In essentials, unity; in nonessentials, liberty; in all things, charity.

The numbers are bad.

Medical mistakes account for 195-200,000 deaths per year in the USA. Suicides account for 36,000 deaths. Car wrecks account for 33,000 deaths. Guns account for 12,000. Abortions account for 1,300,000 deaths per year in the USA. There are about one million doctors in America, and 3 million nurses, while over 200 million guns owned by 50 to 75 million Americans. Let's not blame all medical deaths on the doctors; share it with the nurses. 4 million of them, 200,000 deaths. That is one in twenty chance of killing someone. Gun owners : 50 million kill 12,000; that is one in 4,100. One in three pregnancies results in the mother choosing to end it in abortion.

This is a sobering perspective.
