19.5 million members of Generation Z were lost to abortion—equal to roughly 30% of the 65.1 million children born during those years. When live births and abortions are counted together, nearly one in four members of Generation Z never made it out of the womb. Generation Alpha lost another 14.4 million—equal to approximately 25% of its live births, or one-fifth of the generation when both outcomes are combined. As Generation Beta begins, preliminary figures point to roughly one abortion for every three live births.
Yet research cited by Her PLAN found that 60% of post-abortive women surveyed would have preferred to give birth if they had received greater emotional support or financial security. Autumn Christensen joins John B. Wells to reveal the human cost & reality behind the numbers and the hope now taking shape through 8,000 vetted, life-affirming providers. A nationwide safety net is showing frightened mothers that abortion is not their only way forward.
