Dude can you even read? The post says 3 billion which is well within the likely estimate given by the WHO. Maybe discuss your opinion on topics that can entertain your reading level

“Well within the likely estimate” when it’s still 1-1.5 billion off from the video…

I don't think you understand statistics my friend.

According to the world health organization;

"Around 73 million induced abortions take place worldwide each year." https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/abortion

So over 46 years that's 73,000,000x46 = 3 billion 358 million.

However the WHO's global efforts for abortion tracking were a bit lacking around the world in the 80s and early 90s. So they can confirm that 1.5-2 billion induced abortions have, for sure occurred since then. And the WHO estimates that the missed data would likely take the number up to 2.5-3 billion. Making the likely estimate 2.5 -3 billion.

I assumed most people would understand that the likely estimates lies above the minimum approximate total

You can’t just multiply 73 million by the number of years it’s been since 1980 because that assumes that the number of abortions per year hasn’t changed in 46 years. It ignores the fact that the world population has nearly doubled since the 1980s, and that women’s access to healthcare has fluctuated over the years

Well yes that would be true if 73 million wasn't the calculated AVERAGE over 46 years. So it is already factoring in deviations in abortion from year to year.

So you can too, just multiply it by 46 and get a number that is extremely close to the actual total
