The number of abortions DOES go up and down every year, and I believe the current rate is about 1.3 to 1.4 MILLION dead babies per year in the United States. This works out to one death EVERY 24 SECONDS. Keep in mind that more American die from abortion EACH YEAR than have died in ALL of the wars America has fought COMBINED. More Americans die from abortion EACH DAY than died in the terror attacks of 9/11/01. More Black Americans die from abortion EACH DAY than have died from racial crimes since the end of the Civil War until now.
This means that abortion is not only the NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF DEATH IN THE UNITED STATES, it kills more Americans than cancer, heart disease, lung disease and strokes COMBINED.
Worldwide, there have been AT LEAST 1.3 BILLION abortions since 1980. This works out to more deaths than all of the wars, famines, plagues, natural disasters, acts of genocide, and crime in the HISTORY OF THE WORLD COMBINED.
Here is an “abortion clock” (kind of like the death clock). Be aware that California DOES NOT report the number of abortions annually, so the estimate for that state is typically on the low end. Also, chemical abortions are not always reported.

Planned parenthood has been busy providing contraceptives I see.
Those statistics are horrible. 17 million black babies since 1973? Blacks should be screaming, that's around a third of all abortions since 1973. Margaret Sanger must be proud of the genocide she unleashed on the world.
As disturbing as it is, I bet the dems look at those numbers and are proud of how many women were able to control their reproductive rights.
