Famous People Who Might Not Be Alive

In perusing a favorite blog from Dan Cirucci I came across a cartoon depicting what might have happened if the now famous might not have been on this planet because they were aborted.

Then, I went to another site that listed 17 famous people whose mothers backed out abortions at the last minute because of their conscience or that they went against advice from a doctor. How many abortions have been done in this country not to mention around the world that might have spawned brilliant minds? We'll never know but I do have a listing of those who survived. Interestingly, I saw John Paul II on the list.
