Editor's note: I believe that
this is one of the ways the Pro Life campaign uses
to get their point across. However, it is
interesting to track a particular issue as
up-to-the-moment as currently possible, short of
all of us having a chip installed at birth that
reports the moment we die and the cause. Don't
laugh. Somebody is probably working on that. And,
while I'm not a statastition, I think that this is
calculated on historical data and not what is
happening in 2017. Numbers in parenthasis, I
believe, are the total number of deaths in 2016. -
