Every day in America, abortion kills almost 4,000 unborn children... not because Americans hate babies, but because most Americans (by accident or by design) are ignorant of the facts. Even most Christians have no idea how clear cut the case against abortion is.
Tragically, this massive body of evidence has been largely buried by a well-connected (and well-funded) abortion industry. Public high schools and universities rarely talk of abortion (except in the abstract), and traditional news outlets help ensure that the debate centers on "choice" rather than abortion itself.
Adding to the problem is the fact that once someone has an abortion (or counsels someone else to the same end), they'll do almost anything to justify their decision, no matter how clear the evidence may be. Despite all of these obstacles, there is reason to hope.
When the evidence against abortion is presented clearly, thoroughly and systematically, to objective minds, opinions change.
Abort73.com is a one-of-a kind new website that is educating the very portion of the demographic which remains the most objective about abortion... American young people. Before you go any further, take a few moments to visit Abort73.com. Not only will it increase your own understanding of abortion, but it will also give you hope that abortion (like slavery before it) can be wiped off of the American landscape.
Once you've seen Abort73.com in person, ask yourself this question. What would the overall impact on abortion be if every high school and college student in America were to see this website?
Because students will never get this kind of information in the classroom, we've made it our goal, to have a presence on each of the roughly 22,000 high school campuses in America (not to mention the middle schools and colleges). To that end, we've produced a wide array of practical tools for pro-life students to employ in reaching their classmates. Abort73 T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, pens, stickers, postcards, DVD's and downloadable ipod videos make it possible for even a single student to have a significant campus impact. Along the way, these students will forge relationships with classmates they may have never otherwise met, giving them increased opportunities to share the gospel as well.
Of course, for all of this to take place, Christian students must first learn about the site, which will not happen without effective marketing and sufficient funding. To this end, we entreat you to prayerfully consider making a tax-free contribution in support of this unique new venture. It is truly unlike anything that has gone before it, offering the opportunity to educate a HUGE cross section of young people about abortion, without requiring prohibitive numbers of staff or resources.
There are all sorts of causes in the world today that call out for focused Christian attention and giving. For many of these causes, the world would applaud our involvement. Abortion is not one of them. Actively opposing abortion, in fact, may bring more scorn and criticism to the average American Christian than just about anything else. It is not a message the world wants to hear. Nevertheless, if Christians will not stand up and publicly declare of child-sacrifice, "This is wrong!", one begins to wonder if Christians will ever stand up for anything.
Babies are dying... The world is watching... What will you do?
