Sobering. Chilling. Horrifying. There's really no other way to describe the statistics just released by the Health Department: 41 percent of all pregnancies in New York City end in abortion. That's right. You didn't read it wrong. Forty. One. Percent. And, in the case of minorities, the figure jumps to 60 percent. More than half of all minority babies in New York City were aborted in 2009. If that doesn't make people stand up and take notice, I don't know what will.
For more, watch the video above, which features Archbishop Dolan, although you'll have to deal with the opposing side insisting that what's needed is more of the same. You've been warned.

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.
