By your numbers 10% are done after the 12th week, that represents about 160,000 abortions annually, or 400+ a day.. I'd hardly call that an irrelevant number. First, I don't want to minimize the reality of abortion at all, but the facts is the facts, and spreading misinformation (or disinformation) just weakens the cause.
The actual number of abortions performed in 1999 - the last year for which I could find data - was just under 862,000. Ten percent of that would thus be a little over half (86,179) of your imputed number. This from the CDC:
Abortion Surveillance - US, 1999
Snidely
Last numbers I saw were 1.6 Million a year, even if they are 862,000 that doesn't in the least make it less relevant... that's still 86,200 children a year are aborted after 12th week, which means nearly 250 a day... that's not an inrrelevant number.
That's still at least 2 times the number that die in car wrecks and more per year than died in the vietnam war.. just in the 10% category... calling that irrellevant is perposterous.
Abortion is infantacide, pure and simple.
