It may be time to change our motto. We may have to give up "God bless America" It may be time to write a new song. My recommendation is that we trade it in for "God Help America" or better yet "God have mercy on us all." The Guttmacher Institute is a division of Planned Parenthood. In January 2011, the Guttmacher Institute reported: a.) 1.21 million abortions in the US in 2008. The number of abortions from 2005 - 2008 has remained the same; b.) 5.3% of abortions in the US occurred from week 16 of pregnancy to week 32; c.) From 1973 to 2008, more than 50 million legal abortions occurred in the US; and d.) Medication abortion (mifepristone) accounted for one quarter of all abortions before 9 weeks gestation in the US in 2008. US STUDY on abortions: http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/fb_induced_abortion.pdf Can we really expect God to bless a nation that murders its unborn? Another recent study has shown that abortions were up for the first time in years because when the economy is good the number of abortions goes down. Is this country so debauched, so degenerate, so perverse that the strength of the dollar is sufficient reason to kill babies? We need to change our motto. I vote for "God have mercy on America," because the alternative is "May God reward America according to its works." and I don't think any of us could survive that.
