approximately how many abortions were performed per year during the 1940s?
152049
Since abortions were illegal, it would be difficult to find accurate statistics.

Which side are you taking?\n\nOh, and do your own research.  There's so much information out there about abortion, and if this is for a school project, I don't think your teacher would approve of you just asking the Yahoo! answers community.  Do some work.

I would definitely change the abortion laws, Completely outlaw partial birth abortion, Aren't we proud 3500 babies are killed daily in Our country. Abortion on Demand WOW! something to brag about!

A new report has actually just come out on sexual and reproductive health in the North West of England which has abortion rates (and other useful stats) for the North West overall and every local authority in the region.\n\nSee the link below, which will take you straight to the PDF:\n\nhttp://www.nwph.net/nwpho/Publications/NW_sarhi.pdf

I find it interesting that there even IS such a push to get rid of abortion. Poll after poll of Americans all over the country has shown that while a majority doesn't much like abortion, they still think it's not the government's business to tell a woman what to do. \nPersonally, I believe there should be a major educational campaign to reduce unplanned pregnancy. The US has among the highest number of unplanned pregnancies in the industrialized world (nearly half of the 6 million pregnancies that occur each year among American women are unintended. Of those, 1.4 million result in births, and 1.3 million result in abortion). Women and men should be properly eductated and realize that sex can lead to pregnancy (obviously, too many don't) and that there are ways to reduce that risk very dramatically. Abortion is not a form of birth control. \nBut even if education were perfect, there would still be unwanted pregnancies, and women would keep trying to get rid of unwanted babies. In communist Roumania having an abortion was a crime, for both the woman and whoever helped her. Women were forcibly tested when there was suspicion of an abortion. Punishment was prison, often more than 10 years. And still women kept getting them, desperate NOT to have the baby. Many died through botched abortions. \nMaking abortions illegal will not stop them, it will just make sure more women have them done by back-alley butchers.

There are approximately 10.6 million child deaths worldwide each year, not counting abortions.  That makes about 29,000 children died on 9-11.

Tough one, but here it is according to the World fact Book 2005\n4 births each second of every day   almost 2 people die each second

There are a few other things that are hypocritical about abortion.  \n\nIf you have a tooth pulled, you have to get informed consent.  Little or none is needed to get an abortion.\n\nWe are not told how many women die from legal abortions but it is far more then most realize.  Often the real cause of death is covered up.\n\nSomeone dies in every abortion.  Often they are unborn women.  What about their rights in what should be the safest place for them...their mothers womb.\n\nThey are not informed on the possible and probably long term effects of abortion.  I have worked with dozens of women who have regretted having an abortion years after the fact.  \n\nThey often accuse men of demanding a baby be aborted simply to avoid paying for it but these same people scream bloody murder if the father tries to prevent his child from being murdered.

This is your opinion.\nNot held by a few, I might add, especially considering that just about 50 percent of "people who are against abortion" are males and a good percentage of the remainding 50 percent are married women or children.\nSo poltitics and religion aside, you are probably correct in your assesment.

Assuming "ORE" is really "more", then I would say:\n\n...handle approximately 750 births as well as about 1,000 surgical procedures per year.

I suggest for an answer for that look at the US Govt run http://www.adoptuskids.org and see how many children as of right now need homes.\n\nA simple basic search leads to 3705 results with atleast 2 to 6 kids in each one. 15,000 kids today. Not to mention those not listed, or those in foster care (518,000). \n\nWhy would anyone think that an unwanted baby would be adopted in a world post-abortion in the current world.\n\nI'm not saying abortion is the answer period. But I don't think ant-abortion advocates are giving all the answers either.

Well here's a few places you can start looking for information.  Further down there's a colored world map concerning abortion laws.  And even further down is a chart by continent with specific laws and yes or no.

I am 100% against abortion and 100% against the war in Iraq.  I didn't vote for Bush and I encouraged others not to vote for him.  I offer help and information to women outside abortion facilities, and out of the pro-lifers who join me there, at least 90% of them also oppose the war in Iraq.  Killing innocent human beings, whether in the womb or out of it, is always wrong.\n\nThe average age of an aborted baby in America is ten weeks.  By that point, the baby can suck her thumb and grasp an object placed in her palm.  If her hand is pricked, she will pull it away and open her mouth.  If you think babies in the womb can't experience fear, then you need to watch The Silent Scream, narrated by former abortionist and former head of NARAL Dr. Bernard Nathanson.  Dr. Nathanson was instrumental is helping to pass Roe v. Wade and says he is personally responsible for over 75,000 abortions in his practice.  The ultrasound video shows an 11-week unborn child frantically trying to escape an abortionist's suction device.  Her heartbeat nearly doubles and her mouth opens wide.  Evidence shows that unborn babies may be capable of feeling pain beginning at around eight weeks:\n\nhttp://www.advocatesfortheinnocent.com/fetalpain.html\n\nHave a little compassion for the most vulnerable, most defenseless, most voiceless among us:\n\nhttp://www.cbrinfo.org/Resources/pictures.html\nhttp://www.abort73.com/HTML/I-A-4-video.html\n\nand don't be so quick to stereotype.
