     CNSNews.com -The pro-abortion rights Alan Guttmacher Institute reports that there have been nearly 50 million abortions performed since 1973, the year the Supreme Court issued the Roe v. Wade decision ushering in legal abortion nationwide.  In 2008, Guttmacher says, there were 1.2 million "legally terminated pregnancies" in the United States, based on reports complied from state and local health agencies -- down from 1.3 million the year previous.
     According to Guttmacher, 35 percent of all U.S. women will have had an abortion by age 45.  Guttmacher also reports that 93 percent of all abortions occur for “social reasons” such as a mother’s decision that the child is unwanted or “inconvenient.” 

     CNSNews.com – Pro-life activist Dr. Alveda King, niece of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr, reacted recently to the removal of a billboard advertisement in Manhattan that featured a black girl and the statement “the most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb.”
     “It is an outrageous act of censorship that this billboard was taken down,” King said. “This billboard should be posted in every city of the country."
