The total population of the 50 largest US cities is approximately 44 million. Last week, I typed the name and population of each of these 50 cities on slips of paper for use in my junior high and high school classes.

I passed out the slips to my students, then each one came to the front of the room, read the city and population total and dropped the slip into a can. (I didn't tell them ahead of time what this exercise was about). After all the slips had been read, I told my students that the number of abortions performed in the USA since 1973 nearly equals the total population of the 50 largest US cities.

You should have seen the looks on their faces. It was a very sobering moment for us all.

Excellent. I am always inspired by viewing tens of thousands of young Americans Rockin for Life in DC. They see the world differently than many of their own parents.
