Recently, a statement I made on Facebook was openly challenged. Or, rather, a statement I reposted from Operation Rescue President Troy Newman, who, at a youth conference in California, stated: “We’re on the verge of the total annihilation of the abortion cartel.”
Now, I will admit, that is a very strong statement, and I can see why someone would want to question it. Total annihilation is pretty intense, as was the brief online conversation that it sparked. In the end, I think we agreed to disagree, but not before quickly scratching at what I took to be a very important question: As someone who does pro-life work for a career, do I live in a bubble? Meaning, do I only believe that there could be a true end to the abortion industry in this nation simply because I eat, sleep and breathe pro-life?
The question kind of gnawed away at me. So much so, that, after a few days, I decided I was going to need an answer. Is the abortion industry going down because my bias believes it, or, because the facts reveal it? To answer, I simply decided to take a quick look – a snapshot, if you will – at the month of March. About thirty minutes in, it became very apparent to me that I actually don’t live in a bubble, and that the abortion industry, even by its own admission, is not thriving.
Columbus, GA. — Diane Derzis, owner of the run-down abortion facility, Columbus Women’s Health Organization, is losing ground fast in Georgia, including the recent resignation of one of her main abortionists.
