Bachmann: 56 MillIon Babies Aborted Equals Population of Minnesota More Than ’10 Times Over’

The number of unborn babies who lost their lives through abortion since the Supreme Court ruling legalized the practice 41 years ago is equal to 10 times the population of Minnesota, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) said Wednesday in a special order floor speech.

“We can’t lose 56 million innocent American lives and not be changed. Just to put it in context, 56 million means the entire population of my state of Minnesota over 10 times over. That’s how many … have been lost to the carnage of abortion,” said Bachmann.

Bachmann was one of four congresswomen who took to the House floor Wednesday to mark the 41st anniversary of the Roe v. Wade ruling. Twenty-two congressmen and women in all gave speeches in support of the pro-life cause.

Since 1973, there have been over 56 million abortions in the U.S. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Minnesota had a population of 5.42 million people in 2013.
