(LifeSiteNews) — About 28% of Generation Z in the U.S. has been aborted, according to statistics pulled from the Guttmacher Institute that went viral this week.
According to Guttmacher estimates for the number of abortions performed each year in the U.S. from 1997 to 2011, the birth years of Gen Z, about 19.5 million conceived human beings of that generation, have been killed through abortion. There are currently an estimated 69.3 million Gen Z members in the U.S.
The most recent World Health Organization (WHO) data indicates the rate of abortion of Gen Z babies in the U.S. nearly matches the estimated percentage of preborn babies killed worldwide by abortion: 29%, or three out of every 10 pregnancies.
Statistics from England and Wales show very similar abortion rates. “The percentage of conceptions leading to abortion was 29.7%; this is a rise from 26.5% in 2021 and the highest proportion on record,” an Office of National Statistics (ONS) report from 2022 data found.
“I think that some things deserve to be said over and over and over again and in fact cannot be said often enough,” Dutch political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek remarked in response to the viral statistic. “Especially when it comes to abortion, which to me is such an unequivocal evil. We have to repeat these facts all the time.”
A shocking statistic went viral this week: 28% of Gen Z has been aborted.
We have to continue to counter the evil lie that abortion is a human right.
In fact, it’s a violation of the most important fundamental right one has: the right to life. And life begins at conception. pic.twitter.com/LwBF0ArKXb

Vlaardingerbroek explained that the reason she always opposed abortion, even before converting to Catholicism and becoming a mother, is that “scientifically, intellectually, and morally speaking, the only valid, good faith, and consistent argument that one can make is that life begins at conception.”
“That means a separate human being has been formed in the womb. The stage in which that life finds itself, or whether it’s (dependent) on the mother, or any other person for that matter, is not decisive for whether or not it has the right to life.”
This means abortion kills “the most innocent being on the planet of the earth,” Vlaardingerbroek continued. “You kill something so fragile, so worthy of love and life. And I think that’s something that a lot of people don’t even want to admit to.”
While sharing the statistic indicating that almost one in three Gen Z babies are killed by abortion, investigative journalist Lara Logan shared a clip from an interview she conducted in May with Angela Stanton-King, a conservative author and speaker. Stanton-King addressed the left’s push for abortion “rights” in the country, explaining, “The Democrats don’t want to solve your problems. They want to abort your problems.”
Nearly 1 in 3 of Gen Z never made it here. WHO data shows about 28 to 29% of pregnancies end in abortion, meaning almost a third of that generation never had a chance.

Stanton-King recalled the abortion bus that was brought to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago when Kamala Harris was running for president.
“They are performing abortions on site. Human sacrifice on site … And when you go back and look at that video, every woman getting on and off that bus was black. They are celebrating terminating black life while saying black lives matter. It is the most diabolical thing I have ever seen in my life.”
Now even in the U.S., despite total abortion bans implemented in many states as a result of the overturn of Roe v. Wade in 2022, abortions have allegedly been at their highest levels in over a decade, according to Guttmacher Institute. The continued high number of abortions in the U.S. highlights the importance of cultural, ideological transformation for the protection of life.
