Killing Children In The U.S.

SEARCH BLOG: MURDER.

From The Huffington Post:
In 2011, guns were used to murder 8,583 people living in the U.S., according to the most recent FBI data available. Among those murdered by guns, there were 565 young people under the age of 18, and 119 children ages 12 or younger -- the latter number nearly equivalent to six Newtown mass shootings. And these figures include only homicides.
From NBC News:
Nearly all states report abortion numbers to the federal government, but it's voluntary. A few states — including California, which has the largest population and largest number of abortion providers — don't send in data. Experts believe there are more than 1 million abortions performed nationwide each year, but because of the incomplete reporting, the CDC had reports of about 785,000 in 2009.
So, let's put that into perspective.  In the U.S. there are over 1,000 times more children's lives extinguished by abortion than homicide and guess what "progressives" and "liberals" want banned?
