... our path to self-destruction.
New numbers Thursday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that drug overdoses killed more than 70,000 Americans in 2017, a record.
However; based on the latest state-level data available, Guttmacher reports that approximately
885,000 abortions took place in the United States in 2016,
913,000 abortions in 2015.
0.93 million in 2014,
1.06 million in 2011,
1.21 million in 2008,
1.20 million in 2005,
1.29 million in 2002,
1.31 million in 2000,
1.36 million in 1996.
From 1973 through 2011, nearly 53 million legal abortions occurred in the U.S (AGI).
So we ARE making progress in the CHOICE industry.
But it is STILL more than 10 times as many needless deaths as the fentanyl problem.
