And all you have is hysterical anecdotal evidence for that claim.
Nice to know that it's the prospect of welfare rolls that allows you to accept the 'killing of babies'. That IS the language of 'right to life proponents'.
And you enhance your credibility not in the least with absurd claims of 60M abortions.

How many abortions happen a year?
Abortion Surveillance—Findings and Reports. In 2014, 652,639 legal induced abortions were reported to CDC from 49 reporting areas. The abortion rate for 2014 was 12.1 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years, and the abortion ratio was 186 abortions per 1,000 live births.Nov 16, 2017
United States: In 2003, from data collected in those areas that sufficiently reported gestational age, it was found that 6.2% of abortions were conducted between 13 and 15 weeks, 4.2% between 16 and 20 weeks, and 1.4% at or after 21 weeks.[19] In 2014, the CDC reported that 1.3% of reported abortions (5,578) were performed at 21 weeks of gestation or later.[20]
The NRLC calculates a figure through 2017 by assuming that the same number of abortions performed in 2014 – 926,200 – were performed the following years as well. The organization then adjusts the total number of abortions upward by 3 percent to account for underreporting.

Abortions have declined almost every year since 1990 due in part to greater access to contraception, including longer-term birth control options like Intrauterine Devices (IUDs).
The decline has occurred despite a growing population in the U.S.
In fact, there are proportionally fewer abortions being performed today than when Roe v. Wade was decided. Abortions per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 fell from 16.3 in 1973 to 14.6 in 2014, according to the Guttmacher Institute.
About 39 percent of the women who had abortions in 2014 were white, 28 percent were black and 25 percent were Hispanic. Proportionally speaking, there were 10 abortions per 1,000 white women, 27.1 per 1,000 black women and 18.1 per 1,000 Hispanic women.
