Regardless of your stance on abortion, if true, this is a very troubling number.

Drudge has this
headlined, and Twitter is buzzing over the appalling statistic reported by ABC and CBS
stations in New York City over the abortion rate in 2009, as determined by the
Big Apple’s Health
Department. For the year, New York City reported 214,454 pregnancy
outcomes, of which 126.774 were live births and just 407 were spontaneous
terminations — miscarriages. However, 87,273 pregnancy outcomes were abortions
(induced terminations), which constituted 41% of all pregnancy outcomes:

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.

Thanks, sam. This is indeed a staggering number.
A solution? Education, education, education. And then some.

Education is not working. Today there are far more birth control options than ever before in history and yet abortion goes up. Everyone knows what "the pill" is and what a condom is. There are IUD's that last years or that tube that is surgically implanted under skin that last years.

Maybe a more permanent solution can be offered for free for women

In America abortion is birth control.
The torture and murder of the unborn....we should be so proud of ourselves.

The best way to prevent abortion (whether pro-choice or pro-life) is TO PREVENT women who do not want children from getting pregnant.   This is THE AREA of common ground.

For chronic drug addicts who have had several addicted children already, they are opting to get their tubes tied and get paid for it.   If they cannot get pregnant, they can't get abortions or have addicted medically compromised infants that end up in foster care.

I think the program should be expanded to ANY WOMAN who wants this procedure because they are finished having children.   The program should be expanded to men who want vasectomies also.

$300 paid to Addicts to get sterilized. http://www.voicesforlife.net/2010/03/attention-women-get-sterilized-and-well.html
