There have been generations of lives lost to abortion under the horrific Roe v. Wade<\/em> Supreme Court decision which overruled state pro-life laws in 1973, forcing abortion upon the entire nation.<\/p>\n

Since Roe<\/em>, an estimated 63 million preborn babies have been killed legally in the United States. In the past decade alone (2010-2020), abortion has\u00a0violently<\/a>\u00a0ended the lives of nearly 10 million preborn babies in the past decade. Over 50 million Millennial (24.5 million) and Generation Z (26 million) babies have been killed by abortion combined, according to data published by\u00a0Planned Parenthood\u2019s former \u201cspecial affiliate<\/a>\u201d and research arm, the Guttmacher Institute.<\/p>\n

The most recent data published by Guttmacher for\u00a02020<\/a>\u00a0revealed that 2,548 preborn babies are now ended\u00a0every day<\/em>\u00a0by abortion in the United States \u2014\u00a0106 per hour, and nearly 1.8 every minute.<\/p>\n

Live Action News documented the following losses among the generations since\u00a0Roe v. Wade.\u00a0<\/em>To determine the generational categories, Live Action News used age definitions for the various generation groups\u00a0published<\/a>\u00a0by Pew Research, along with reported abortion data published over the years by Guttmacher (Note: the data has varied year to year due to estimations and 2018 data has not been made public).<\/p>\n

Generation X = 8.7 million preborn lives lost to abortion\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Between 1973 and 1980, there were an estimated 8,736,000 preborn lives lost to abortion among Generation X, identified by Pew as those born between 1965-1980. This is more than the entire population of the\u00a0state of Virginia,\u00a0and exceeds populations in all but 11 states in the U.S., according to\u00a02020 population data<\/a>\u00a0estimates.<\/p>\n

Millennials = 24.5 million\u00a0preborn lives lost to abortion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Millennials are identified by Pew as those born between 1981 and 1996. In that generation, an estimated 24,514,400 Millennial preborn lives were lost to abortion. Data by state\u00a0published<\/a>\u00a0at infoplease.com for 2020 indicates that this would amount to more than the population of the state of Florida, and would exceed populations in all but two U.S. states.<\/p>\n

Generation Z = 26 million\u00a0preborn lives lost to abortion\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pew Research\u00a0defines<\/a>\u00a0Generation Z as those born after 1996. Between 1997 and 2020 (the last published report from Guttmacher, excluding 2018 which has not been made public), there have been an estimated 26.000,000 preborn babies from Generation Z lost to abortion. This, like those in the Millennial generation, also amounts to more people than the entire population of Florida in\u00a02020<\/a>, and would exceed populations in every individual state except Texas and California.<\/p>\n

50.5 million lives lost between Millennials and Gen Z alone:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The preborn lives lost to abortion among Millennials (24.5 million) and Generation Z (26 million) each outnumber the populations of a multitude of countries, according to a 2022 estimate\u00a0published<\/a>\u00a0by WorldMeters.info, such as Finland, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Romania,\u00a0Guatemala, Ecuador, Netherlands, Cambodia, Rwanda,\u00a0Sweden, Portugal, Cuba, Belgium, and many others.<\/p>\n

Collectively (50.5 million), these lives lost outnumber the populations of Columbia,\u00a0Spain, Uganda, Argentina, Algeria, Sudan, Ukraine and Iraq, among many others.<\/p>\n
