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.

If only they had more sex education in schools, there would be no need for abortion.

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

And a hell of a lot of Dems too!

I do not like abortion, however. The silver lining is that democrats embraced abortion rights and account for abut 69% of all abortions since Role vs. Wade. I dispise publically funded abortions but again the democrats prevailed spending our tax money to kill mostly their own population. Christian’s (about 70% of the republicans by many counts) raise families with a both a father and mother, unlike the democrats who are mostly single mothers and bra burning hipsters. The silver lining is that without 43 million more democrats pulling the level this year at the election booth, Obama and his minions will need all the illegal aliens they can “non-ID” to vote at the polls.

Their destiny is not predetermined by their parent’s values. Statistically speaking, you are probably right but predetermining which innocent lives are worth allowing and which are not is wrong. God makes those decisions.

Aborting innocent life is OK with you as long as the parents are lefties?

“Dems killing Dems.”

You don’t know that. Are you God? You can predict what the murdered innocent life would have been?

There is no silver lining in the abortion of innocent life.

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

Not that it makes much of a moral difference, but very few doctors will perform those.

In New York City (and Chicago), abortionists advertise their phone numbers on little posters in public transportation such as buses and subways. Waiting until the last minute is unlikely.

The earlier less gruesome abortions are the easiest, and that's the way the abortionists like it.

I am pro-life. I was just pointing out that, as designed by Sanger and her rascist cohorts, blacks are being wiped out. 92 percent of blacks vote commie.

Since you are in favor of pre-born babies being killed by abortion, you ARE a liberal.

An innocent pre-born baby does not have a party affiliation.

Killing them for the sins of their parents is murder.

The black community can thank Planned Parenthood!!

The "black community" can thank the demonicRat Party, for which it votes >90% in every election.

The "black community" can also thank itself ... Neither Planned Barrenhood nor the demonicRat Party forces those women at gunpoint to walk into the abortuary. They do it voluntarily, or they do it under pressure of their families ... all members of the "black community". They're committing ethnic cleansing on themselves.

You do, however, agree with killing babies.

Question is, are you an actual baby killer or do you just provide top cover for them?

I agree with you. I was merely pointing out the irony of their position.

Give me a break-I dont believe a two month old embryo is a human baby and neither do most people.
