Abortion ends the life of a baby, and over time the effects of abortion manifest in a number of ways in our world, including the lack of women in some countries due to sex-selective abortions. Now Serbia and South Africa face economic problems because of falling birthrates and abortion.

By some estimates, 21,000 children die of preventable illnesses every day, worldwide. Twenty-one thousand every single day. That’s a staggering number! But what if I told you that over 2,700 children will die in America today? And what if I told you that the government has passed legislation responsible for those deaths?
NIH Director Francis Collins has approved four more human embryonic stem cell lines as eligible for federal taxpayer funding. Embryonic stem cell research is controversial because human embryos (which many of us consider unborn children) are used. Their stem cells are harvested, causing the embryo to die, and those cells are then used for medical research.
The theory is that embryonic stem cells can be used to replicate other cells in the human body, and could lead to cures for diseases and disabilities. However, the actual results produced by embryonic stem cell research have been sketchy at best–especially compared to adult stem cell research, which does not involve killing any embryos.
