Although abortion rates in the U.S. are reportedly on the decline, it is still one of the leading causes of death, robbing the lives of an estimated 1 million U.S, babies annually. And a report from the UK Department of Health revealed that in 2017 — the most recent year on record for which the Department has revised abortion statistics — the number of abortions in the UK hit a 10-year high.
Later this week, thousands will gather in Washington D.C. for the 47th annual March for Life rally from January 22nd through the 24th. This year’s theme is “Life Empowers: Pro-Life is Pro-Woman,” reminding the nation that “abortion at its core also harms us women.”
