As the health care reform debate rages on, we have heard a lot about the millions of Americans without health insurance and limited access to the best health care money can provide.

What is missing from this debate is any attempt to address a medical procedure that kills more than 1.2 million American children every year.

H1N1 has killed nearly 100 children this year and makes headlines.

But nary a word in this debate about what will be done to prevent the deaths of more than 1.2 million American children at the hands of abortion doctors.

Four years ago Senator Hillary Clinton gave a speech on reproductive rights where she looked forward to a time when abortion would be “truly safe, legal and rare”.

To this day we have yet to hear what “rare” means.

Approximately 20% of all pregnancies in the United States ends in abortion.

1 out of every 5.

More than 1.2 million every year.

More than 5 million since Clinton gave that speech.

That sound rare to you?

What do we usually think of societies that kill the most helpless among us in the millions?

The Nazis killed 6 million Jews during a span of about 6 years… in that same span of years, we have killed more than 7 million.

Are we really OK with that?

From Thinkin’Bout Stuff July 17, 2009, Our Real National Shame:

Liberals like Barack Obama are fond of apologizing for all of the real and perceived past sins of our great country.  But one thing that they are not ashamed of, that they offer no apologies for, is the ongoing systematic destruction of our own children not yet born.

As science continues to improve and progress, we are seeing more and more evidence that human life begins well before birth.  To look at images of a precious child in the womb and claim that “it” is not a human, the most vulnerable among us and yet not deserving of any rights or protection, is a selfish denial of reality that leads to acceptance of a mass genocide that far surpasses any that we currently condemn as evil in history books.

What will be our legacy?  What will history have to say about our generation, about our country?  Ten, fifty, a hundred years from now, as it becomes painfully obvious what we have done, historians will not be kind to our generation.  We have far surpassed the sins of our fathers who enslaved.  Far surpassed the sins of our fathers who suppressed women.

We, our generation, has the blood of our own children on our hands.

This is not to say that those who have abortions or participate in abortions are evil… we have been told by our leaders that this is about choice, that these are not really humans, that they do not have the rights of a real human (sounding familiar?)…  if you believe what you are doing is right when you are doing it that does not make you a bad person.

But we now have evidence that our leaders are wrong.  These are real live humans that we are exterminating.  Unwanted pregnancies will likely always be a problem, but is this our final solution?

From this day forward, we have no excuse and history will judge us no better than the mass murderers of the past.
