Abortion was the leading cause of death globally in 2021, with nearly 43 million unborn babies killed in the womb, according to data provided by Worldometer.

As of noon on December 31, 2021, there were 42.6 million abortions performed in the course of the year, Worldometer revealed, while 8.2 million people died from cancer, 5 million from smoking, 1.7 million of HIV/AIDS, 1.3 million from traffic fatalities, and 1 million from suicide.

Totaling all the deaths in the world from causes other than abortion reveals a figure of 58.7 million, meaning that abortions accounted for just over 42 percent of all human deaths in 2021.

By comparison, worldwide deaths from coronavirus in 2021 totaled around 3.5 million, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

If a portion actually counted towards deaths, then 1. It's be incorrectly counted and 2. Yes

Abortion doesn't kill a child.
 
So that would be your enemies, voluntarily keeping their numbers low. Success!
 
According to Planned Parenthood, abortions in the US are getting harder to obtain and are likely to get even harder when the Dobbs ruling is handed down this year. Happy New Year!
 
I am pro choice, but it hard to argue that abortion is not terminating a life.

The idea that something is not alive until it physically passes through a vagina is frankly idiotic.
 
That's an incredible number of death certificates that don't exist

Just to be clear, are babies that are delivered via C section not technically alive? How about premature births - are they alive?

Also, if someone strangled a baby that had just been delivered, what would you call that?

Does life begin at conception? Aren’t sperm and ova living?

The question of "when does life begin" is loaded. You're right, sperm and ova are living tissues, although neither are distinct life forms - they are part of organisms, not distinct entities themselves. And the joining of the two does create something new, both in genetics and in structure.

But, along this process, we are dealing with an unbroken chain of living tissue that becomes fully individuated when the DNA of the fertilized egg is set and it begins to replicate along that pattern.

The fertilized egg, and the stages of growth that follow from conception are just as alive as your arm is. And just like your arm, the developing egg is dependent on the mother for it's continued growth and development.

Delivery of the baby is done at a point when the natural processes of the mother kick in and essentially eject the baby into the world. Hopefully, enough time has passed so that the baby can survive the environment we exist in without the mother's body as protection. Delivery is really just a change in location and is not a stage in the structure of the baby. So, there is no noteworthy difference between the viability of a fetus 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after birth. Both could be considered to be just as alive as the other.

This is why I say that birth is not a milestone when we consider if something qualifies as being alive or not.

I would clarify that I say this as a pro-choice person.
 
Life is a spiritual concept.

This would be why viability has been the measure.

As long as it's not an independent person outside the woman, it's the woman's decision to make.

That's why we have birth certificates and why you can't give a death certificate to an aborted fetus

So 1 second before birth, when it is still inside of the woman, it is not alive and she can really do anything she wants to it?

Some places do issue death certificates for stillborn babies. New York, for example.
