Every year at Christmas, we see what the make-believe world of Bedford Falls misses out on without the fictional George Bailey. But what does\u00a0our\u00a0world miss out on each time a real life gets sucked out of the universe?<\/em><\/p>\n

In reality, the world is missing over\u00a01.4 billion<\/a>\u00a0irreplaceable lives that could have been. These are lives that have been aborted worldwide just since 1980. In the United States alone, almost\u00a060 million<\/a>\u00a0have been aborted since\u00a0Roe v. Wade\u00a0in 1973….<\/em><\/p>\n

Some say that many babies are aborted because they, due to circumstances, wouldn\u2019t have a chance at a wonderful life. But as the Christmas classic reminds us, that\u2019s not the point.<\/em><\/p>\n

George wasn\u2019t dealt that great of a hand. He was the one that couldn\u2019t go to college. The one in a dead-end job. The one with a house falling apart and kids he couldn\u2019t afford and a wife he squabbled with at Christmastime. The one possibly headed to prison. His life wasn\u2019t perfect. Many times it was painful.<\/em><\/p>\n

In the movie, George Bailey\u2019s life isn\u2019t wonderful because it\u2019s extraordinary. It\u2019s wonderful because it\u2019s\u00a0<\/em>life.<\/em><\/p>\n
