Gen Alpha is the Most Aborted Generation in History

More than one in four has been murdered in the womb by their parents—and the death toll is rising.

Close to 26 percent of Generation Alpha, those born between 2010 and 2026, have already been slain in the womb.

That's according to statistics analyzed by Restoration News from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and pro-abortion groups WeCount and Guttmacher Institute—which tallied 15.7 million abortions over that 15-year period out of 61 million live births.

This amounts to a 25.8 percent abortion rate—significantly higher than the two preceding generations: Millennials (18 percent of who were aborted) and Generation Z (21 percent gone).

It also makes Generation Alpha the most aborted generation in history.

The Lost Generation

The proliferation of the abortion pill, also called mifepristone, has driven Gen Alpha's skyrocketing death rate. First approved by the FDA in 2001 for sale in the U.S., the abortion pill now accounts for 63 percent of all abortion deaths nationwide—about 693,000 each year just from mifepristone.

Chemical abortion carries far more risks than surgical abortion, and is increasingly performed at home. Studies show one in 10 women who ingest mifepristone will experience a serious side effect, ranging from sepsis to death.

Yet anyone, including minors, can order abortion pills online without consulting a physician. That even holds true in states that prohibit abortion, such as Texas and Louisiana, creating an online black market facilitating illegal abortions through the mail.

Federal law prohibits mailing abortion materials under an 1873 law known as the Comstock Act. The act long lay dormant under the national "right" to abortion discovered in Roe v. Wade. But after the Supreme Court overturned Roe in 2022, Comstock came back in force—but both the Biden and second Trump administrations have failed to enforce it.

Despite the dangers and clear federal prohibition, the abortion pill has received surprisingly little scrutiny from the Trump administration—despite its crackdown on public funding of abortion both at home and abroad. President Trump has declared major drug cartels Foreign Terrorist Organizations, yet has so far failed to target an illegal drug cartel responsible for killing vastly more Americans each year than fentanyl: Big Abortion.

That illegal operation is aided by so-called "shield laws"—legislation designed to block extradition of abortionists who mail drugs to pro-life states so they can face justice. Currently, Louisiana and Texas are both suing the FDA for authorizing mifepristone access through the mail under President Joe Biden given its threat to women's health and state law.

Pro-life conservatives are pushing to reevaluate mifepristone's safety record and require it only be dispensed in-person and by qualified physicians. Whether they will succeed largely depends on President Trump's willingness to live up to his own ambition to be the "most pro-life president" in American history.
