According to the United Nations World Population Prospects report, approximately 7,452 people die every day in the United States. In other words, a person dies in the US approximately every 12 seconds. You can see a live clock keeping track of how many people have died today at https://www.indexmundi.com/clo...deaths/united-states. You can compare the number of deaths in the US to the number of deaths in other countries at https://www.indexmundi.com/clocks/indicator/deaths.

 

Note: The numbers in this post were estimated without taking into account the effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The net effect of the pandemic on the average number of deaths in the US will not be clear until some time in the future. Today (March 29, 2020), 484 deaths were reported due to COVID-19, which is close to 6.5% of the normal number of daily deaths; however, it is possible that deaths due to other causes may have decreased because of widespread social distancing, quarantine, and stay-at-home measures. On the other hand, there may also be an increase in the number of deaths that could have been prevented if medical resources were not focused on COVID-19 patients.

I wonder if that includes the 3000 abortions daily in the US.

We use 3,000 as our estimate for the number of abortions that occur daily in the United States of America.

Here’s why:

There are two basic sources for abortion statistics: the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Guttmacher Institute.

The number of abortions reported by the Guttmacher Institute in the U.S. for 2014 is 926,200. This equates to 2,538 abortions each day. These numbers do not include pre-born humans killed by abortifacients such as IUDs, emergency contraceptives (ex. Plan B, Ella), and some birth control pills (ex. Yaz, Yasmin). Including an accurate estimated number of pre-born children killed by abortifacients to the overall total of daily abortions in the U.S. would at least double the numbers.

In order to land on a reasonable number that takes all of these facts into account and can be universally accepted, we use the general figure of 3,000 daily abortions in the U.S.
