Abortion was the largest cause of death worldwide in 2020, ending the lives of an estimated 73.3 million unborn babies.
The World Health Organisation estimates that there were nearly 55.4 million deaths from causes other than abortion worldwide in 2020. Ischaemic heart disease was responsible for 8.9 million deaths, stroke 6.1 million deaths, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 3.3 million deaths and lower respiratory infections 2.6 million deaths. Deaths from neonatal conditions of children after birth resulted in 2 million deaths, 1.2 million fewer than in 2000.
A study published in The Lancet estimates that 73.3 million abortions were performed in 2019.
Based on these estimates, abortion accounted for 57% of deaths worldwide in 2020.
John Hopkins University estimates that in 2020 over 1.8 million people worldwide died from COVID-19.
The most recent full year abortion statistics for England and Wales reveal a total of 209,519 abortions in 2019, an increase of 3.4% abortions from 2018 when there were 205,295 abortions.
Interim abortion figures for the first six months of 2020 show a significant rise in the number of abortions performed, compared to the already all-time full year high, recorded in 2019. The statistics showed that 109,836 abortions were performed for English and Welsh residents in the six months between 1 January and 30 June 2020. This is an increase of 4,296 from the same time period in 2019, where 105,540 terminations were performed.
This significant rise in abortions in the UK coincides with the UK Government’s temporary measure allowing ‘DIY’ home abortions in the UK. Since ‘DIY’ home abortions were introduced in late March, a number of significant problems have arisen. A nationwide undercover investigation found evidence of abortion providers putting women at significant risk by not carrying out basic checks before sending them ‘DIY’ home abortion pills. It also discovered ‘DIY’ home abortion pills can easily be obtained and administered to others, potentially in a coercive manner.
In May, it was revealed UK police were investigating the death of an unborn baby after its mother took ‘DIY’ home abortion pills while 28 weeks pregnant.
In addition, abortion provider BPAS announced that it was investigating a further eight cases of women taking ‘DIY’ home abortion pills beyond the 10-week limit, raising questions over what checks are being conducted to ensure the law isn’t being broken and dangerous later-term abortions aren’t happening.
A number of women have also come forward to share the serious problems they’ve experienced after taking ‘DIY’ home abortion pills. One woman said she went through “hell” and thought she was going to die after taking the dangerous pills. Another woman said the pain and physical process was “horrible” and “a lot worse than expected”.
Right To Life UK spokesperson, Catherine Robinson, said: “Abortion is the leading global cause of death by an extremely large margin. While the womb should be the safest place in the world, it is in fact one of the most dangerous”.
“Seventy-three million lives lost to abortion is a global tragedy. UK taxpayers have funded a very large number of these abortions overseas through their support of MSI Reproductive Choices, as the largest single donor to this organisation, along with funding a number of other organisations who perform abortions in developing countries”.
“This occurs in spite of that fact that the majority of the public support the Government removing funding of abortions overseas. We are calling on the Government to immediately cut funding to abortion-providing organisations who are fueling this global tragedy”.

I don’t consider that “the person” starts until consciousness after birth. It’s not an issue to me.
Fetuses will not be brought back in God’s resurrection.
Why dont certain groups of people care about these lives? because many are black.
Why do some believe it is their right to take another life?
I actually had a young person tell me that life is a parasite until it can survive outside their body on its own.
I was blown away by this comment because many young people have been brainwashed obviously.
Im sickened and saddened by the aloofness of many regarding abortion.
Many women wear their abortions on their sleeve like a badge of honor.
I had a woman tell me she had 5 as if it was Nothing to her.
Society is more concerned with animal welfare than how abortion affects society.
Many claim “we will never be a peaceful society until we stop killing animals”.
Try and wrap your head around that little doozie, while we allow late term abortion up to the moment of birth.
