Original Note:
False. The source is Breitbart citing Worldometer. https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2025/01/01/abortion-was-leading-global-cause-of-death-in-2024-with-over-45-million-killed/ Worldometer claims its data is from “the latest estimates” then it cites a WHO number derived from a 2020 study using 2015–19 data that doesn't mention “45 million” of anything. The claim is unsupported by the source. https://www.worldometers.info/abortions/ https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/abortion https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(20)30315-6/fulltext#:~:text=In%202015%E2%80%9319%2C%20there%20were%2073%C2%B73%20million
