"what I would call making abortion “rare”."

I read on FR the other day that "80,000 abortions were performed in the state of NY".

I didn't believe the poster, so I looked it up. The poster was completely wrong....per "The Guttmacher Institute" (which I wasn't familiar with at the time), in 2011 *alone* there were 138,370 abortions performed in New York.

That's a city. A fair-sized city. At that rate, over 10-12 years, you could populate a decent-sized state.

And, there are 49 other states that are performing abortions (though, to be fair, NY is the largest one, I think).

I really had no idea of the extent of the issue. This is not "rare", nor are they all a "product of rape or incest". Truly, FR is an educational site.

At the rate of over 50 Million aborted babies in the US alone, I would call it our American Holocaust.
