The latest Center for Disease Control (CDC) data, which totals the number of abortions nationwide, was recently released showing that during the years President George W. Bush was in office abortions declined. This finding is backed by the Guttmacher Institute’s own findings showing a decrease in the number of abortions between 2001-2009. (The Guttmacher Institute is the former research arm of Planned Parenthood.)

As we work diligently to fully restore legal protection for unborn children, we can celebrate the effect pro-life legislation and educational efforts are having right now in saving lives.

This data reaffirms why we need a pro-life president in the White House to sign protective legislation for unborn children and to veto bills, which threaten innocent human life. Getting active in 2012 will be crucial for pro-life advocates. Life depends on it.
