The infamous decision has resulted in more than 43 million dead unborn children. Beyond those grisly numbers and the countless walking wounded Walking wounded is a term used in first aid and triage to indicate injured persons who are of a relatively low priority. These patients are conscious and breathing and usually have only (relatively) minor injuries; thus they are capable of walking. victims of abortion, the value of life has been dramatically cheapened. Almost weekly the sorry headlines assault the heart. A quick search of headlines reveals the depth of the problem: ``Woman who killed baby in microwave gets 5 years in prison''; ``Man sentenced in death of 5-month-old son''; ``Baby's body found in shallow grave''; ``4-month-old suffocated''; ``Man denies murdering baby''; ``Child left in van by sitter dies''; ``Father arrested in death of infant son''; ``Mother of baby found dead remains in jail''; ``Infant found dead in tribal septic septic /sep·tic/ (sep´tik) pertaining to sepsis. sep·tic adj. 1. Of, relating to, having the nature of, or affected by sepsis. 2. pool''; ``Teen admits role in death of newborn''; ``Tot tossed from car''; ``Infant's body found in laundry''; ``2nd dead newborn washes up on beach.'' ``A woman's right to choose,'' today a sacred right that held so much promise for the liberation, salvation of women, has become a cruel joke. A cruel joke on women because abortion devastates women both emotionally and physically. Recent examples include a Finnish government-funded study that found that women who abort (1) To exit a function or application without saving any data that has been changed.

Women are coerced and pushed to abort their babies by their boyfriends, husbands or fathers.

A nation weary of the pro-death Clinton administration Noun 1.
