As 2025 kicks in, it has been revealed that abortion was the leading cause of death globally in 2024, with over 45 million unborn children killed in the womb in 2024.

The startling information was provided by Worldometer, a reference website recognised by the American Library Association for it’s comprehensive global statistics. The website reported that 45,129,912 abortions had been performed worldwide as of noon on New Years Eve.

This figure represents 42% of all deaths globally for the year, compared to 62.5 million total deaths from all other causes.

By comparison, cancer claimed 8.2 million lives, smoking resulted in 5 million deaths, HIV/Aids accounted for 1.7 million deaths, traffic accidents caused 1.35 million fatalities and suicide resulted in 1.1 million deaths. Abortions in 2024 outnumbered the combined deaths from cancer, malaria, HIV/Aids, smoking, alcohol and traffic fatalities, demonstrating the magnitude of the procedure’s global impact.

Worldometer’s abortion statistics are drawn from the latest figures provided by the World Health Organisation. The organisation tracks global health data, including abortions, as part of its mandate to monitor public health trends.
