Durham cites these statistics and believes the situation in America is improving for the pro-life movement. He says this is partially due to education.

"I think more and more people are learning about the developing child," he said. But he also attributes this decline to technology, specifically technological advances like the 4D sonogram, which provides incredibly detailed imagines of a developing fetus.

"Because of the new sonograms, you can actually see the new babies features and everything," said Durham, adding that it has " a real striking effect."

The pro-life viewpoint has been linked with Christianity. This is because Christianity, for the most part, preaches against abortion. Many pro-life organizations have a Christian background. Durham, a Christian, doesn't believe the issue is only religious. There is a large amount of scientific evidence that supports the theory that life develops in the womb long before birth, something that Durham says many recognize.

"It's life that makes it grow and develop," said Durham. "People are becoming more aware of that through the media; through the doctors office and the sonogram."

Despite the focus on abortion, FLS is also looking to spread more information on pregnancy, specifically how to have a healthy one.

"More people are focusing on healthy pregnancies," said Durham, "Regardless of your political or religious background, if the girl is going to have the baby, everyone wants a healthy baby."

FLS offers a program called Healthy Beginning, which caters to pregnant women. It is designed to help women have a healthy pregnancy.

FLS also provides counseling programs for women who are suffering from Post-Abortion Syndrome, where a woman experiences high stress after an abortion. "We want to help those women that have had abortions," said Durham.

In the eyes of Durham, one of the major issues involving abortion is the circumstances surrounding most abortions. Part of the major push for Roe Vs. Wade was for health reasons.

There are cases where having a baby can kill the mother, especially if infection is involved. Though Durham says that from his experience, this situation is "totally different than 99 per cent of the abortions we are talking about."

Here is where some of the lines are drawn between organizations like FLS and the abortion clinics on the other side of the issue.

"We're philosophical adversaries," said Durham.

"(The abortion issue) is more contentious than anything, including the war in Iraq, homosexual marriage, flag burning, anything," Durham said.

On the other side of the issue stands abortion clinics, such as the Women's Health Care Services in Wichita run by Dr. George Tiller.

A demonstration is being staged today by anti-abortion activists in Wichita, but Lee Thompson, an attorney for WCHS says that there is support.

"We think it's important to show that people are here in support of Dr. Tiller; to represent the views of the vast majority of America," said Thompson. "We respect everyone's views, but the law of the land makes abortion legal. This clinic has always complied with the law."

"This clinic follows the law. It has been at the center of vigilantism by extremists who know nothing of the actual facts," he said.

Tiller's clinic has been the site of bombs, threats, protests and has been in the national spotlight since the '70s.
