I am very pro life and know a bunch of information on topic, so I was giving her ideas on how to structure her essay. She was pro choice, so we had conflicting ideas about what to put into the essay.

Abortion is increasing tremendously. There are 40-50 million abortions that occur per year, that means there are 125,000 unborn babies that die every day.
