Thirty-eight years ago today, the U.S. Supreme Court decided in Roe vs Wadethat unrestricted abortion is protected by the U.S. Constitution. Since that time, the Illinois Department of Public Health has kept track of the number of unborn children aborted within Illinois borders.
According to the IDPH's numbers, we will likely reach the 2 million aborted babies' mark in 2011. Thus far, according to the departments chart, 1,907,081& procedures have been committed by Illinois abortionists since 1973.
