From the excellent blog, Protect the Pope:

Dr. Brian Clowes, director of education and research at Human Life International, has conducted research into the number of abortions worldwide since 1973. Dr Clowes estimates that there have been more than 1.72 billion abortions over the last 40 years. As Fr Shenan Boquet comments the killing of 1.72 billion children through abortion is ‘a trend that is not lessening but growing exponentially as more and more countries embrace and legalize contraception and abortion as methods of population control, which is always sold as “family planning” and “reproductive health.”

In China alone, there have been 336 million abortions, 196 million sterilizations and 403 million intrauterine devices since 1971. Simon Rabinovitch notes that Chinese doctors every year abort roughly 7 million babies, sterilize nearly 2 million men and women and insert 7 million IUDs, though precise numbers are hard to come by.
7 million children have been murdered in the UK since abortion was legalised in 1967.

Protect the Pope comment: Those Christians who support the killing of children through abortion have deluded themselves that the human race will not suffer the wrath of God for the murder of 1.72 billion children. These same Christians have created a neutered image of Jesus who is tolerant and accepting of all life-style choices, including mothers and fathers choosing to kill their own children in the womb. They ignore the fact that Our Lord Jesus Christ mentions hell more than any other figure in the Bible, and in continuity with the prophets of the Old Testament refers to the coming Day of the Lord, when judgement will be visited upon the human race.

Read the rest of it here.

I don’t see any indication that this figure includes chemical abortions through RU-486 and the like.

May God have mercy on us all.
 
Some say that the price that God extracted from the United States for the sin of slavery was the American Civil War … the War Between The States … that killed 500,000 Americans.

What price will God demand for the killing of nearly 2 billion babies by abortion?
 
Grace & Peace!

They would be wrong, Monte. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ definitively reveals to us the nature of God–that he is a God of Love and Mercy, not a God of Death and War. God’s justice is not a matter of killing people, it is a matter of restoration and of healing–the exaltation of the “low” and the restoration of the “proud” to their proper place. To impute to God’s justice the death toll of the Civil War or of any war is to buy into that old notion of “sacred violence” that forms the core of a religious practice and worldview that is best described in one word: idolatry.

What price would you like him to demand? What do you think would be sufficient? Do you imagine that there’s a particular number of additional deaths that could be settled on that could represent justice? And having settled on a number, do you think that a new death toll would actually reflect the nature of God as it is revealed by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ?

Sin is its own punishment. That is the horrible truth of the matter. Because the bottom line is this: sin is death. God has no part in death. To the extent that we have any part in death (i.e., violence of any sort), we have no part in God.

Under the Mercy,
Mark

All is Grace and Mercy! Deo Gratias!

I agree. We, as humans, mostly punish ourselves on this earth; often without directly intending it but by intending some bad thing as if it was a good thing. We’re very good at self-delusion when we think there’s something to gain in it. The Hebrews constructed a golden calf, thinking it would benefit them, but we have built too many to count.

And every idol exacts a price.
 
That number isn’t enough for those who seek to expand abortion.

Think of the heavy price(s) that the Israelites paid … captivity in Egypt for 400 years; the Babylonian captivity for nearly 100 years; occupation by and the destruction of the Temple by the Romans; not to mention all the tens of thousands killed in battle.

G*d promised them everything … and they turned their backs on Him.

Repeatedly.

But to believe that God chose for the Israelites to suffer, willed their suffering, or took part in bringing about their suffering is to make God like any other vindictive mythological deity who makes the demand: serve me or pay the price! But God isn’t the true God because he can be angrier or deadlier than a Baal or a Chemosh. If God is just an extreme form of some idol, then how does that make him true as opposed to just an extreme idol?

God does indeed promise us everything. We suffer when we turn our backs on God. But God never turns his back on us. Nor does God inflict on us some “holy” form of violence and death in order to (rather counter-intuitively) make us love him or turn back to him–that’s the behavior of an abusive husband, not God. In fact, the Passion of Christ shows that God chooses to suffer our violence and die at our hands rather than afflict us with scourges of “sacred violence.”

Under the Mercy,
Mark
