42.4M babies killed by abortion in 2019; here's what's ahead for US abortion laws in 2020
CE Comment: In many ways, 2019 saw positive advancements in the pro-life cause. Several states passed laws that continue to push back against the pro-death lobby in America. Moreover, the public dialog shifted as many Americans were both shocked and ashamed to hear political leaders on the left push abortion advocacy up to and even beyond the birth of the child. (See Virginia Governor Defends Letting Infants Die and New York legislature votes to legalize abortion up to birth, let non-doctors commit abortions.) Still, the reality that more than 3,000 babies are murdered every day is a scourge upon our nation. When history is ultimately written, abortion advocates will stand next to other infamous names and ideologies that have murdered millions of people.
According to Worldometers, which tabulates global statistics on abortion procedures based on the most current available figures from the World Health Organization, 40 to 50 million abortions are performed annually worldwide.In 2019, around 42.4 million pregnancies ended in abortion worldwide.The website notes that in the United States, approximately half of pregnancies are "unintended" with four in 10 ending in an abortion, amounting to over 3,000 abortions happening every day. Not including miscarriages, 22 percent of all pregnancies end in abortion. Globally, around 125,000 abortions happen every day.
