Abortion Leading Cause of Death in 2018 with 41 Million Killed
Breitbart.com ^ | 1231/18 | Thomas D. Williams, Ph.D.

Abortion was the number one cause of death worldwide in 2018, with more than 41 million children killed before birth, Worldometers reports.

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.

Worldometers — voted one of the best free reference websites by the American Library Association (ALA) — keeps a running tally through the year of major world statistics, including population, births, deaths, automobiles produced, books published, and CO2 emissions. 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).

They're counting miscarriages as abortions.

But Pelosi has found a priest who tells her its okay.

And she’s in solid with the so-called pope, so it comes right from the top.

Mom has a prayer card that asks that we pray for a baby in danger of abortion.

Years ago I asked myself 'why pray for just one?', and so, have continued to increase the number of babies I pray for daily.

It seemed important to have a number rather than "all".

Sometime last year I settled on "48 million babies in danger of abortion", having done some rough global calculations. It seemed high but I stuck with the number.

It is so sad that I was so close.

Ironic that the number of firearms deaths is minuscule compared to abortion deaths, yet liberals want to outlaw firearms while promoting abortion.

When Scotus added buggery and abortion to chemical contraception as individual rights, it so much as found the general right of one generation to eliminate the next.

I’ll be too old to witnesses the end result, the suicide of Western Civilization, but it is as certain as sunrise tomorrow.

VERY sorry to hear that. You folks were about the last bastion of protection for the unborn.

It may take the Almighty to halt the scourge of abortion, one of many end-time convergences we now see occurring.

The 41 million is world-wide. It was riding 50 million and above for many years. In the US, it’s been over a million a year since shortly after Roe v. Wade.

In Russia, it’s used as a form of birth control and multiple abortions per woman is very high. China, with its one-child policy and forced abortions, probably has the highest per-capita rate. Given its large population, it probably has the largest number of abortions.

No, they are not. From the link you provided (2nd paragraph):

Abortion as a term most commonly - and in the statistics presented here - refers to the induced abortion of a human pregnancy, while spontaneous abortions are usually termed miscarriages.
