Abortion was the leading cause of deaths around the globe in 2024, according to data released by Worldometer.
The data revealed there were 45.1 million abortions performed throughout 2024. This number accounted for a little over 42% of all human deaths in 2024, according to Breitbart. There were more deaths caused by abortion than from cancer, malaria, HIV/AIDS, smoking, alcohol, and traffic accidents combined.
The data used by Worldometer derived from the World Health Organization (WHO), so the exact statistics may be higher than those reported.
Compounding Crises
Here in the U.S., abortion accounts for roughly a third of all deaths annually. When broken down by demographic, abortion accounts for more than 60% of African American deaths, previous data revealed. African American women have the highest abortion rates of any demographic, while white women have the lowest.
“The world is experiencing a critical shortage of babies that will threaten our way of life in every way imaginable,” said Jonathon Van Maren via LifeSiteNews, citing data and reports of plummeting birthrates around the world.
“Based on an overview of the world’s 196 countries, the average population of a country is 40.96 million. This means that every year the equivalent of an entire country is killed by abortion. To report on the birthrate without acknowledging this fact is simply ludicrous – because the truth is that tens of millions of children are conceived but are never born,” he continued. ” …
We are killing at least a country’s worth of people every single year. No other single fact explains so much about the upheaval taking place around the world. You cannot have war in the womb and peace in the streets.”
