Letter the Editor: Leading cause of death

Dear Editor:

What is the leading cause of death in the U. S. of A?

1.Cancer

2.Heart disease

3 Fentanyl laced drugs for an open Southern Border

4 None of the above

Number 4 is correct. The real answer = abortion.

Think about it - 3,000 a day..

Regards,

John Stiegelmeyer

GB February 27, 2024, 9:02 pm Not sure why anyone with an ounce of independent thought would trust the numbers from the CDC after what they did to inflate the Covid numbers. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Especially when so many sources do not count abortion as a cause of death because they refuse to count a fetus as a person. RS, we all know you live in a little bitty world and so that pretty much disqualifies your opinions as anything more than just opinions. John, again they missed the point..

RS February 26, 2024, 7:27 pm Thank you, DE, for providing true facts about the causes of death in the U.S. John, I am not going down the rabbit hole of abortion but again point out to you that if you are going to include supposed “facts’ to justify your position, please do some research to make sure your facts are actually true. Why do you think it important to send out false information about abortion rates but stay silent on what the Alabama Supreme Court has just done to limit or totally eliminate IVF procedures? The court, without medical expertise, decided that any embryo frozen for IVF will be considered a person possibly resulting in criminal charges for physicians or patients. I do not understand all that IVF entails, but I do know that it is a complicated procedure that sometimes requires numerous embryos before one actually takes. This is why courts and elected officials should not be deciding healthcare procedures. In my little world, I know of at least 3 children born from IVF. We all probably know of many other families who now have children because of IVF. Rosemary Schwartz

PW February 26, 2024, 4:03 pm John, how about sterilizing anyone who’s had one abortion? PW

RB February 26, 2024, 3:50 pm John, turn Fox News off and do some real research!

PS February 26, 2024, 3:37 pm Oh, Johnny, oh! How could your numbers be so far different? According to CDC as reported on WebMD: The top 10 causes of death accounted for almost 75% of all deaths in the U.S. in 2021. Heart disease (695,547) Cancer (605,213) COVID-19 (416,893) Accidents (224,935) Stroke (162,890) Chronic lower respiratory diseases (142,342) Alzheimer’s disease (119,399) Diabetes (103,294) Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis (56,585) Kidney disease (54,358)

DE February 26, 2024, 7:59 am Nope. Still heart disease. And nowhere near 3000 or day. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/ss/ss7209a1.htm
