What has been the biggest cause of bloodshed? In fact…
““What has been the biggest cause of bloodshed? In fact, what has been the leading cause of death, in America over the last thirty eight years? Murder? Approximately 700,000 persons have died homicidal deaths in that period. That’s a tragedy, certainly. Compare, however, the number of Americans who have died at the hands of a murderer, to the number of Americans in the last forty years who have died at the hands of abortionists – fifty five million.””
