    Abortion From 1973 to 1987, over 22 million abortions have been performed. Pro-lifers would call that a terrible waste of humanlife.

    According to Operation Rescue, “There are approximately 1.21 million abortions in America each year”. Abortion is wrong because you are killing a baby that has no control on the choices you are making. You don’t have to take a babies life if you aren’t ready to have your own child.
