More human beings died in abortions than any other cause of death in 2018, a new report indicates.
A heartbreaking reminder about the prevalence of abortion, statistics compiled by Worldometers indicate that there were nearly 42 million abortions world-wide in 2018. The independent site collects data from governments and other reputable organizations and then reports the data, along with estimates and projections, based on those numbers.
Breitbart contrasted the abortion numbers to other causes of death, including cancer, HIV/AIDS, traffic accidents and suicide, and found that abortions far outnumbered every other cause.
Here’s more from the report:
As of December 31, 2018, there have been some 41.9 million abortions performed in the course of the year, Worldometers revealed. By contrast, 8.2 million people died from cancer in 2018, 5 million from smoking, and 1.7 million died of HIV/AIDS. …
It also records the total number of abortions in the world, based on the latest statistics on abortions published by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Globally, just under a quarter of all pregnancies (23 percent) were ended by abortion in 2018, and for every 33 live births, ten infants were aborted.
Worldometers estimates about 59 million deaths world-wide in 2018, but that number does not include unborn babies’ abortion deaths. Unborn babies are not recognized as human beings even though biology indicates that they are unique, living human beings from the moment of conception and they die brutal, violent deaths in abortions.
The abortion number is incomprehensible, but each of those 42 million abortions represents a living human being whose life was violently destroyed in their mother’s womb. Each unborn baby already had their own unique DNA, making them distinct from their mother. That DNA indicated if the child was a boy or girl, their eye and hair color, their height, possible genetic disorders and other disabilities, and much more. In most cases, the unborn babies’ hearts are beating when they are aborted, too.
In America, just under 1 million babies are aborted every year. Though abortion rates have been dropping in the past decade, abortion remains the leading cause of death in the United States as well.
An estimated 60 million unborn babies have been killed in abortions in the U.S. since Roe v. Wade in 1973. In January, pro-life advocates will gather for the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. to remember the anniversary of that infamous decision and call for restored protections for the unborn.

It sickens me that abortion is used my many as a form of birth control.
…All those babies killed on the whim of their mothers. Disgusting display of self interest.
Abortion = Murder
As long as the proper people are doing the abortions, I say go for it.
What about the unborn babies? What about their say?
If those unborn babies were destined to grow up to be jihadists (or Trudeau’s) then I say bring on the coathangers!
We’ll have to agree to disagree on this one Grimey.
I’m actually anti-abortion. Just trying to stir up shit.
I know. Sarcasm doesn’t always come across in online comments.
Human life begins at conception. Ergo, abortion is a form of murder (notwithstanding the wholly arbitrary definition in section 223 (1) of the Criminal Code of when “a child becomes a human being”).
Great subject Prof !
There’s nothing like controversy on New year’s Eve or the first day of the year.
So here it goes :
It’s the woman’s body and it’s her right to choose in my mind.
Are the Catholics right or are Catholics wrong , well as far as pedophiles I mean priest go. Oh excuse me.
When the Pope & the priests clean up their act maybe I’ll listen to them , till then I will wait till judgment day and let God decide.
In the meantime Happy New year’s to everybody !
May you all find peace and fulfillment of.
Now back to watching The skatie punchy game!
If it was the women’s body, she would be the one killed.
You definitely won’t like my way to solve the drug crisis !
Give them all the free fentanyl , they won’t !
Crisis over in about a week , mager drop in crime.
If the market disappears the source will dry up. Junkies get “saved” by do-gooders with expensive Naloxone. They then run out and commit more crimes to buy more drugs to do it all over again. The street level do-gooders are accessories to crimes and should face charges.
Creating a baby takes two genders. For every abortion there should be the male responsible having a vasectomy on the next table. Watch the numbers of abortions collapse. Watch the numbers of food stamp welfare recipients collapse.
Yes . . . Sadly men are not allowed to be men , women don’t know how to be women.
Genders have become blurred.
Everyone is equal yet self-absorbed, we have equal rights but apparently my are more equal than yours.
no wonder the family unit & marriages have a very low success rate, words are just words ,people don’t like the truth because it’s inconvenience and hurts feelings.
Sex is good and commitment sucks.
I truly hope I’ve taught me children better than this.
