NYC Abortion Stats-- Double U.S. Avg

.........................................................................................................................


It's the 41st "anniversary" of Roe v Wade, so I thought I would post some illuminating stats.

Statistics are from the New York City Department of Health, 2010-- and they are staggering.

NYC has the highest rate of abortion in the nation-- almost double.

Believe it or not, the numbers do reflect the overall national decline.

.........................................................................................................................



According to the most recent statistics, just made available by the New York City Department of Health:


There were 208,541 pregnancies in New York City in 2010.

They resulted in 124,791 live births and 83,750 abortions, a 40% abortion rate.

Among non-Hispanic blacks -- 38,574 [abortions] to 26,635 [live births], or 60% .

The abortion rate among teens as a whole was 63% - 12,139 abortions to 7,207 live births.

For every 1,000 babies born among New York City teens 1,684 were aborted.


16% of all pregnancies in New York City - 14% of abortions - were with teen mothers.

54% of abortions were with mothers in their 20's;

30% of abortions were with mothers in their 30's or 40's;

14% of abortions were with married mothers.



Here's the kicker:

In New York, the following restrictions on abortion were in effect as of January 1, 2014:

New York does not have any of the major types of abortion restrictions—such as waiting periods,

mandated parental involvement or limitations on publicly funded abortions—often found in other states.


BUT

... out of 87,273 abortions, only about 7,000 terminations were done on out-of-state residents.

Obviously, the lax laws-- esp regarding funding-- have an effect.

Agree or disagree?

Why?

Democrat women keep killing off their babies by the million (and often with no justification), and they wonder why decent men refuse to be with or marry them.

The scary thing is, whats next? The legalization of murder?

I think the real issue is that abortions are allowed to take place at 24 weeks (5 1/2 months), when babies have been born sooner and survived.

You can't teach people responsibility when they're already an adult.

What are the statistics on repeated abortions?

I know someone who has had 7 and still doesn't use protection, a member of staff at the clinic 'preached' to her with a leaflet and she took legal action.

Abortion is still illegal and needs a doctors consent that a pregnancy would be too traumatic for the mother to go through with it, but how does that apply if you don't take precaution to get pregnant again.

I know alot of people who have had abortions, and it was distressing for them but they knew that they didn't want to go through it again.

What about when mothers want to give the baby up for adoption and the father doesn't but the women wins as she will be forced to see the baby around town.

There was a case of the woman who sued the hospital because the baby she aborted survived.

And the horrifying cases in the Gosnell trial where surviving babies were murdered, and the NHS who left 66 babies to die.

My point being that 24 weeks is the limit given as scientifically no, NO baby could survive at that age, and I think this limit needs to be re-thinked.

Good point.

What did she 'preach' to her about-- her health I would imagine, but is THAT illegal, too?

What's odd is that the stats don't match up-- the Guttmacher institute says it affects all groups/races equally; it doesn't.

The dept of health contradicts that, entirely.

The whole thing stinks, imo.

WTF are you talking about? Have whatever stance you want on abortion, but this is one hell of an idiotic statement.

As for the OP...

Please state the source of the report in question..

Hmm

I linked all three sources in the OP.

Let me know if you're having trouble with any of them, and I'll try to find another link.

but as a counter point...

it is easy and honestly comforting to chalk up abortion to just moral deficits but you have to remember that they're indeed does exist a significantly taxing socio-economic environment in this city...one that isn't necessarily conducive to raising many of those would be live births.

I'm not sure if you're addressing me or not, but I made no reference to anyone's "moral deficits."

And I don't disagree with you.


On the contrary, I think many of these so-called "family planning" clinics prey on these young women; esp those who may be disadvantaged.

I also think the long-term effects, both physically and psychologically, are seriously downplayed.

That information, along with sex ed, ought to be shared freely; but it won't be because it's perceived as a threat to the abortion industry.


In California, restaurants have a grade from the health inspector in their front window so everyone can see-- A+ or C- or B, etc.

But abortion clinics go for years without being inspected?

Again, preying on young/disadvantaged women who can't really afford to object.


NY did mandate sex-ed last year, I think, but the effects will obviously take time.

Thanks for offering an intelligent response.

Why?

Unsafe sex, disease and pregnancy..no parental upbringing for the 20 yr. olds and teens...the list goes on.

New York State is the ONLY state that forces property owners to foot the bill for welfare and medicaid. 50% of my taxes covers that. New York State is the highest in taxes next to California.

We don't need regulation, and as one who has to foot the bill every year in property taxes that's equivalent to six mortgage payments...I'm all for not having any at all.

It comes down to supporting for 18 years or not.

NOT

....what really sucks is I DON'T LIVE ANY WHERE NEAR NYC!!!!!!!!!!

That's excessive.

Not sure what you're referring to regarding regulation, but a correlation has been shown between availability of welfare and the increase in teen/out of wedlock pregnancy.

So over-taxing property owners to fund it isn't exactly helping the situation-- some would argue that it's making it worse.

You don't have to tell me. There are people in NY who pay out the nose in property taxes, covering others who have lost their health insurance and now being told by law they have to pay MORE out of pocket to cover themselves. Obama forgot about NY apparently. In my eyes, that's a severe case of double dipping. Why not take the money everyone is paying out for welfare/medicare in property taxes and apply it to those same property owners who no longer have health insurance? Does that make sense? It's automatic...you pay your tax bill..health insurance is covered. Find another outlet to cover those who have been covered by the property owners over the years. Like I said..double dipping in the state of NY.
