What is it about the Church’s belief that causes so many Christians to be willing to test the patience of their fellow citizens,
Abortion is a mountain that needs to be removed and cast into the sea. Every year, 40 million abortions occur around the globe, 800,000 and growing in the U.S. If abortion were a nation, New York State would be her capital.

An abortion represents a death. According to the World Health Organization, every year abortion robs life from an estimated 45 million preborn boys and girls globally; 800,000 in the U.S. and New York is the hub.
