Estimated half-Billion abortions performed

The Guttmacher Institute, a pro-choice reproductive think tank, has published a 10 year survey which found there had been a drop in the world abortion rate from 45.5 million abortions in 1995 to 41.6 million abortions in 2003. No matter what side of the abortion issue one may stand, the fact is that the equivalent of the entire population of the United States, Canada and Mexico was aborted during that 10 year period.
