One of the things that's the hardest to understand about atrocities like the Holocaust or the Rwanda genocide or other ethnic "cleansing" atrocities is the question of how the ordinary, uninvolved citizen allowed it to happen. When your neighbors are being pulled into the streets and butchered or hauled off by police and never returning, how do you just go on with your life? It's difficult to comprehend how those people just sat back and allowed it to happen when we are now part of one of the most civil societies known to man.
So, that's pretty depressing, huh? Sounds like those of us who see unborn babies as people are now in the minority.
That should even make pro-choicers sick. That means that millions of people who recognize a yet- to-be-born baby as a person couldn't be bothered to go draw a line on a piece of paper to possibly save those little people's lives.
Let's look at those numbers for a second. The population of the USA today is 311 million, so if 50% of Americans are pro-life, that comes to about 155 million. And, according to the Center for the Study of the American Electorate, about 126 million out the 311 million Americans voted. 38% of the 126 million voters would equal roughly 48 million pro-life voters.
