How many women get an abortion in one year?
I was wondering today about how many women get abortions each year? I mean, I heard about girls going for abortions ALL the time. I keep thinking about how many lives could have been born if they wouldn't have done those things. Anyway, enough of that pro-life or pro-choice type thing--I just want to know about how many women, on average, get abortions each year?

about 4000 abortions take place a day which is like 28000 a week, 112000 a month, and about 1344000 a year!!!!!!!!
That is how many legal murders happen every year!!!!
