The Guttmacher Institute wrote in a report earlier this week:
New findings from the Monthly Abortion Provision Study show that an estimated 1,026,690 abortions occurred in the formal health care system in 2023, the first full calendar year after the US Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturned Roe v. Wade. This represents a rate of 15.7 abortions per 1,000 women of reproductive age, and is a 10% increase since 2020, the last year for which comprehensive estimates are available. It is also the highest number and rate measured in the United States in over a decade.
This increase demonstrates that people continue to seek and obtain abortion care despite the drastic reduction in abortion access in many states. Since the Dobbs decision, in 2022, 14 states have banned abortion with limited exceptions. In addition, seven states—Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Carolina and Utah—have implemented laws that restrict abortion access on the basis of gestational duration. While access has decreased dramatically in states with bans, almost all other states have experienced substantial increases in the number of abortions provided. As a result, the United States continues to face a fractured abortion landscape, with access varying widely based on where people live and what resources they have.
It is important to note that these annual estimates are almost certainly an undercount, as they include only those abortions obtained within the formal US health care system: at brick-and-mortar health facilities, such as clinics or doctor’s offices, and via telehealth and virtual providers.
The 10% increase at the national level in many ways understates the degree to which health systems, providers and support networks have had to scale up care. This is because it does not speak to the large shifts in where people are able to obtain abortions: states without total bans experienced a 25% increase in abortions provided in 2023, as compared to 2020.
In part, this is because the drastic loss of access in states with bans has been counterbalanced by monumental efforts on the part of clinics, abortion funds and logistical support organizations to help people in ban states access care through financial and practical support. States bordering ban states had particularly large increases
Several factors potentially contribute to this increased access: Broader availability of telehealth for medication abortion; Increased financial support; State policies improving protections and access to care.

On top of this, in 2023 the FDA approved the first over-the-counter abortion pill for all ages called Opill, the same way you can buy aspirin and eyedrops. It was first allowed to be purchased online and is now set to hit the shelves soon.
As noted in this Institute’s analysis, and reported by Daily Mail: “And the number is expected to grow even more in the coming years after abortion pill mifepristone [and misoprotol] hit the shelves at CVS and Walgreens for the first time this month.” These drugs have already been in circulation for some years and have contributed to the stark increase in abortions these past years.
Last October The WinePress noted another report that indicated abortions were already on the rise since Roe Vs. Wade was overturned; and months before that, I also reported that American support for abortions reached an all-time high at 70%, according to a Gallup poll – and, if that’s what they are reporting, then I would contend the real number is even much higher…
But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.
[3] Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did; [4] And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon. 2 Kings 21:9, 24:3-4
The nation has spoken and their pride is resilient: they love the murder and shedding of blood of innocents; and contrary to the stouthearted and willfully ignorant “Christians” who continue to claim that God could restore the nation if we ‘repent’ and vote for the right politician, the Lord will not pardon this transgression, of which is just but one of many…
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
Psalms 106:37-39
The judgement that God is bringing to America is going to be absolutely vicious!
The Lord might just use China as the rod of His righteous indignation against America.
America still wants to be staunchly proud and evil and shed innocent blood, alright then! China, deploy the People’s Liberation Army to America and lay waste of them – both conservative and liberal and both false christian and atheist God hater, massacre them and turn America into a war zone!
And guess where the Chinese troops will strike first: the church buildings and seminaries or bible colleges! 1 Peter 4:17 backs my claim!
Amen!
I fail to comprehend how a woman with child does not understand the body growing within her, is somehow also her body. It is developing body that belongs to a newly created person. Two in one (at least), for the time being. The baby (or babies) are NOT hers.
The baby (or babies) that are victims of this horror are now with The Lord.
The babies wrongfully murdered that do in fact feel agony are now in Heaven and they will grow up in Heaven rejoicing for all eternity!
As for these witches, God is going to give them and America a serious whipping! And it’s coming sooner than soon now!
Matthew 18:6-7 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. [7] Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! (KJV true and only word of God)
There are two woes in there for the ones who heart the children. May God destroy those who act in that murderess deed and may he judge them harshly!!!……. It’s just unthinkable of how many sweet children died because of abortions aka murder, my heart goes out to those baby’s:(
