While these words hold truth in and of themselves, they nevertheless present an inaccurate picture. The theory that abortion prevents child abuse fuels the pro-choice beliefs of many Canadians, but the statistics have proven this theory to be false. Take a look at these statistics from the Child Welfare Branch of the Ministry of Human Resources, in Ontario, Canada (these are the totals reported from all provinces except PEI and includes physical, sexual and emotional abuse):
 In reality, many abused children are actually wanted children who later became unwanted. It is narrow-minded to suggest that the rates of child abuse have only appeared to worsen because abuse awareness and reporting has increased. Consider this: Even if abuse awareness and reporting have increased, all this proves is that child abuse rates are much worse than we used to think! It also, again, shows that legalized abortion has not decreased child abuse rates either. Do we honestly believe that a society which views its most helpless members as expendable are going to view them any less expendable after birth? Where is the logic in suggesting that abortion prevents child abuse when abortion itself is abuse; and the worst of all, for it permanently ends the life of the fetus. If we do not value a fetal child while she's still inside her mother's womb, why should we value that same child when she's two years old or five years old? In regards to infanticide, I have heard prochoicer says things like this: "If only that woman had had an abortion instead of giving birth, this tragedy could have been avoided." I can't help but shake my head in sadness. Why don't they realize that the fetus in the 1st trimester is the same person/individual as the full-term infant? "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness" (2 Corinthians 11:14-15).

Dr. Henry Morgentaler, recently awarded the "Order of Canada" (the highest Canadian honor), yet considered by many Canadians to be one of the most prolific murderers of the unborn, is a Polish Jew who survived the Auschwitz death camp. He refers to the Holocaust as the reason behind his "every child a wanted child" slogan. Morgentaler believes that one of the root causes of Hitler's genocide was "unwanted" abused children who grew up to embrace and practice Nazi philosophies out of hatred for their abusers. In June 2005, at the University of Western Ontario, Morgentaler was quoted as saying, "Well-loved children grow into adults who do not build concentration camps, do not rape and do not murder." ...
