Also I would like see someone take a field and fill up with white crosses in the exact amount of abortions daily in the US. If I were able I would do this and post picture on the web.

About 3500 per day. This is pretty close to the number of miscarriages per day.
As you might expect, California has the most and Wyoming has the least. California not only has the most -- it has the most per 1000 women. Wyoming not only has the least -- it has the least per 1000 women.
About 20% of pregnancies end in abortion. About 75% of pregnancies of girls under the age of 15 end in abortion.
The majority of women who get abortions self-identify as Christians, with 18% saying that they are Born Again Christians.
The way to stop abortions is through education, not legislation.

I think it's 4400 per day. It comes out to about one out of every four unborn children dying from abortion, but the number is declining (ten years ago it was one in three).
Lots of Catholic churches do the white cross thing -- well, the ones with big enough grassy areas to put them all in. Call your local Catholic archdiocese and ask where the crosses are this week.
P.S. "Iknowtruthismine" (above) is an excellent example of an "angry woman" that she herself speaks of. Someone asks for abortion statistics and she responds with threats of war and arson, turning Catholic churches all across America into "burning monuments to gender repression." This demonstrates clearly what abortion does to a woman. Far from being a quick solution to the crisis at hand, it is only the beginning of a burden she will carry for years and years. Please pray for her healing and that of all other women who have been used, gotten pregnant, and felt that they had no other option but abortion. And let's be there for them to make sure they really do have another "choice." Most women don't "choose" abortion -- they do it because they believe they have no other choice. That's where we, as a society, have failed them.
It's no wonder they're angry.

If you don't believe in abortion, don't GD have one. Take that right away from the rest of us and you will start a very uncivil war. Angry women with matches all across America will turn fundi and Catholic churches into burning monuments to gender repression. What gives you the right to force your narrow religious view on the rest of us. We would be better off if birth-control was widely distributed and free abortion on demand was available to correct the mistakes made when birth control fails.

You can get statistics from Planned Parenthood [A Misnomer] as they Plan for Death and not LIFE!
To date, there have been about 35-Million Abortions. Do you know the sad thing? Millions of Illegals and foreigners have take the American Jobs that those Persons might have had!
(Gen 4:10) And He [GOD] said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto Me from the ground.
Yes the voice of those Slain Children cry out to GOD against our nation! I am surprised that 911 did not take place much sooner!
