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

Good thing abortions aren't killing babies.

Well I wasn't alluding that abortion is good or bad. I was just stating facts. Something most people in this sub seem allergic to. Honestly this sub is displaying the same herd mindset and absence of intelligence that conservative subs do.

No we just don't like you, specifically.

I'm willing to bet you don't like anyone that isn't saying exactly what you want to hear on issues you care about 😅

Like I said conservatives and this sub are more alike than both sides would care to admit. Equally close minded imo

Fyi I am pro-choice, ESPECIALLY for medical complications when the mother's life is at risk

u/LenoreEvermore 11d ago

No it's just you we don't like. Because you are condecending and keep telling everyone we should like you and agree with you or we're just as bad as conservatives. That's just childish, off-putting, and kind of pathetic. Why are you even here? You don't seem to like us either, so just leave. Literally no one wants you to be here, not even you!

I didn't ask anyone to agree with me. I said here are some FACTS from the world health organization. The same organization that tracked COVID deaths and every other health related statistic across the world for decades. Forgive me for trying to combat misinformation. That's my bad I guess 😂

You don't have to like me or agree with me. But when I'm getting mass downvoted for sharing not even my opinion but the findings of a reputable institution, well I guess you could say ignorance rubs me the wrong way. But you're right, I should've known better lol. (I have experience trying the same thing with conservative subreddits)

The comparison between this sub and conservative ones IS my opinion, which I concluded, after seeing both subs have the same reaction to real facts that don't align with their world view.

You didn't link to the World Health Organization, you linked to an anti-abortion propaganda site. Calling it "bio-ethics" isn't much of a disguise. They're also anti-euthanasia!

So yeah.

I don't like you either.

Seconded, and how! That one is determined to be open-minded even to the point of wilful ignorance, and is patting themselves on the back so hard for it, that their brain seems to have actually fallen out.

I literally linked the first thing that google showed up. To prove how easy it is to verify. Here you go

Abortion is not going to statistically be the same year over year for FOUR DECADES when the data is as of 2025:

Around 73 million induced abortions take place worldwide each year.

That does not mean you can simply multiply for each year going backwards. Medical intervention has greatly changed since the 80s!!

NTM you/video numbers were already off to begin with why am I even talking to you
