Our research suggests abortions are grossly being under reported but we are not ready to publish our findings. In the meantime, please check out this active counter and other statistics at www.worldometers.info/abortions/
From Worldometers site:
According to WHO, every year in the world there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions. This corresponds to approximately 125,000 abortions per day.
In the USA, where nearly half of pregnancies are unintended and four in 10 of these are terminated by abortion [1] , there are over 3,000 abortions per day. Twenty-two percent of all pregnancies in the USA (excluding miscarriages) end in abortion. [2]
