And you are missing my point, I am not defending Communism as anything great, it was an abysmal blot of the face of humanity... Just as abortion is. I am not saying the US is as bad as communism either.... Just saying we carry our own sin, and its death toll is running just as high... albeit "individuals volutarily comitting murder" as opposed to state murder... the results are the same..

I didn't suppose that you were defending communism. But one of the main points of the article (pointed out in the first paragraph) is that we have killed more people than any other in history. This is patent nonsense - even using your high-end figures (btw, between 1973 and 1998 between 35,000,000 and 38,000,000 abortions were done. It has been estimated that 1.5 million abortions have been done every year in the nearly 30 years since Roe vs. Wade. Not a nice statistic, certainly, but that only adds up to 45,000,000 in 30 years, vs 120,000,000 for commies over a period of time less than that). Now it's true that the total world abortion rate is far higher, but since the article was focusing on U.S. cupability, I felt the need to show that communist killings alone are over twice as bad as we are. Even though the Nazis killed less, their killing rate was around 5 million a year, over 3 times the average abortion rate here in the U.S. Additionally, if you throw in abortions for both the communists and Nazis, you will find that as bad as the U.S. is, we completely pale in comparison.

Ah so, because communism and nazis killed en mass for short periods of time, it means they are inately more evil than abortion which will if things stay they way the are kill far more, but just over a longer period? Murder is murder, state sanctioned or state executed is of little moral difference. Nazi/Communism were state executed, Abortion is state sanctioned. There is no moral superiority of abortion over despotism when it comes to murder.
