31 Nobel Laureates Killed in the Womb.

The Heisman Trophy is one of the greatest honors in the sporting world.

This year's winner -- only a sophomore -- was almost aborted in the womb.

Tim Tebow now attends the University of Florida, his 6'3, 235 lb frame a real blessing to Gator football. It is difficult to imagine that Tebow was a "risky baby," and that doctors encouraged his mother to abort him.

Carrying Tim to term could have threatened his mother's life, yet she elected to try and bring him into the world. I cannot say that I would have the strength to make such a decision myself. I only know that Mrs. Tebow is a woman of great strength and faith, and that her faith was rewarded with a gift to her family, sports fans, and pro-lifers everywhere.

Liberals and Pro-Deathers are VERY quick to cite exceptions to the rule, justifying Roe-v-Wade by bringing up instances of rape, incest, and medical concerns. They are willing to justify the slaughter -- nay, genocide -- of an entire generation, all in the name of a statistical minority. They ignore the health risks, psychological risks, and social costs of abortion, all in the name of exceptions of the rule.

Tim Tebow is the statistical minority for Pro-Lifers. From now on, whenever a Pro-Death supporter cites such exceptions to the rule, I will cite Tim Tebow.

What other great athletes, artists, scientists, and leaders have been aborted out of fear or convenience? What kind of nation can legalize and subsidize the living dismemberment of their most vulnerable citizens?

FULLY ONE-THIRD of conceived children have been aborted since 1973. Hence, my use of the word "genocide."

Fr. Thomas Eutenheuer writes:
"Dr. Brian Clowes, HLI researcher, has examined the data from the 2007 Statistical Abstract of the United States (most recent census data) and extrapolated the numbers of the various professions and categories of Americans who have been eliminated in the wake of nearly 49 million legalized abortions, one third of all Americans conceived since 1973. The following numbers are based on the actual government estimates of the professions represented in America. So then, who have we lost to abortion?

* 2 US Presidents
* 7 Supreme Court Justices
* 102 US Senators and 589 Congressmen
* 8,123 Federal, district and local court judges
* 31 Nobel Prize laureates
* 328 Olympic medalists including 123 Gold medalists
* 6,092 professional athletes
* 134,841 physicians and surgeons
* 392,500 registered nurses
* 70,669 priests, ministers, rabbis and imams including
* 6,852 priests and 11,010 nuns (vocations “shortage”?)
* 1,102,443 teachers (K-12)
* 553,821 truck drivers
* 224,518 maids and housekeepers
* 336,939 janitors
* 134,028 farmers and ranchers
* 109,984 police officers and sheriff’s deputies
* 39,477 firefighters
* 17,221 barbers, and
* 24,450,000…women (the gender of roughly half of all children aborted).

These numbers of course are only the tip of the iceberg. Keep in mind that we get our statistics about abortion from the abortion industry itself which has a vested interest in under-reporting the numbers. Likewise, these categories are only a few of the professions that Americans actually work in and are by no means a full portrayal of the total American workforce. What they represent, however, is the immense human toll that abortion takes on a society. Abortion-promoters present abortion as an exclusively private choice, but thirty-five years of abortion exposes the perniciousness of that lie. There is a social toll that comes from abortion which cannot easily be corrected."

Thank you, Father -- you have clearly shown that abortion is not a "personal choice," but a pariah which has drastically affected our nation. In an age where America is finding it increasingly difficult to compete and maintain her world-status, how much is abortion to blame?

Many European countries have suffered intellectual vacuum due to the mass killings of the Second World War. In America, we have thanked God for our peace and security by creating a killing field that only Stalin eclipsed during the 20th century.

The witness of Mrs. Tebow is one to be wondered at and immitated. Thank you for your strength and faith, and thank you for the witness of your son.

Thank you for this powerful text. One of those saved from death in their mothers' wombs was also Ludwig van Beethoven.

Mark,

Thanks for that post. It was incredibly eye-opening to be able to see how many have been lost, NOT only, in numbers, but also in terms of status and vocations....

it's deeply saddening to me to see someone go through with abortion, not truly realizing who it is that presides within them. =(.

thank you.

BTW, did you know that on the very day Roe v. Wade was ruled, president Johnson also died? Now obviously we can call it an odd coincidence, but it kind of gets you thinking, doesn't it..
