I've used this to send leftist bloggers into apoplexy. They seem to be of the opinion that abortions are had by a 'wide cross section' of humanity and NOT largely by the liberals....!?!?!?
You know, the more I read about this issue, the more, I think that I might be beginning to change my mind.
I am Republican, right wing, conservative, and evangelical, pro-life, born again……….whatever.
For the most part republicans raise little republicans and democrats raise up little democrats….. for the most part.
It’s also true that the ‘Lions Share’ of abortions are received by those who call themselves liberal or democrat.
According to the latest tally there has been something on the order of 60,000,000 abortions performed since Roe v. Wade, 1973. That’s a lot of ‘swing vote’…..
Thank you!
Personally I find it revolting, repugnant or despicable that one could find anything that could be called good in this unholy mess.
Once they attack the veracity of my point, I then offer them this........
In 2011, 17% of legal induced abortions occurred in California (AGI). In 2010, unmarried women accounted for 85% of all abortions (CDC).
Women living with a partner to whom they are not married account for 25% of abortions but only about 10% of women in the population (NAF).
Black women were 3.7 times more likely to have an abortion in 2010 than non-Hispanic white women (CDC).
The abortion rate of metropolitan women is about two times that of women who live in non-metropolitan counties (NAF).
The abortion rate of women with Medicaid coverage is three times as high as that of other women (NAF).
Women between the ages of 20-24 obtained 32.9% of all abortions in 2010; women aged 25-29 obtained 24.5% (CDC)
About 13 percent of American women are black, yet new figures from the CDC show they account for 35 percent of the abortions.
In 2012, there were more black babies killed by abortion (31,328) in New York City than were born there (24,758), and the black children killed comprised 42.4% of the total number of abortions in the Big Apple, according to a report by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
There were 6,570 more abortions than live births of black children. In total, there were 73,815 abortions, which mean the 31,328 black babies aborted comprised 42.4% of the total abortions.
The report is entitled, Summary of Vital Statistics 2012 The City of New York, Pregnancy Outcomes, and was prepared by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Office of Vital Statistics.

Call me crazy, but that’s not your average conservative.
Usually all you hear is crickets after that.................
