"There is literally a competition among these crying liberal slobs of who can write the most maudlin liberal drivel in concise prose to hawk to the general public."

Isn't that the truth. I wonder how many babies are aborted in the world on a given day?

[George W. Bush]

I wonder how many babies are aborted in the world on a given day?

We generally say that 40 million have died since Roe, about 1 million per year. However, there has been a reported decline in abortion since 1995. Here is a page that lists 1995-2000 CDC data. Going by this, the most recent year reported is 2000 when there were (supposedly) 857,000 reported abortions.

That would be about 2,347 abortions per day. Don't hold your breath waiting for the New York Times to start lamenting these murders, a far greater human tragedy as it occurs as a direct result of man's own choices. So much easier to wail at God's cruelty in a natural disaster. Moreover, a disaster whose tremendous loss of life could have been largely mitigated had the local authorities required proper building codes and emergency planning.

But it wouldn't do to condemn these governments, would it? No liberal reporter would dare bark at his master.
