I would have never thought that,&#8221; a man responded. &#8220;If you lowered the body count with abstinence before marriage, more than likely you won&#8217;t create the second body count.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The video&#8217;s second question \u2014 <em>is casual sex casualty free?<\/em> \u2014 is answered in the final interview. After showing several people a video describing an abortion procedure, one man became emotional.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Two of my sons are with God,&#8221; he told Garcia. &#8220;One I didn&#8217;t know about, one I begged to still be here, and they&#8217;re not.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The man described begging his ex to give him the child to raise rather than having an abortion, but she refused, saying it would look bad for a mother to walk away from her child.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It don&#8217;t bother you to kill him, but you care about looks?&#8221; the man said he told her. He tearfully added, &#8220;I&#8217;d have been a good dad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>The Bottom Line:<\/h2>\n<p>As Garcia pointed out in the video, nine out of 10 abortions are to unmarried women.<\/p>\n<p>The increasing, widespread acceptance of casual sex \u2014 some interviewees stated they are fine with &#8220;body counts&#8221; in the hundreds, and even thousands \u2014 undoubtedly correlates to the nearly 3,000 babies who are killed by abortion each day.<\/p>\n<p>Sex, which has the potential to create new human life, is <em>never a casual act.\u00a0<\/em>Clearly, based on abortion statistics, one of the best ways to reduce the abortion rate is to save sex for marriage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b><i>Follow Live Action News on <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/liveactionnewsonline\/\"><b><i>Facebook<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i> and <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/LiveActionOrg\/\"><b><i>Instagram<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i> for more pro-life news.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The term &#8220;body count&#8221; is typically used to refer to two different concepts: the number of sexual partners a person has had, or the number of people a person has killed.
