Shock: 40% of New York pregnancies aborted
Life Site News ^ | 1/5/12 | Peter Baklinski

NEW YORK, New York, January 5, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – With the highest abortion rate in the nation, nearly double the 23% national average, New York continues to be a place that babies in the womb cannot love.

New York City Department of Health released data that shows that 83,750 abortions were performed in New York City in 2010, which translated to 40% of all pregnancies, down from 41% in 2009.

The Bronx saw a staggering 48% of pregnancies end in abortion. The city lost 38,574 African-Americans babies to abortion, a dumbfounding 60% of the city’s African-American pregnancies. New York has the highest abortion rate in the country.

“In parts of the city more than half of all pregnancies end in abortion - this is very, very disturbing,” said Greg Pfundstein, Executive Director of the Chiaroscuro Foundation, a pro-life organization that says it was instrumental in the city’s decision to itemize the abortion and pregnancy statistics and release them in a more timely manner.

The only shock to me is that it isn`t higher. After all, the partial-birth abortion-supporting”leader” in the WH considers babies a “punishment.”

280 innocent lives snuffed out every day in just one American town. The liberals must be very proud.

I wonder how many of these are partial-birth murders?

This is really sad, and combined with the fact that Rasmussen came out with poll results that said that only 43% of Americans are pro-life, while 49% are pro-abortion. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/january_2012/49_of_voters_are_pro_choice_43_pro_life It just goes to show we still a lot of progress to make.

The abortionists and women who have abortions in NYC are no different than the thugs sitting on Death Row.

Other cities with high abortion rates can lay claim to being Sobibor,Majdanek,and Treblinka...

...New York City is Auschwitz.

Well, that's 40% less liberals in the next generation. /sarc

But seriously, can you imagine being part of that generation, knowing when you get to school, for every three kids you see, you know two other were aborted.

A partial birth abortion in no worse than a first trimester abortion as they are both murder.

The city lost 38,574 African-Americans babies to abortion, a dumbfounding 60% of the city’s African-American pregnancies.

If conservatives killed this many African-American babies it would be "genocide" (the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group). Of course, when the liberals/progressives do it, it's only "pro-choice".

NYC must be getting close to dropping below the Genesis 18:32 limit for the faithful.

Nah, look at it this way; 38,574 future welfare recipients that we don’t have to pay for.

New York City offers free condoms at more than 3,000 locations: http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/pr2011/pr003-11.shtml

I guess condoms don't work as well as their supporters claim.
