Stating the Statitics

My younger brother who is only 15, a sophomore in highschool, came home the other day and started telling me about a girl he used to go to elementary school with.  He had said she had already had her second abortion, and she is only 15 years old as well.  I honestly didn't even know how to respond.  She had an abortion her freshman year of highschool and now just a year later.  I have always thought abortion in the first place was just appalling, but hearing that someone this young has had not just one, but two, has really blown me out of the water. 

Looking at the statistics of abortion, everything sort of bothered me, but a few statistics stuck out greatly to me. I had found that about 22% of all abortions happens to teens under the age of 20.  That's like children killing children, which absolutely sounds awful to me. Even though Catholics are trying so hard to fight abortion, Catholic women account for over 30% of the women who have abortions each year.  What I find shocking is that 93% of abortions are made for social reasons.  The other small percentages are because of rape and incest, and because of serious health problems occurring to the mother becasue of the pregnancy.  To me, its crazy how many women in our own country are willing to kill off their own child for the sake of their social life.  I have always thought that bearing the grief and guilt of killing your child is a million times worse than carrying a child for 9 months and feeling embarrassed by that for the shorter period of time. 
The last statistic that really scared me was that there are over 3,700 abortions per day.  Per day... All over our country every day, close to 4,000 murders are happening everwhere and no one even gives that a second thought that this is murder of children.
Seeing these statistics have really shocked me, and I wish only for numbers like these to go down with time.
