91,700 abortions in (NYC)city [40 out of 100 pregnancies ended in a planned abortion]
NY DAILY NEWS ^ | January 15, 2006 | BY PAUL H.B. SHIN

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.

Most abortions are done by Liberal women
They are aborting their future voting base

Sick. I didn't know they had pictures of aborted babies online. But then again, what isn't online anymore.
I won't link it but it's 100 abortions.

I remember this was the way it was pre-Roe. Women did say they were going with friends to the city (NYC) for sight-seeing or whatever when the real reason was to get an abortion. They also knew this would ensure their anonymity. And the airlines obliged by actually promoting what everyone knew were "abortion flights" with special rates for quick trips to the city.

Then it was for lack of abortion clinics in some states, but there was a lot of these other reasons involved. Also women seemed to think that "what happened in NYC, stayed in NYC."

Anyway, none of this changes the fact that these statistics are appalling.

"91,700 abortions in (NYC)city [40 out of 100 pregnancies ended in a planned abortion]"

"It's disgusting the way those people use abortion as if it is birth control. ... This is just repulsive to me on the most basic human level. Those people have no inner spark, no soul. "

I'm with you. Anyone who doesn't think that abortion, premarital sex, promiscuity, the disdain for marriage, and attempts to destroy the Christian faith, among leftists, are not linked is crazy.

You might be curious to know that, in Communist Russia in the 1970s and 1980s, all of the above happened to young men and women. No marriage, no church worship, promiscuity, and worst of all, an average of four (4) abortions per woman over a lifetime. Can you imagine? 40-year old unmarried women who keep a straight face but are tortured inside, over what their society is telling them to do? No wonder the alchoholism rate was so high.

Reading the rest of your posts, it is quite clear that you want to be fooled. No use arguing with somebody who wants to be wrong.

This whole "evil fundamentalists are forcing women to go thousands of miles from home to seek a simple medical procedure" line is the latest DNC Talking Point on abortion. I'm sure we'll be hearing it again and again and again as cases come before the Alito Supreme Court.

practicing a bit of perfect narcissim are you this morning?
the cat like all living things are supposed to value the next generation, thats why pregnant women are viewed so fondly.
about your free will thing, just because you can do a thing, does not mean you should do it. ie, you can commit suicide at a moments notice, but guess what? you shouldnt. and finally, its not a choice, its an individual, in fact such a unique individual, there will never be another one like it.

Unfortunate news, but I understand that liberals and welfare women have more abortions.

****That part is pretty hard to understand. Moral considerations aside, the sheer expense of abortion vs. contraception would seem to be a deterrent.****

Don't forget, there's no expense if the gubmint (aka us) is paying for it. And there's not just Medicaid or 'Welfare'. All those 'free clinics' get gubmint funding (grants, etc) too.

The way things go, in 20 years or so New York will be a solidly Republican state.

Their claims to the contrary notwithstanding, it's the Democrats and their Liberal companions who are failing to reproduce.

That conclusion is not supported by any facts ~ it's a supposition the Guttmacher people have come up with to shore up their claim that it's Evangelicals and Catholics who are getting all the abortions.

yes, by all data they do, but you know what the converse of this issue is? guess what they will want to do to you when you are old and a useless eater? a thing that can be done at the beginning of life surely can be done when life is at its end. whats the term they use? parasite? dont mean to be cruel to anyone, but what do you call a person who is bedridden and a burden to society? yep, they will call you a parasite. and as the godless dems are so fond of telling us, parasites really have no rights.

There is a difference between out-of-town and out-of-state, that PP is playing on. I live a little over 1 hour NW of NYC, in the State of New York. So, if I went into NYC for an abortion I would be considered an out-of-towner, for the purposes of their statistics.

I go into NYC for opthomology (sp?) because there are better doctors. I have co-workers who live in New Jersey who routinely go into NYC for non-primary care medical treatment, because it is the most convenient place to receive that care.

My point is that many of the 56 to 70 "out of town" women may be from NY state or NJ. Woman who do not live in NYC, but who would normally go into NYC for medical treatment, not out-of-state women coming to NYC because it is more difficult to obtain an abortion in their home state, or because NYC is more anonymous.

The practice is protected by the appellate procedures of the Supreme Court. No one can STOP an abortion in either North Dakota or Mississippi.

...11,700 spontaneous abortions and 91,700 induced abortions in the city in 2004....

Sheesh, and Bloomie is in a tither over a few hundred gun homicides (some accidental) compared to a total of 103,400 baby murders?

There are also no statistics to prove that most fetuses who are aborted would have grown up to be liberal voters, but that doesn't prevent speculation that the liberal "base" is disappearing via abortion.

Spontaneous abortion is the medical term for miscarriage. Interesting that you consider it murder!

Indeed. This means a lot less liberals. I'm a logical person, so I'm approving of this report.

The government in NYC won't let you defend your family with a hand-gun... but they'll pay for its controlled-extermination.

The Liberal base is disappearing ~ that's why the Republicans have control of the federal government and of most state governments.

Liberals believe in abortion ~ it is their "god".

They have a false god.
