I wouldn't be surpised to find that there have been more abortion doctors murdered than there were "witches" actually burned at the stake.
I'll see if I can find the numbers but it I remember correctly you're out by 2 or 3 orders of magnitude.
quote:
Nor were witches secret pagans serving an ancient Triple Goddess and Horned God, as the neopagans claim. In fact, no witch was ever executed for worshiping a pagan deity. Matilda Gage's estimate of nine million women burned is more than 200 times the best current estimate of 30,000 to 50,000 killed during the 400 years from 1400 to 1800-a large number but no Holocaust. And it wasn't all a burning time. Witches were hanged, strangled, and beheaded as well. Witch-hunting was not woman-hunting: At least 20 percent of all suspected witches were male.
