had to check against some other data. Having done some research I am
even more astounded.
The figure I heard was that there are 4,000 legal abortions every DAY
in the U.S. This seemed like an awfully high number, so I checked it
out. In fact, it appears that presently there are a little over 3,500
legal abortions every DAY in the U.S. which is slightly down on the
peak.
My initial thought was how this compared to the number killed by
terrorists in the September 11 attack on the WTC. By way of comparison
there were 2,999 people killed in the 9/11 attacks. Given the reaction
to that event I wonder why there is so little worry about the abortion
figure.
I delved a little further and found that the number of coalition
forces killed in the entire Iraq War now stands at 4,230 including
3,923 U.S.
In addition to the U.S. figures, according to one source (although I
have yet to cross-verify this, but their US figure is in the right
ball-park) the number of legal abortions world-wide is over 126,000
every DAY.
Do these figures surprise you? They certainly did me! I had no idea
that the number was so high. I cannot believe that there are that many
deformed babies or pregnancies resulting from rape, which are the
usual excuses cited for legalising of abortion.
What do you think? Does this bother you at all?
Yours in astonishment,
Sean
