You came for stats, but you can leave with so much more! Here's a real brief invitation from our President (click picture below for short video).

Other interesting places on our site:

CFL distinguishes surgical from chemical abortion. Surgical abortion includes any procedure involving physical invasion of the body to kill a child; namely suction aspiration, dilation and curettage (D&C), dilation and evacuation (D&E), intravenously-induced abortion, dilation and extraction (also known as partial-birth abortion). Read more about surgical abortion procedures HERE. Chemical abortion includes drug-induced abortion from so-called “emergency contraception” or “the abortion pill,” RU-486. Read more about chemical abortion HERE.

Statistics for Comparison Purposes

Our statistics have been gleaned from a variety of sources. CFL is not liable for the accuracy of this data, though every attempt has been made to provide credible statistics from credible sources. Links are provided to substantiate all statistics, below, and for further research in each subject area. If nothing else, these stats compel us to weep in confession and repentance before the God and Author of life. CFL was formed, in part, because of the horrible facts reflected in the these statistics concerning people needing rescue. If you are not yet involved as a gospel-driven champion of life, please contact us (info@getintolife.org) to start your journey to being involved.
