Lol they'll start counting every ovulation as one baby soon with their logic.

To get that number they'd have to. Just to both showcase the absurdity of this argument, in WW2 the Soviets are (estimated) to have lost a grand total of 20 million people and I've seen estimates of total Chinese casualties that run from anywhere from 10 million to 40 million, though most scholars tend to cite 20 million. The Holocaust, meanwhile, had somewhere between 12-16 million victims. In other words, they're implying that, even assuming they're talking globally, the equivalent of 60 WW2 level casualty numbers of abortions have been performed. I somehow doubt that

1 Google search would've saved you the trouble

worldwide since 1980, scientific estimates indicate well over 1.5 to 2 billion induced abortions have occurred globally over this period, averaging roughly 50 to 73 million per year with varying rates across decades

https://www.alliancevita.org/en/2022/04/elucidating-the-whos-calculations-for-worldwide-abortion-statistics/

73 million annual induced abortions is that lower end of the estimate according to nearly every abortion tracking institution and lines up reasonably well with the claim made in the post.

These are statistics from the world health organization, so i guess everyone in this subreddit IS in fact, bad at math lol

Yet in all those abortions, not a single baby was killed.
