Nationwide, over 50 million unborn babies have been killed since abortion was legalized by the January 22, 1973 Supreme Court decision – Roe v. Wade. Today, in this country, an unborn child can be legally killed for any reason throughout the entire nine months of pregnancy. A baby can be aborted because he or she is unwanted, inconvenient, possibly imperfect, or even the wrong sex. Each year, an estimated 1.5 million babies are killed by abortion – one baby every 20 seconds. In 2006, 12,246 unborn babies were aborted in Oregon, which is 235 a week, 33 a day.
