It's all Trumps fault; well, maybe not all, some of it is Bush's fault!!

If surgical instruments weren't so available, maybe abortion deaths would be less
BAN SURGICAL TOOLS!!!!!

I found it interesting -- and very telling -- that Snopes.com found a unique way to deny the truth of this claim. Snopes claims to be "the internet’s definitive fact-checking resource," but it certainly is not an unbiased. According to them, abortion can’t be the “leading cause of death” worldwide because “fetuses” (i.e. human babies) are not persons!

Stating that abortion is the “leading cause of death” worldwide (as opposed to a medical procedure) is a problematic pronouncement, because that stance takes a political position, one which is at odds with the scientific/medical world. The medical community does not confer personhood upon fetuses that are not viable outside the womb, so counting abortion as a “cause of death” does not align with the practices of health organizations such as WHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)...

I have found Snopes useful in the past, but realize that the fact-checker needs to be fact-checked as well.

Absolutely dreadful! We are heaping up judgement to ourselves.
At least abortions are declining in the USA. In Britain they are increasing once more.

That's how they try to ease their conscience. Don't call them babies, anything but babies.

It’s also a way to trick people into using abortion as an option for birth control. And abortion is big business, especially Planned Parenthood. That’s why they oppose pro-life clinics, especially ones that have ultrasound, which convinces a great many mothers of the reality--it's a baby. Hence we say, "She's with child."
