This year the award-winning popular Christian band SONICFLOOd has signed on in support of the event.
In a press release, Rick Heil of SONICFLOOd said, “We are in full support of young people actively living out their faith by wearing a pro-life t-shirt and spreading the truth about the sanctity of human life. This is what it is all about – not being afraid to stand for the truth.”
According to stats from the American Life League, more than 3,500 babies are surgically aborted every day in America, and thousands more die by chemical abortions.
National Right to Life gives the following statistics about abortion in the United States:
- There have been over 48 million abortions since 1973.
- The annual number of abortions went from 744,600 in the first year of legalization, to a high of over 1.6 million in 1990. In 2003, there were 1,287,000.
- There were over 3,500 abortions per day in 2003, 146 per hour, about one every 25 seconds.
- For every 1,000 live births, there were 312 abortions in 2003.
- There were more that 148,000 second and third trimester abortions in 2003.
- In 2003, more children died from abortion than Americans died in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean, Vietnam and Gulf Wars combined.
- A 2004 survey of women seeking abortions indicated that only about 7% of women cited typical “hard cases” (rape, incest, or some health concern with either the baby or the mother) as the primary reason they were seeking abortion.
- An April 2004 Zogby Poll found that 56% of respondents support legal abortion in only three or fewer circumstances: when the pregnancy results from rape or incest, or when it threatens the life of the mother.
- At an average cost of $372, the abortion business is a $400 million a year industry.
- Nearly half of all abortions are obtained by women who have already had at least one abortion.
