breaking the silence

The album For Zion's Sake and the March of Life (previous post) is about breaking the silence of the holocaust. In relation to this, our Rabbi spoke of this generation's silence: abortion. About 6 million Jews were killed in the holocaust-horrific. But how does abortion compare?

Worldwide abortions from 1920-2006: 804,000,000 reported abortions, estimated 929,000,000 total abortions. We are nearing 100 MILLION abortions! Estimated current global monthly average: 1,202,000 abortions. Statistics from: Johnston's Archive.

Interesting to note countries with the most abortions:
China- 303,466,603 abortions
Russia- 292,513,720 abortions
Japan- 67,116,644 abortions
United States- 47,241,423 abortions

Is this not a tragedy? Could it be the great silence of our generation? And a silence that should be broken? Who will God hold accountable if we don't break the silence on abortion?
