Clergy Slam NYC's 40% Abortion Rate

Stanek weekend question: Where are obvious places religious leaders can help lower NYCs soaring abortion rates?
Pro-choice and pro-life groups alike are shuddering at the news that 4 out of every 10 pregnancies in NYC ends in Abortion. Data released Friday by the city’s Health Dept. reveals that in 2009, there were 87,273 abortions and 126,774 live births. The abortion rate broke down along demographic and geographic lines: 60% for black women, 41% for Hispanics, 22% for Asians and 20% for white women…. Overall, the Big Apple’s abortion rate is more than twice the national average of 19%...

Babies in Trash Cans
Posted by JM Ashby Joining us tonight in the WTF File is -again- Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) who seems to have some sort of fanatical fetish for the subject of unwanted pregnancies and Abortion. The man just can't stop himself from blurting out the most ridiculous things that come to mind in his efforts to fearmonger over abortion, unwanted pregnancies, and non-traditional families. Here was Steve King just this past week on the subject of abortion: I often go into a High School auditorium or mee...

Rise in abortions in China, young women targeted
XI'AN, China - The leaf-strewn median on Eternal Peace Road hides a grim secret: Numerous tiny fetuses lie in Unmarked Graves dug by women from the Abortion clinic across the street. The staff at the small clinic in the heart of this ancient city don't bury most of the fetuses — only those that have reached three or four months, when they clearly resemble miniature babies. "This big," says anesthesiologist Liu Jianmin, using her thumb and index finger to measure out the length of a l...

Dr. Drew Pinsky has indicated that MTV’s No Easy Decision Abortion special made him uncomfortable: “The topic makes me uncomfortable,” Pinsky admitted Thursday at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena . “But the paradigm there is I felt the conversation was worth having.

Shock: 41% of New York City Pregnancies End in Abortion
A new statistic released by the New York City health department is shocking pro-life advocates across the country today as it shows 41 percent of pregnancies end in Abortion. That compares with the figure of about 20 percent of pregnancies nationwide ending in abortions, as the abortion rate has been reduced over the last two decades from one in three to one in five pregnancies resulting in an abortion and the destruction of human life. The new city numbers, from 2009, show 87,273 abortions in N...

Rush Limbaugh on New York Citys Staggering Abortion Numbers Audio 1/7/11
Here is audio of Rush Limbaugh yesterday dropping truly shocking Abortion statistics being reported by ABC New York (their article actually says 39%). In New York City, 41% of all pregnancies end in Abortion - and the rate among Minorities is even higher (60% among Blacks, 41% among Hispanics, 23% among Asians). The rate among “Non-Hispanic Whites” in 2009 was 20%. Rush takes issue with the leftist takeaway from those numbers - That there is something wrong with “...

New York abortion rate review shows 39% of pregnancies terminated

The Big Apple’s Health Department reported on over 210,000 pregnancies in 2010. Over 87,000 of those pregnancies ended in terminations.

It’s not a measure of pregnancies, but...

Not yet released, Abby Johnsons book is shooting up the charts!
I received an advanced copy yesterday and have had a hard time putting it down. It’s excellent - compelling, intriguing, full of insight, and giving me a lot to think about. Here’s a description: Abby Johnson quit her job in October 2009. That simple act became a national news story because Abby was director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas who, not long after assisting in an actual Abortion procedure for the first time, cross the line to join the Coalition for Life .

Shocking: 41% Of Pregnancies In New York End In Abortion
Appalling, though not exactly a new development. This figure is actually down from 46% in 1998. New and eye-opening statistics about the rate of Abortions in New York City have been released by the Health Department.

Catholic Church Abortion-Shames New Yorkers, But of Course They're Missing the Point
​Abortion. Saying the word in the midst of a cocktail party will hush even the most intrepid of irreverent souls. Because even if you're pro-choice, you can't actually be pro-abortion, at least not in any public Fashion. Baby killing is always, always, always bad. Right? Which is perhaps why the much-maligned Pedophile-priest-troubled generally rather sexist and without-a-clue Catholic Church has glommed on to abortion as one of the things it can censure in New York City without fear of ...

Light of Christ Can Overcome Abortions Culture of Death
Herod was motivated by intense fear and desperation, which lead him to destroy others to preserve his position and protect his throne.   So often today fear motivates terrible decisions, adding to the culture of death in which we find ourselves.  Our culture tends to disregard hope while overemphasizing every fear to the extent that death is seen as the answer to many difficult human struggles.  Death is promoted as the answer to a difficult Pregnancy.  Death is often th...

Shockingly, Women Need Contraceptive Services.
The Guttmacher Institute has updated its report on the need for contraceptive services at both the national and state levels in 2008. While the number of women of childbearing age has remained steady, the number of women seeking contraceptive services has risen 6 percent since 2000. That's mirrored in the rise in the number of women who need publicly-funded reproductive services. A lot of it is driven by a rise in the need among women of color. Publicly-funded clinics helped avoid more than 400,...

The Pipeline looks something like this: A projection of $14.5B in contraceptive revenue is made, companies push to produce, approve and market the next big drug, Bayer sends out a “Youth Truck” to assess the prospective customers and get Ugandan Children familiar with the idea of prescription Birth Control (while women in the west see more and more ads), and Planned Parenthood and Marie Stopes have their clinics, those philanthropic beacons of family planning, write the prescriptions...

How a Christian charity evolved into state-funded 'equality' campaigners
What would YWCA's founders think of today's equality dogma? (Photo: The Women's Library) The YWCA, formerly the Young Women’s Christian Association, has dropped its title after 156 years because “it no longer stands for who we are”. Instead the organisation will be known as “Platform 51”, a rather enigmatic-sounding name that could be a Wesley Snipes film, a band or the route to Hogwarts. In a sense the name doesn’t matter; what’s significant is how t
