In the years since 1968 there have been a little over 800,000 murders in the U.S., committed by both men and women.
My apologies. You are correct. I had no idea that many people are murdered each year.

18,181 murders per year since 1968? I think not.
The FBI stats ran through, I think, 2009. So that's about 20,000 per year average for those ~40 years or a bit over 54 per day. That's a little over 1 per day per state. By contrast abortion over 39 years took on average 1,358,974 per year or 3723 per day or about 74 per day per state, a far deadlier toll than post-birth murder.

Well, think of it with the abortions. Excluding the tiny number of abortions required to save the life of the mother, the average number of homicides is actually about 1,345,000 per year, not just around 20,000, a greater than 65-fold difference, or almost 26,000 per week or almost 3700 per day or 461 per hour over an 8 hour work day. Think of the 53,000,000 and their grandchildren (at least another 53,000,000 if only one half of the 53,000,000 have at least 2 kids after the age of twenty). Think of all those jobs and all those taxes and all that creative energy flushed away because someone wanted to avoid a temporary inconvenience or a passing embarrassment.
