(ForEveryMom) This just in: More people died in 2020 from abortions than any other cause of death worldwide.
That’s right. Despite the overwhelming number of deaths that 2020 brought us through the coronavirus pandemic, abortion was once again named the leading cause of death last year, killing nearly 25 times more people than the coronavirus.
Data compiled by Worldometers — a highly accredited site that collects official data from governments, scientific journals, and other reputable groups like the World Health Organization — revealed that as of December 31, 2020, an estimated 42.7 MILLION abortions had been performed over the course of the year.
Those staggering statistics, when compared to the number of babies born in 2020, would suggest that nearly a quarter of all pregnancies worldwide (23 percent) ended in abortion. For every 33 live births last year, 10 babies were aborted.
In the U.S. alone, where nearly half of all pregnancies are unintended and four in 10 of these are terminated by abortion, there are over 3,000 abortions per day.
