ALARMING: Over 400,000 babies already aborted just few days into 2023
The rate at which abortion is carried out by young ladies nowadays is very alarming.
While many people are still in celebration mood and yet to get over the festive razmataz, about half a million unborn children have been aborted and denied the right to live barely five days into the new year 2023.
This data is according to Worldometer, a website that provides counters and real-time statistics for diverse topics.
An abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus from the uterus, resulting in or caused by its death.
The figure is based on the latest statistics on worldwide abortions published by the World Health Organization (WHO).
According to WHO every year in the world there are around 73 million induced abortions. This corresponds to approximately 200,000 abortions per day.
Worldometer statistics show that no less than 435,963 abortions have been committed globally in from Jan 1 at 00:00 up to now.
Recall that WHO said unsafe abortion is a leading cause of maternal deaths and morbidities.
“Six out of 10 of all unintended pregnancies end in induced abortion. Around 45 per cent of all abortions are unsafe, of which 97 per cent take place in developing countries.
“Lack of access to safe, timely, affordable and respectful abortion care is a critical public health and human rights issue,” it said.
Meanwhile, abortion is still prohibited in nearly 20 countries, including many African nations, among them Egypt, Senegal, Gabon, Madagascar and Mauritania.
Other countries have legalized abortion but subject its access to extremely restrictive conditions like in cases of danger to a woman’s life in Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire, Libya, Uganda, South Sudan, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Paraguay and Venezuela.
