Abortion, as we know it today, may have not been commonplace in biblical days. Regardless, there were ways people could hurt or even kill an unborn child. God knew this, so he put forth laws in the bible to protect unborn children from violence.
The following verse is an example of the Bible protecting the unborn:
Exodus 21
22 “If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman’s husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. 23 But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
(NOTE:Any verse that calls for the death penalty is left for the governing officials and justice system to carry out. No one should ever take the law and the death penalty into their own hands, to do so would result in murder, not justice.)
This verse illustrates how God instructs the government to give an unborn child the same legal protection as an adult. When harm falls upon an unborn child, the child was important enough to warrant legal action against the guilty man.

This counter is designed to raise awareness of how many babies have died due to abortion. Anyone considering its numbers should look into why abortion is legal and how we can make it illegal. A majority of people believe abortion should be limited yet do not feel Roe v. Wade should be over turned. Perhaps they do not realize Roe .v Wade does not leave room for change.
It is the hope of CRN that everyone would stand against abortion in any case. Please, do your part to stand against abortion. Please visit, AmericanRightToLife.org/ more information and ways you can help.
* Numbers are estimated: From 1973 until 2000, there were about 37,331,273 legal abortions in America. By taking the number of seconds from Jan 1, 1973 and Dec 31, 2000 (which is 883,612,800 [60secs x 60mins x 24 hours x 365.25 days x 28 years]) and dividing by the number of abortions (37,331,273) during that time I found there is an abortion every 23.6 seconds.
I rounded that number down to 23, then found the number of seconds between 1/1/2001 and right now and divide that by 23 to find the number of abortions between 2001 and now. Since we know the number of Abortions before 2001, we take the estimated number of new abortions and add those together to get the total of abortions. Then every 23 seconds, add 1 to the total to keep the counter up to date.
This counter derives its numbers from AbortionNo.com and statistics found at BibleHelp.org. Based on these sites every 23 seconds there is another abortion in America.
