“The total number of abortions performed to date in the US alone is more than the combined populations of Switzerland, Denmark, Finland, Austria, Sweden, Greece, New Zealand, and Norway.”

Pro-life author S. Nye writes:
“It has been estimated that during all the wars combined in the world between 1900 and 1990, the total number of civilians killed was 62 million.
But India has lost over 63 million girls in the single decade between 2008 and 2018 due to the widespread practice of sex selective abortion.”

“97% of family practice residents and 36% of obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) residents have no experience in first-trimester abortion procedures. Indeed, a recent study found that abortion education is limited in medical schools in the United States…
Based on the data available, the authors found that a minority of medical education programs offered abortion education at any level of medical training. Even when clinical experience was offered as part of third-year rotations (45% reported the availability of this experience), participation was low, suggesting to the authors that medical faculty did not encourage student proficiency in this area, and possibly suggesting that students avoided abortion training as a stigmatized, dangerous, or possibly constrained field.”

Share on FacebookAccording to one pro-abortion book:
“More than 95% of abortions take place in freestanding abortion clinics – independent clinics (60%) and Planned Parenthood offices (35%) – as opposed to private doctors’ offices or hospitals. In part because of expensive state restrictions but also because of the decreasing abortion rate and antiabortion extremism, clinics have been closing at an alarming rate in recent years. Among independent clinics, 145 of 510 (28%) closed between 2012 and 2017. Planned Parenthood clinics also closed during that timeframe, though the exact numbers are not easily accessible. As a result of these closures, the 2014 figure that nine in 10 counties in the United States had no abortion provider is likely even higher now.”

Most of these abortions are done by surgery.

Share on FacebookElisha J Israel writes about the toll abortion takes in the African American community:
“In 2008, according to the Guttmacher Institute, there were 1.21 million abortions in the United States and 30% of these were performed on African-American women. In this year African-American women averaged 994 abortions per day. To put this in perspective, in the years between 1882 in 1968, known as the “Lynching Century”, the Tuskegee Institute recorded 3466 lynchings of African-Americans. Today, through abortion that number 3446 is surpassed in about 4 days… In any given year since 1973, the number of abortions surpassed the amount of deaths of the 10 leading causes of death for African Americans. Since 1973, more black lives have died from abortion than for deaths resulting from heart disease, violent crime, HIV/AIDS, cancer, accidents, and diabetes combined.”
