For the fifth year in a row, abortion has surpassed all other major causes of death globally, despite restrictions implemented in some regions following the overturn of Roe v. Wade in the US. Statistics from Worldometer, a real-time data tracker, reveal that over 44.6 million abortions were performed worldwide in 2023.
This figure outpaces the combined death toll of all other leading causes listed by Worldometer. Communicable diseases, the second-highest killer, claimed over 12.9 million lives, while cancer and smoking claimed over 8.2 million and 4.9 million lives, respectively. Other significant contributors include alcohol use (2.4 million deaths), HIV/AIDS (1.6 million) and road traffic accidents (1.3 million).
Even diseases like the flu (500,000 deaths) and malaria (390,000 deaths) pale in comparison to the staggering number of abortions. Maternal mortality and childhood mortality also contribute significantly, with over 300,000 mothers dying during childbirth and over 7.5 million children under five succumbing to unspecified illnesses.
While Worldometer's total death count for 2023 exceeds 60.6 million, it excludes abortion. Including this figure would push the total beyond 100 million, with abortions accounting for over 40%.
