One-Third of a Billion

The Bubonic Plague in Europe was the deadliest known plague in human history, claiming roughly 100 million lives.

But did you know that more than 3 times that many lives were slaughtered in the last 40 years alone ... in one country? On March 14, the Chinese Health Ministry reported the following statistics for its family planning practices since 1971:

• 336,000,000 abortions performed
• 196,000,000 sterilizations conducted
• 403,000,000 intrauterine devices inserted

You read that first statistic correctly. One-third of a billion unborn children have been slaughtered in China in the last four decades—the largest single slaughter of human beings in the history of the world. That’s more than all the people killed in the ten deadliest wars in human history.
