Heck! If you want to save lives do this. Abolish cars and highways. Between 30 and 40 thousand lives are lost per year in car accidents, or abolish abortion. 800 thousand lives would be save a year, every year.
Well, we DO work & study & spend a lot trying to reduce auto deaths. Without those efforts, we’d easily be up around 100k / yr, IMO.
Reducing abortion though... that needs even more work to get more people on board our train.
