This is a most horrible statistic.
NEW YORK (WABC) — New and eye-opening statistics about the rate of abortions in New York City have been released by the Health Department.
It raises questions about the effectiveness of current birth control education.
41% of all New York City pregnancies end in abortion.
The rate for minorities is even higher.
It gets worse people. This really is a holocaust.
Broken down by race for 2009:
Specifically non-Hispanic Black’s have a 59.8% abortion rate.
Hispanics have a 41.3% abortion rate.
Asians have a 22.7% abortion rate.
And non-Hispanic Whites have a 20.4% abortion rate.
Sixty percent of all pregnancies for non-Hispanic blacks in NYC end in the death of the baby.
Stop the madness.
I feel that any additional commentary would be superfluous.

I sort of wonder if the numbers aren't higher– IIRC, abortion is a non-reportable medical procedure.

Here in RSA it's 57 percent end! Much higher!

The eugenicists are realizing their goals…Margaret Sanger would be proud. How very sad and disturbing.

Can we fast and pray enough to make reparations for this?

Yet the "philanthropists" in our American power structure are cozying up to glamorous "Women's Funds of " and perpetuating this hogwash that organizations like Planned Parenthood are working hard to educate pregnant females by offering options. Sure thing.

Proves that Planned Parenthood and Big Pharma are the most effective Jihadists.

If you take this alongside the two videos below – the baby playing in the room and the Pope visiting sick children – I don't know how anyone can read this and not weep.

Can anyone imagine all these unwanted babies being born? Why force these unwanted babies to live a life where no one cares about them. Their parents clearly don't want them. Who would support them? The welfare system? I don't want my tax dollars supporting these unwanted kids. The deficit is high enough.

Die, and decrease the surplus population, I believe is the quote you're looking for; the only thing that is clear is that, at one point, their mothers believed that it was better they not be pregnant than that their pregnancy continue.
Given the last 20 years of bald-faced lying about the simple scientific fact of a human life being ended in abortion, and further ignoring the dehumanization of those humans that aren't of clear use that is obvious in your statement, I sort of wonder if you realize there are times when you have not been wanted.
We'll ignore your false choice to justify murder, since it's sick enough to walk right into godwin's law.

It is fair to say that people who do not recognize or acknowledge the soul of the newly begotten innocent in the womb do not recognize or acknowledge their own immortal soul and therefore it may be said that they reject their own God-given, unalienable rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, their sovereign personhood and their very citizenship.

"It raises questions about the effectiveness of current birth control education."
Ya think?

New York becomes more pro-choice every year. After years of electoral free fall, the New York Right to Life Party failed to win enough votes in 2002 to stay on the ballot. The party doesn’t even have a Website anymore. The New York Right to Life Committee, which founded the national anti-abortion movement in 1967, hasn’t had a legislative victory in years. No pro-life candidate can win statewide office in New York. Ambitious Republicans climbing toward the governor’s mansion, like George Pataki, and now John Faso, hastily ditch their pro-life pasts. New York City’s mayor is one of the most pro-choice politicians in the country.

I agree with the Dutchman. The Right-to-Life Party in NYC has become a dinosaur and now its extinct. Similarly, the number of Catholic Churches and Schools are continually decreasing. From my observation, when populations become educated and can read for themselves they tend to reject the Catholic Church, but lucky for the Latino in Southern California. The Catholic Church as targeted these non-enlish speaking, low educated population as their next prey. The Latino groups are flocking to the church. They don't know any better.
January 8, 2011 at 3:27 pm
…ER, you are aware that those groups tend to not stay as Catholic as folks assume from their host countries?
I gotta love the idea that B16 is teh uneducated prey of the Church….

Early Riser would have been very comfortable in 1930s Germany. Make sure you exterminate the undesirables, and breed a population of wise ubermench.

It's not the real Early Riser. Starvation diet, I'm telling you, starvation diet.

@ Paul Zummo: Do you mean the 1930's where the Catholic Church stood by, in silent supported of the regimen in power in Germany?
January 8, 2011 at 11:02 pm
in silent supported [sic] of the regimen[sic] in power in Germany
While it's nice of you to stick to the talking points you learned from getting your education from the Nation magazine, in point of fact Pope Pius was anything but silent. You can start here and work your way through other books that disprove this line of attack.
