How Many Children Died Today?

According to this article from CNSNews, "Swine flu has claimed the lives of at least 114 children in the United States since April, according to the latest data available from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). But an estimated 2,247 to 3,305 babies lose their lives to abortion each day... [emphasis mine]." While the loss of those 114 is tragic, especially for their families, they are deaths beyond the control of the parents. This isn't true of the babies lost to abortion. While the nation is in a panic over swine flu deaths, abortion has become so common that it elicits yawns rather than sorrow. The article concludes with this statement:
Brian Clowes, director of research at Human Life International, told CNSNews.com that while it is "sad" that 114 children have died from the H1N1 virus since April, the contrast is overwhelming. 

“Over that same seven months, over 700,000 pre-born human beings have been killed legally by abortion in the United States,” Clowes said. “Yet we tolerate the death toll from abortion because we have come to believe, contrary to science and every mother’s experience, that the unborn human being really isn’t a human being.” 

Clowes added: “This staggering inconsistency hardly even shocks us anymore, as the latest ‘pandemic’ never even begins to reach the death toll that we have grown to tolerate from legalized abortion.  Ignoring the by-far-largest killer of children in favor of the latest fashionable panic goes beyond mere irony; it speaks of a deep societal sickness that we can hardly comprehend because it is so pervasive.”

    This goes right along with the total hypocrisy of Nancy Pelosi at her inauguration as Speaker of the House. She surrounded herself with her grandchildren, portraying herself as the kindly grandmother who would now be in charge of the House of Representatives. She can only be thankful that they were there because they had survived her abortion policy. Additionally, our nation certainly has its economic and cultural woes now. We sweat over the failure of Social Security, as number of workers supporting each retiree steadily declines, from an original ratio of approx 17:1 to the present approx 2.5:1. This is because we have aborted a generation of workers out of our midst. If we take $2,000,000 as an average lifetime income ($50,000 per year x 40 years) and multiply it by the 45,000,000 abortions perpetrated since 1973, that comes to a staggering $90 TRILLION dollars we have aborted out of our economy. Additionally, it means we are now having to depend on immigrant labor. This is one reason our border with Mexico was not closed air-tight after 9/11. It is also fueling the issue of multiculturalism (cultural relativism), which is undermining our very understanding of truth, itself. We think that we have to accept all peoples' world-views as equally valid in order to consider the people equally valuable. This is eroding our Judaeo-Christian heritage and the moral fabric of our society at an alarming rate. This is exactly what happened in the Roman Empire. Since they practiced both abortion and infanticide, their workforce also dwindled. And, as they accepted more and more foreign invaders into their population to replete their workforce, their culture deteriorated eventually collapsed. We should take heed!
