Abortion Facts

What does unwed birthing mean?  It means that 90% of those unwed babies will grow up in broken homes to suffer terribly. About 85% of our prison population grew up in broken homes. Most of these babies will not ever experience marriage in their lifetimes.

Along the way to reaching adulthood, these children will have a six-fold greater incidence of poverty, very high rates of abuse & neglect, mental and physical illness, behavioral disorders, trauma & violence, school failure, and contact with the criminal justice system. As adults, their problems will continue and manifest in more unwed births, abortions, divorces, child abuse & neglect, suicides, and higher risk for homocides.  When they work, their citizenship, attendance and productivity will be lower than average, and their healthcare costs will be much higher, realities which discourage businesses when starting and locating in our region and in Michigan.

Michigan is the 8th largest state, but it is a welfare state.  The Friend of the Court manages one million cases under their supervision. There are 2.3 million children in Michigan.

Marriage is the answer, the most cost-effective medicine to transform Michigan into a thriving, healthy state.
