Data and Statistics*- Abortions in the United States since Roe v. Wade decision in 1973: 61.8+ million innocent lives lost
- Abortions per day in the world: 125,000 babies silenced
- Holocaust: 11 million deaths
- Terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001: 2,996 deaths
- Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918: 675,000 deaths
- COVID-19 Pandemic (as of January 12, 2021): 385,000+ and growing
- If we observed 15 seconds of silence for each of the babies that have died from abortion in the United States since 1973, we would be silent for 28 years.
- 60 million deaths from abortion (in the United States) since it was legalized is more than double the population of the country of Australia (25,660,840).
- Abortion would be the number one cause of death in the United States, if counted. Statistics from 2017 show there were more deaths from abortions (862,300) than deaths due to heart disease (647,457) or cancer (599,108) in the US.
- There are more abortions performed every year in America (862,300) than combat deaths in all of the US wars from 1775-2019 (656,482).
- Thankfully, the annual number of abortions has been steadily decreasing since 1990. May we do all we can to continue this downward trend and abolish abortion for good!
