It’s the 34th anniversary of Roe v. Wade and since the Left is so fond of body counts, try this one on for size: 46,000,000 per year

That’s the estimated number of abortions that occur each year around the world. That’s roughly 126,000 per day. A little over 5,000 every hour… or 87 per minute. 1.45 every second.

In the time it takes me to post this, another 500 lives will be terminated.

If that perspective isn’t enough for you “body count” lovers, compare these numbers to the following:

17,000,000 - Americans that die from Heart Disease each year
7,000,000 - Americans that die from Cancer each year
1,100,000 - American casualties in the 5 deadliest U.S. wars
40,000 - Americans die in car accidents annually
30,000 - Americans commit suicide each year
17,000 - Homicides committed each year

Add them all together and the total is still only about half the number of lives terminated through abortion each year. It’s amazing that we spend so much time, effort and money researching cures for those things that terminate life… while an entire segment of the population rallies against a known cure for one thing that ends more lives than most anything else on earth.

Of course, it’s worth noting that every single person that rallies in support of abortion… is someone who’s never been a victim of it.

2. American Body Count

   As Texas Rainmaker points out, this is the anniversary of the Supreme Court Roe vs. Wade decision. The 34th to be exact. During this time, consider the numbers that we’ve lost: 46,000,000 per year. Or 15,333 times the number of

3. Marking the 34th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade

   As he has done in the past, President Bush phoned in to today’s March for Life rally in Washington. Here’s the bulk of his statement. It is important for all Americans to remember that our Declaration of Independence states that…

6. […] Consider the post entitled “The Body Count” by The Texas Rainmaker, then refer back to the abortion statistics referred to previously. The most potent, distilled fact that this data communicates is that every year more babies, 1.37 million, are “terminated” in the U.S.A. than in all of our foreign wars combined. […]
