200th Ultrasound Machine Placed
The Option Ultrasound program, a ministry outreach of Focus on the Family, announced last week that more than 200 ultrasound machines have been placed in pregnancy resource centers since the project began in February 2004. As a result, thousands of women have chosen life for their preborn babies.
Option Ultrasound makes ultrasound technology and sonography training available to medical clinics that meet professional requirements. The hope is to place 650 units by 2010.
Kim Conroy, sanctity of human life director for Focus on the Family, said abortion-minded women have been given the chance to receive vital medical services. “Those who are considering abortion need to know the emotional and physical toll this procedure could have on them, and they deserve the chance to see their baby face to face before they make this life-changing decision,” she said. “Women have been fed a lie by abortionists and deserve factual information regarding their pregnancies.”
Conroy estimated that more than 6,300 babies have been saved after a mother viewed the image of her preborn child on the screen of an ultrasound machine placed by Option Ultrasound. In fact, 84 percent of abortion-minded women who received an ultrasound at a pregnancy resource center made a decision for life.

One Salient Oversight
A USA Today/CNN Gallup Poll done in January 2006 indicated that 66% of Americans do not wish the 1973 Roe vs Wade to be overturned. 25% of Americans said that they would. Moreover, the trend since 1989 shows that the number of Roe opponents has dropped from 31% to 25% today.
Abortion may be morally wrong, but opponents of abortion are outnumbered 2-1 in American society - and the number is getting bigger.

OSO,
That’s what 33 years of Roe v. Wade has done to our country. Postmodernism hasn’t helped those number either.
