospel of Life) Ed Cecil, Respect Life Committee
