Life expectancy in America has increased from 47 years in 1900 to 78 years in 2011. That’s great. Here’s what’s better: The majority of that gain has come from declines in infant and childhood mortality. One in 15 babies born in 1900 didn’t see their first birthday; a fifth didn’t make it to age five. In America! Today fewer than seven in a thousand die before age five. The decline means 700,000 fewer kids die each year who would have died 115 years ago. That’s like adding a city the size of Seattle every year.

This does not factor in Abortion. How many unborn children are killed each year in the US?

Young children who are mumps/measles age have never been killed by abortion, but I know what you mean.  Namely, all this abortion we got today must mean we're worse off now than 1900.  More on that at --

Oh please.

It's a choice, not a child.

I believe the number is one in four.
