It has already been reported, by no less than the New York Times, that the number of deaths due to COVID has been overstated by as much as a factor of 20. Each of the 200,000 deaths in question here is a profound human loss, but about 95% of them are people who died *with* COVID, not people who died *of* COVID.
The (pro-abortion) Guttmacher Institute reports that some 860,000 abortions were performed in the United States during 2017. Assuming that incidence is constant into 2020, over 400,000 babies have been murdered during the same time period in which 200,000 people have died with COVID, and there is exactly one cause for each of those babies' deaths - no confusion about co-morbidities or judgments made on a cause of death.
How about a moment of silence for those babies, and the tens of millions that preceded them? And what better time for that moment of silence than while one of the staunchest defenders of abortion is being eulogized?
