• 1 out of every 66 deaths in the WORLD is an American abortion^*1

• 1 out of every 4 deaths in America is an American Abortion^*2

• Half of the deaths in the world are from abortions^*3

• Abortion is the leading cause of death in the world.  It kills as many people as ALL
  

• of the other causes of death combined.^*4

• We have lost more Americans through abortions (64 times more) than we did in all of our wars (12 wars) combined^*5

• ^{The world kills more people through abortion than all of the deaths in the America combined (22 times as many)*6}

• The D-Day invasion of France (WWII) was the bloodiest in history.  There were 53,714 allied soldiers killed in the "Battle of Normandy."   Yet, our world kills more people than that in just 9 hours through abortions.^*7

Footnotes

4. If you add up all of the others deaths in the world, it almost equals the number of deaths from abortions. 
   
    
   
5. In the past 12 American wars, we lost 651,543 American soldiers.  Yet, in the past 30 years, we have lost over 41 million Americans to abortions.  That means we lost 64 times more Americans through abortion than we have in all of our wars combined (41,704,000 / 651,543 = 64).

6. There are (on average) 2,486,000 deaths a year in America.  There are about 53 million abortions in the world every years.  Therefore the deaths from abortions are 22 times the deaths in America (53,000,000 / 2,486,000 = 21.31).  Actually, many sources say there are 55 million abortions a year and other sources put the numbers as high as 60 million.  However, to stay on the conservative side, I chose to use the smaller number of 53 million.

7. here are, on average, 1.68 abortions performed every second in the world.  Therefore, it would take 8.9 hours to accumulate 53,714 deaths (53,714 / 1.68 / 60 seconds / 60 minutes = 8.88 hours).

8. There are, on average, 1.68 abortions performed every second in the world.  Therefore, it would take 5.84 minutes to accumulate 589 deaths (589 / 1.68 / 60 seconds = 5.84 minutes).
