91,700 abortions in (NYC)city [40 out of 100 pregnancies ended in a planned abortion]

For every 100 babies born in New York City, women had 74 abortions in 2004, according to newly released figures that reaffirm the city as the abortion capital of the country. And abortions for out-of-town women performed in the city increased from 57 to 70 out of every 1,000 between 1996 and 2004, a subtle yet noticeable trend that experts say may reflect growing hurdles against the procedure in more conservative parts of the country.

The new Vital Statistics report released by the city Department of Health this month shows there were 124,100 live births, 11,700 spontaneous abortions and 91,700 induced abortions in the city in 2004. That means 40 out of 100 pregnancies in the city ended in a planned abortion - almost double the national average of 24 of 100 pregnancies in 2002, estimated by the Alan Guttmacher Institute, a Manhattan-based nonprofit group that researches reproductive health issues.

Then in that case, I would say I'd register Independent if that were an option. I voted Republican for my Congressman, and I generally do, for "business" conservatives.

Ping!

[Salvation]

Good question.

[petitfour]

Well, I voted in the RAT presidential primary in 2004. It was great fun.

Let's kill my baby...a form of birth control...talk about sick...

[trisham]

It's almost beyond belief.

[linda_22003]

The first one they'd had in several years, if I recall correctly. :) I didn't.

[Salvation]

**I don't believe that killing is a right. I am completely against abortion in any circumstance, including rape.**

May God bless you abundantly! Thank you for sharing your story!

He did make clear in a later post that this is not *his* story. If he had put quotation marks around it, he would have saved some people confusion.

Prayer shuts these "Houses of Killing" down. Continue to pray and if you can, joing one of the groups near your home praying across the street from the Planned Parenthood places.

I agree times have changed. Travel is cheaper and long-distance travel is more common.

Yes, I remember my joy in 1971, when Pa and Ma finally traded the buckboard and team for an old used car. Gosh, it was liked we owned the road. NOBODY was a-travelin' back then, compared to now.

That 30-cents-a-gallon gas was like to put us in the poorhouse, but we didn't mind cutting back on food and clothing and medicine to get the tank filled.

I simply cannot believe that in this day and age, with the myriad of contaceptives available and easily accessible, that there are so many stupid, irresponsible and lazy people out there doing this. Plenty of doctors are providing the service as well, obviously! I just don't know how these people (the women AND the doctors) live with themselves. I couldn't.

[Salvation]

I didn't see that post. Thanks.

Oops.

Even in the article it says: "The following is based on an interview 28 year-old Gianna Jessen gave to the Independent"

Guess I just missed it.

[Diamond]

It would seem that the Left, as a whole, is even more suicidal than we thought.

Homicidal might be a better term.

Cordially,

[trisham]

Thank you for that beautiful post. This article and thread are most depressing.

[Heartofsong83]

Those numbers are just disturbing.

Do they really tolerate that locally?

[Vision]

Did you read the whole article? The point is that women are beginning to travel in order to obtain abortions that are more difficult to get at home. They go back to their red states once they have traveled to New York

What states make abortions hard to get?

[linda_22003]

I'm at work, so I don't really have time to catch you up on a decade or two of legislative restrictions and clinic closings, state by state. :)
