42 million abortions over 30 years comes out to 3,835.6 PER DAY each and every day, 365 days a year. I just don't buy your numbers. Please provide data/source?

I am vehemently opposed to abortion, don't get me wrong.

However, it is just as wrong (and damaging to our credibility) to make up statistics to support our own beliefs, as it is for the pro-death crowd to do so.

We who opose abortion are right. Our cause is just and proper. We do not need to mislead or obfuscate to prove it so.

The numbers are not hard to add up. Go to a stat showing the total abortions for each year, starting with 1973 (app. 500,000 first year recorded post Roe) and add the numbers. It is now more than 42,000,000 and counting, though the yearly totals are dropping for reported abortions. More damning are the stats for partial birth abortions reported in the U.S. over the eight years of clinton's veto power. Chart the rise of the fetal tissue harvesting industry along with the increase in partial birth abortions. The graph is ghastly! [If you didn't know already, PBA was devised to terminate infants from the 13th week until 40th week because extraction abortions were dismembering the unborn and causing difficulty identifying all the parts with the subsequent infections that happen in the woman's body. There is testimony from PBA nurses and doctors now turned pro-life that women have been encouraged to wait a few weeks before presenting for PBA, to get better fetal remains for harvesting and to make the PBA 'procedure' less likely to pull a little one's leg off extracting them for the kill. Less messy when a more firmly developed body is yanked around for the extraction and brain suction.]

I've been doing pro-life work for almost 20 years. For longer than that, the average has been around 4,000 per day in this country. I'll find you a source for it, but that number is accurate.

BTW, we didn't need to "make up" those statistics. They're real.
