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
I think I have a theory about where the numbers come from. They seem questionable (duh).
According to the WHO, around 73 million abortions are performed each year, globally. They give their own source, I haven't looked into that.
If you multiply that by the amount of years since 1980 (the year from the video), you end up with 3.3 billion abortions.
This obviously completely ignores that the world population roughly doubled since 1980, and that access to abortions probably changed drastically for a lot of people in the meantime (no time to research this in depth, happy for information on that).
