164. Okay!
Let's look at numbers!

47 people die per day due to illicit drug use.

Want to compare that to the US population?

Drunk drivers kill 50 people per day.

Want to compare those statistics to the US population?

85 people die per day of gun violence?

Want to compare that to the US population?

137 people die per day of colorectal cancer.

Want to compare that to the US population?

274 women die each day because of breast cancer.

Want to compare that to the US population?

Each of those "statistics" represent a major public health problem.

Now let's compare that to daily abortions:

Here in the US it's approximately 3700.

Worldwide it's110,000 (THAT'S ONE HUNDRED AND TEN THOUSAND) abortions are performed.

Yes.

I'm wrong.

And stupid.

Or maybe just "looking at the numbers in another way."

Keep up the good work.

LOL.
