For every 100 babies born in New York City, women had 74 abortions in 2004, according to newly released figures that reaffirm the city as the abortion capital of the country. And abortions for out-of-town women performed in the city increased from 57 to 70 out of every 1,000 between 1996 and 2004, a subtle yet noticeable trend that experts say may reflect growing hurdles against the procedure in more conservative parts of the country.

The new Vital Statistics report released by the city Department of Health this month shows there were 124,100 live births, 11,700 spontaneous abortions and 91,700 induced abortions in the city in 2004. That means 40 out of 100 pregnancies in the city ended in a planned abortion - almost double the national average of 24 of 100 pregnancies in 2002, estimated by the Alan Guttmacher Institute, a Manhattan-based nonprofit group that researches reproductive health issues.

The ones who could afford it could, just as they used to travel in the 30s, 40s, 50s, etc.

The only difference being that travel is even easier and cheaper now.

Now I am totally against abortions once I saw that what I thought was a mass of cells ended up being Zaine and Kendra who carry my last name. God save the children! >>

How right you are, I'm glad you now see the light!

Your girlfriend gave birth to two girls, two humans, both who became human at conception. There were complete with their 46 chromosomes (23 of which came from you their dad). In a matter of seconds every aspect of their being was programmed: hair color, height, intelligence, etc. From that point on nothing changes. Human, from Conception until natural death.

And while we murder and abort our future generations the Muslims and their slave women have 7 + children per couple. Yes western women have liberated themselves to ensure the future enslavement of future enslavement of women via the rise of Islam.

Do you know if this statement is correct?

An abortion will occur approximately every 25 seconds in the U.S....

It's from this page: Abortion, Rights of Choice for only some? Are babies owned?

You're welcome! :)

Sodom and Gomorrah.

The New Yorker article points out the fact that New York gets more and more pro-choice every year and the fact that the Right to Life Party now has ZERO influence, especially after getting dropped from the ballot.

In short, socially conservative voters mean NOTHING in New York.

Thanks for the ping on the New York abortion article--will read later.

[nutmeg]

Astounding and sickening...

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

You're welcome.

I overlooked it before, but Coleus apparently posted a link to the accompanying article, which describes a group that actually facilitates the abortion process by providing housing during their stay in this city.

The Lizza article got a lot of media attention when it was first published in New York Magazine.

In fact, Laura Ingraham had an extensive interview with the author, who also hit the rest of the talk show circuit, e.g. NPR.

But yes, the demise of the RTL party in this state is shameful.

I think the last time they were on the ballot was in the previous gubernatorial election, when I voted for their standard-bearer, Gerard Cronin.
