Minorities do, in fact, have a greater number of abortions in proportion to their percentage of population. Margaret Sanger would be proud.
Some statistics which I have been unable to track down include the number or percentage of abortions performed to save the life of a mother and the number of abortions performed on women who have survived rape (including incest). If anyone has solid numbers regarding these statistics, please freep me.
