\u00a0In 2020, there were a reported 1.8 million deaths associated with Covid-19. This was the big, never-ending news, but in the meantime there were 11 million deaths from communicable diseases other than tuberculosis, 8.2 million deaths from cancer, 5.1 million deaths from smoking, 2.5 million from alcohol, 1.8 million deaths from tuberculosis, 1.4 million deaths from road accidents, and 1.1 million from suicide. But the largest loss of life by far were the 46 million deaths by abortion (\u201cMore than 42.6 million abortions,\u201d\u00a0Christian Headlines<\/em>, Jan. 5, 2021). And we are convinced that 42 million is much lower than the terrible reality, since many high abortion countries do not keep accurate statistics. \u201cFor the wages of sin\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0death; but the gift of God\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord\u201d (Romans 6:23<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
