Pro-death crowd concocts another reason to blame Bush.

[Dahoser]

Camp urged promoting abortion businesses so abortion practitioners could tell women about contraception use after they have an abortion -- even thought most women having repeat abortions were using contraception at the time.

Right, because here in the Middle Ages, there are no other means of obtaining information than by word of mouth.

[kittymyrib]

Promiscuity just might be the cause of this phenomenon...but this article studiously avoids any stats about how many of these repeat offenders are married. My guess is not many.

[rxgalfl]

She also claimed the Bush administration's "wall of separation" between family planning clinics and abortion centers led to more abortions.

I am not sure if it is funny or scary that these people actually believe their rabid, dogmatic, repetitive lines.

[dforest]

Maybe it has more to do with the fact that once someone has done it, they have no problem repeating it.

[CDHart]

"Now, about half of every abortion done annually"

Peculiar phrasing. Don't they teach these people to write in journalism school?

The Death Culture is still out there, talk about cognitive dissonance...

"The answer to abortions is more abortions"

"We need to get these woman in here to discuss birth control (after they have had an abortion)"

Peculiar phrasing. Don't they teach these people to write in journalism school?

We may have to cut Steve a little slack; he writes quite a few articles every day and is bound to slip up now and then. I'm guessing the pro-lifers assiduously avoid (or are barred from) the J schools, where about the only thing they'd be taught is how to editorialize news.

[Northern Yankee]

This is truly sad.

We have a very selfish generation. It's all about "me" for too many.

[Gaffer]

You're probably right. My niece has had two that I know of, has one child, and still isn't married. Can't find a man decent enough that is willing to marry her...she's a real piece of work...

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

There would not be any abortions(murders)if it were'nt for the selfishness,vanity,lack of responsibility and worship of all things evil by women.It was the weakness of Eve that took the first bite of the apple and then lured Adam into wickedness!

[randita]

"Now, about half of every abortion done annually"

You caught that as well. I thought to myself, how do you do half of an abortion? That's like being half pregnant.

Better wording: "about half of ALL abortions done annually".

[ethics]

Is this not part of the culture of death as promulgated by our Catholic Pro Abortion Senators?

Casey Jr. is the latest member of the Catholic Pro Abortion Senator Caucus!!!!

[Old Lady]

Now, about half of every abortion done annually is an abortion done on a woman who has had at least one previous abortion.... someone over the age of 30 who already has children and was using contraception at the time of the pregnancy.

What kind of contraception? Pills? Condoms?

I think some of these women are lying about the contraception.

What a sick society we live in.

[crazyhorse46]

Sharon Camp, the president and CEO of AGI, told Reuters, that the solution to the repeat abortion problem was more abortions...She also claimed the Bush administration's "wall of separation" between family planning clinics and abortion centers led to more abortions.

They need more abortions to stop abortions and the fact that there are abortions is Bush's fault.

[RGSpincich]

[Paleo Conservative]

But did the total number of abortions rise or fall? Is this due to a decrease in the number first abortions or an increase in repeat abortions? If it is due to decreasing numbers of first abortions, in later years the number of repeat abortions should delcine.

[Always Right]

Who needs contraception when you have abortion clinics performing more than 1 million abortions per year? Now with the morning after pill, abortions are even easier.

[Mark was here]

AGI said the typical profile of a woman having a repeat abortion is someone over the age of 30 who already has children and was using contraception at the time of the pregnancy.

What an amazing failure rate for the use of contraception. I don't buy it. I think they are lying about using anything, and killing the baby was their contraception plan all along.
