21 million abortions/year
by degsme

Now the interesting thing about this whole abortion debate and the claim of "50 million babies dead since 1973" is that the medical evidence is pretty solid that for every implanted fetus/blastocyte there is roughly one blastocyte that spontaneously aborts. So in reality there are some 21 MILLION NATURAL ABORTIONS per year in just the USA alone.

And this doesn't count early first trimester miscarriages - which properly should be called "natural abortions" or in the words of anti-choicers "natural killing". After all if a fetus is "a live person" and an aborted fetus is "killed" then nature is killing a whole lot of "innocent living children".

Clearly "life" isn't nearly as precious in the natural scheme of things as some would make it out to be.
