It’s not just artists - I’m in the theatre in NY so I’ll do a little bit of defense on the arts crowd. Remember, there are thousands of young women who come to New York to make it in business. In fact, most of my young neighbors are in business, not the arts. In any case, your statistics are deeply upsetting. Thanks for posting.
“In the theatre” - sounds like an interesting life! Can I ask you, do you have any idea what that particular zip (10018) has the very highest rate of abortion (67% of all recent pregnacies ended in abortion!) in NYC? That just seems SO high.
