40% Of Pregnancies In NYC End In Abortion
More abortions were performed in New York City than any other U.S. city in 2004, with 74 abortions performed for every 100 babies born, it was reported.
City health officials reported recently there were 91,700 induced abortions in the city in 2004. The New York Daily News reported Sunday that means 40 out of 100 pregnancies in the city ended in a planned abortion in 2004 -- almost double the national average of 24 of 100 pregnancies in 2002.
Abortions for out-of-town women performed in the city increased from 57 per 1,000 to 70 out of every 1,000 between 1996 and 2004, the newspaper said, because of increased restrictions elsewhere. Twenty-five states have mandatory waiting periods; 35 states require parental consent or notification for minors; and six states require two visits before an abortion can be performed.
"If clinics are hard to get to, or the services are just unavailable, people are going to travel to get what in my mind is a critical public health service," said Joan Malin, president of Planned Parenthood of New York City.
40 out of every 100 pregnancies ended in abortion. And I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of those abortions had less to do with the typical excuses given by abortion advocates (poverty, etc.) and more to do with the simple fact that the women just didn't want to be pregnant. Convenience, in other words.
That's thousands of unborn children, all killed because the mothers (and sometimes fathers) couldn't muster the responsibility to deal with the consequences of their actions.
