Matt realized he didn't know exactly how everything measured up, so he decided to do some quick online research and create a table comparing abortion to other social issues.
The following is the result of that.
Matt blamed the following things solely on America (if given in a time period over many years, he divided by the number of years to get a "yearly" total):
Deaths in Darfur since 2003 ---- 500,000 (yearly: 100,000)
World Wide Death Penalty ---- 3900 (he rounded to 4000)
2003-2008 Iraqi civilian deaths ----- 96,466 (yearly: 19293)
US soldiers death total in Iraq ---- 4185 (yearly: 837)
2000-2006 death because of lack of insurance ---- 137,000 (yearly: 22833)
US Murder 2007 --- 16929
TOTAL of combined social issues: 168, 392
Abortions per year in US only ---- 1, 073, 000
So the following charts compare the number of deaths due to social issues blamed on America with the number of abortions (if you consider abortion to be the killing of human life, then number of deaths of babies in America due to abortion) in just ONE year:
In the first graph the first column is the total of social issues. The second number of abortions.
In the second image blue represents the social issues. Magenta represents abortions.
So.......
I dont have anything to say.
Except that I found in The Week a couple of weeks ago that 90% of pregnancies in which Downs Syndrome is diagnosed in the womb end in abortion.
The tests I found that are used to diagnose Downs are the Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) which can be done after 10 weeks and Amniocentesis which can be performed between weeks 15-22. I would imagine then that a baby must be at least 10 weeks at the time of these abortions. This is ten weeks development:
You can find that on my bathroom mirror - on a post it which reads, "Come Lord Jesus."
So, despite Obama or McCain, again I declare: "Come Lord Jesus..."

Below are his sources for the numbers. I think on Abortion he took the average of two different figures he found.
