The pro-life movement needs to expand into other areas causing death due to immorality.

We documented 930,160 abortions in 2020, an 8% increase from 2017. Between 2017 and 2020, abortion incidence increased in all four regions of the country and in a majority of states. This translates to 73 million abortions per year globally.

An estimated 1,037,000 abortions were provided by clinicians in states without total bans in 2023, an increase of 11% from 2020, when the total was 930,160

WHO  Around 73 million induced abortions take place worldwide each year. Six out of 10 (61%) of all unintended pregnancies, and 3 out of 10 (29%) of all pregnancies, end in induced abortion (1).

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution causes an estimated 7 million premature deaths worldwide each year. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) estimates that around 200 million Americans could have been exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Also known as “forever chemicals,” these toxic substances persist in nearly everything humans use — from soils to household items, such as nonstick pans. The health impact of PFAS exposure at low levels is uncertain. Over 400 environmental chemicals are measured in human samples, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Some are more dangerous than others.

Each year in the United States, the number of deaths from cancer varies, but recent statistics indicate that approximately 600,000 people die from cancer annually. For instance, in 2022, it was estimated that about 609,360 Americans would die from cancer, which averages to about 1,670 deaths per day,

For example, a 2019 study published in the journal “The Lancet” estimated that poor diets are responsible for 11 million deaths globally each year, which would make dietary factors a leading risk factor for mortality worldwide.

Unhealthy diet contributes to approximately 678,000 deaths each year in the U.S., due to nutrition- and obesity-related diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes.¹ In the last 30 years, obesity rates have doubled in adults, tripled in children, and quadrupled in adolescents.^{2, 3, 4}

Some 11 million deaths annually are linked to diet-related diseases like diabetes and heart disease, a study finds. Researchers say that makes diet the leading risk factor for deaths around the world.
