To: Cincinatus' Wife

Number of abortions per year: Approximately 42 Million
Number of abortions per day: Approximately 115,000

1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest; 6% of abortions occur because of potential health problems regarding either the mother or child, and 93% of all abortions occur for social reasons (i.e. the child is unwanted or inconvenient).

While white women obtain 60% of all abortions, their abortion rate is well below that of minority women. Black women are more than 3 times as likely as white women to have an abortion, and Hispanic women are roughly 2 times as likely.

Not to nit pick but is that 42 million figure correct?

I seem to recall that as being about the total number since '73 when RvW was passed.
