"Population Control, Marauder Style"

The New York Times has an article up today, in 'celebration' of the 7 Billion humans now alive on Planet #3 (Mudball Earth). Unsurprisingly, their focus is on population control: specifically, deaths due to various human wars and atrocities occurring since 400 BC to present day.

But, there's an omission on that handy chart they provide; the popup chart reproduced and 'fixed' below...

This is one massive chart, sized 1400 x 2000. Click to enlarge.

You'll easily see my 'fix', the large red circle at the bottom of the chart. That represents the U.S.'s 50 Million induced abortions, since Roe v. Wade was put into operation as a killing methodology in 1973. Sourced, here.

The 'top two' killing events in world history prior to my 'correction' were:
1) World War II - 1939-1945 - 66 Million deaths
2) (Tie) Genghis Kahn, 1206-1227 - 40 Million; Mao Zedong 1949-1976 - 40 Million

My correction:

1) World War II - 1939-1945 - 66 Million deaths
2) U.S. Induced Abortions - 1973-2011 - 50 Million deaths
3) (Tie) Genghis Kahn -1206-1227 - 40 Million deaths; Mao Zedong - 1949-1976 - 40 Million deaths

Interesting to note that Mao Zedong was a Communist. And, supporters of Roe v. Wade are far-Left Democrats, now approaching full-blown Communism in their radical ideologies.
