A protest will be held at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, Jay Street Uitca, New York on Saturday December 2 and will continue on each Saturday starting at 4:15 until an apology is received from newly elected Pro Abortion Congressman, Michael Arcuri and the Rev John Rose for allowing him to be honored at the Church contrary to the Policy of the Bishop, Diocese of Syracuse forbidding Catholic Churches from honoring or allowing Pro Abortion politicians to speak at any Church or Church facility.

Why the drop after 1960? (in deaths of women from illegal abortions)
The reasons were new and better antibiotics, better surgery and the establishment of intensive care units in hospitals. This was in the face of a rising population. Between 1967 and 1970 sixteen states legalized abortion. In most it was limited, only for rape, incest and severe fetal handicap (life of mother was legal in all states). There were two big exceptions California in 1967, and New York in 1970 allowed abortion on demand. Now look at the chart carefully.

Abortion Statistics - Decision to Have an Abortion (U.S.)
· 25.5% of women deciding to have an abortion want to postpone childbearing
· 21.3% of women cannot afford a baby
· 14.1% of women have a relationship issue or their partner does not want a child
· 12.2% of women are too young (their parents or others object to the pregnancy)
· 10.8% of women feel a child will disrupt their education or career
· 7.9% of women want no (more) children
· 3.3% of women have an abortion due to a risk to fetal health
2.8% of women have an abortion due to a risk to maternal health
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So how many womens lives have been saved by abortion?
Only about 3% of abortions since 1972 were reported to be due to a risk to maternal health. A reasonable person would recognize that not all of those cases represent a lethal risk. But lets say they did. That means that nearly 45 million fetuses were butchered to save the lives of about 1.3 million women. Or put another way; 35 babies are killed to save each woman.
Abortion was legal in all 50 states prior to Roe v. Wade in cases of danger to the life of the woman.

In our dreams!
From where?
Utica is a LOT different from Ithaca. Ithaca has Cornell and is full of liberals. Utica is full of hard working folk and a lot of Italians, who are mainly conservative, I would guess. I used to love going to Utica as a youngster. It's failed a lot since then but it was an interesting city at one time.
Thank you for pointing out the differences between Utica and Ithaca. Yes, many years ago I lived in an Italian community and it was very conservative, even though many of the people thought they were Democrats. I wonder how they voted in 2004...
Pro-life bump
Well, back in the 'olden days' they probably were more conservative than most demonrats are today. I was a democrat until Bill Clinton soiled its name and I got out and took hubby with me. But I mostly voted Republican anyway.
