Dozens form a ‘Life Chain’ protest

Stretching east from the Circle in Downtown Greenville, on the north side of East Main almost as far as the eye could see, were dozens of protestors Sunday afternoon. Their message? Abortion kills children.

“We’re from St. Mary’s,” said one protestor, who added there was at least one other church involved in the protest that day. “We do this every year.”

Three signs were prevalent… Stop Abortion Now, Jesus Forgives and Abortion Kills Children.

According to Guttmacher Institute, nearly 50 million legal abortions were performed between 1973 and 2008, the latest year for which information is available. A little over one in five (22 percent) pregnancies end in abortion.

From a peak in 1980 of nearly 30 aborted pregnancies per 1,000 women aged 15-44, rates have declined to, but now remains steady at, just under 20 per 1,000 women each year.
