Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, it is interesting to look at the leading causes of death in the United States, according to the CDC website, as of May 4th, 2020:
- Suicide: 47,173
- Kidney Disease: 50,633
- Influenza and Pneumonia: 55,672
- Covid-19 65,735
- Diabetes: 83,564
- Alzheimer’s: 121,404
- Stroke: 146,383
- Lung Disease: 160,201
- Accidents: 169,936
- Cancer: 599,108
- Heart Disease: 647,457
- Abortion: 862,320
So, we willingly kill about the same number of unborn babies as those who die of all other causes combine, excluding cancer and heart disease.
