Utrasound and a new poll on abortion...

(from FotF's Pastor's Weekly Breifing)

200th Ultrasound Machine Placed

The Option Ultrasound program, a ministry outreach of Focus on the Family, announced last week that more than 200 ultrasound machines have been placed in pregnancy resource centers since the project began in February 2004. As a result, thousands of women have chosen life for their preborn babies.

Option Ultrasound makes ultrasound technology and sonography training available to medical clinics that meet professional requirements. The hope is to place 650 units by 2010.

Kim Conroy, sanctity of human life director for Focus on the Family, said abortion-minded women have been given the chance to receive vital medical services. "Those who are considering abortion need to know the emotional and physical toll this procedure could have on them, and they deserve the chance to see their baby face to face before they make this life-changing decision," she said. "Women have been fed a lie by abortionists and deserve factual information regarding their pregnancies."

Conroy estimated that more than 6,300 babies have been saved after a mother viewed the image of her preborn child on the screen of an ultrasound machine placed by Option Ultrasound. In fact, 84 percent of abortion-minded women who received an ultrasound at a pregnancy resource center made a decision for life.

The majority of Americans (59%) believe abortion ends a human life, according to a new poll which was commissioned by the Associated Television News and published by Zogby International. The survey was based on responses from over 30,000 people in 48 states who were contacted between March 10-14. The report also revealed that 50 percent of those questioned believe life begins at conception.

A USA Today/CNN Gallup Poll done in January 2006 indicated that 66% of Americans do not wish the 1973 Roe vs Wade to be overturned. 25% of Americans said that they would. Moreover, the trend since 1989 shows that the number of Roe opponents has dropped from 31% to 25% today.

Abortion may be morally wrong, but opponents of abortion are outnumbered 2-1 in American society - and the number is getting bigger.

OSO,

That's what 33 years of Roe v. Wade has done to our country. Postmodernism hasn't helped those number either.
