Abortion Statistics
Filed under News, Revolution & Justice on January 18th, 2009 by Marcus FrenchFrom Bound4Life:
Abortion Worldwide
Annually, 46 million babies die from abortion worldwide. That’s approximately one baby being aborted every two seconds.
Abortion in the United States
An estimated 48 million babies have been aborted since 1973. Approximately 24% of all U.S. pregnancies end in abortion.
Characteristics of Women Having Abortions
- Over half (56%) of all women having abortions between 15-44 are in their 20’s.
- Nearly eight in 10 U.S. women obtaining an abortion report a religious affiliation.
- 43% are Protestant
- 27% are Catholic
- 8% are other religions
- 41% of women having abortions are white, 32% are black, and 20% are hispanic.
- Black and Hispanic women have higher abortion rates than non-Hispanic white women. Black women’s abortion rates are 49 per 1,000, Hispanic women’s are 33 per 1,000 and non-Hispanic white women’s are 13 per 1,000.
- According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, the most recurrent characteristics of women having abortions over time are nonwhite, poor and unmarried.
Reasons For Abortion
- 98% Personal Choice (unwanted or inconvenient)
- 1.7% Life/Health of Mother or Child
- .3% Rape/Incest
Abortion by Gestational Age
African American Community
- According to the CDC, each year 616,074 African Americans are born.
- 458,500 babies will have died from abortion.
- 284,877 blacks will have died that same year through anything from natural causes to heart disease.
- There are 743,377 Africans Americans dying yearly. This number is 127,303 more than those that are born.
- From 1973 to 2004, nearly 30% of the black population were erased through abortion. Out of the average 4,400 babies dying daily that are reported abortions, an estimated 1,300 are African American. They account for 32% of women having abortions yearly, yet make up only 13% of the American population. African American women are 3 times as likely to have an abortion than other women.

Thank you for the info!
And The world wonders why our economy is in the toilet….. we’re killing ourselves…. that’s 46 million lives a year worldwide not only not living… but not contributing to our planet and it’s economy… it’s not just greedy men in washington that caused this landslide of hell on earth… but all our failure to protect the unborn and allow ourselves to live.
is very interesting your information, thanks and go ahead
God bless you in charlotte and me in mexico
i totally agree with all of the statistics. i believe that murder is murder no matter when a person believes that a life actually begins. even though that is the women’s body she has to realize that its not only hers it somebody else’s to now and she has to protect that baby from any thing that can harm it. which is kind of contradictive on my part being that a baby can harm the mothers body may actually be able to kill it. but i still believe that anyone that has an abortion should go to jail for it and have an even a longer sentence than if they had killed an adult because the baby is innocent.
how can someone kill and inocent baby which even though isnt fully develpo is a person….. i pray 4 the abortionists i hope they will one day realize wa they r doing…..:(
Very informative. Thanks, and yes, it is only money that rules the world. When the planet needs us, will we be there?
[...] well. But then, is killing a baby because because it is unwanted or inconvenient, as is the case in 98% of abortions in the U.S., really any better? Spread the [...]
Wow.
To James N, you’re extremely misinformed. The number of abortions in the world is not the direct cause of our plummeting economy. You can think whatever you want about abortion and whether it’s right or not, but just know that our nation’s debt from Roosevelt’s extensive spending (which put us in huge debt, but was very beneficial during the Great Depression) as well as some of Bush’s unnecessary tax cuts, and his laissez-faire policies are the majority of the reason our country’s economy is, as you so eloquently put it “in the toilet.”
Also, I happen to be pro-choice, but I don’t support abortion. In fact, i think it would be better if no one got abortion, but unfortunately, you don’t really know until you’re in the situation. If you are irresponsible and get pregnant at 16, you should deal with the consequences, however, if you are raped and you are at high risk of dying during the delivery of your baby due to health complications, I think you should most definitely have the choice of abortion. And you don’t necessarily have to get abortion. If you catch your pregnancy early enough you can have your fertilized eggs released and frozen so someone else can have the baby.
I just believe that no woman who has been raped should be told by someone else that they HAVE to have a baby, especially someone who hasn’t been through anything as brutal and depreciating as rape. Many may say “Since when can a woman claim the right to kill an innocent baby?” and I can see why they would think that, but I believe a woman has the right to have the fetus removed form her body when it has been concieved in such a disgusting, scarring way as rape. After her body has been taken as someone’s property in a horrid way, she shouldn’t then again be denied the rights to her own body and her own future health. <!– /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:SimSun; panose-1:2 1 6 0 3 1 1 1 1 1; mso-font-alt:??; mso-font-charset:134; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:3 680460288 22 0 262145 0;} @font-face {font-family:”Arial Narrow”; panose-1:2 11 6 6 2 2 2 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:647 2048 0 0 159 0;} @font-face {font-family:”\@SimSun”; panose-1:2 1 6 0 3 1 1 1 1 1; mso-font-charset:134; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:3 680460288 22 0 262145 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:”"; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:”Times New Roman”; mso-fareast-font-family:SimSun;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} –>

Think how much worse the economy would be if all of those unwanted babies had been born. We’re nearing 11% unemployment as it is.
One of the underlying lessons in the world economy is that it runs on cycles. There is usually an economic slump of some kind every 25 years or so. This is the natural consequence of our economic system.
Of course, it would need more childcare and it would mean a greater level of maternity leave. Although, it could be argued that these things actually create jobs for unemployed people/ unskilled workers to retrain.
You cannot say that additional births would make the economy worse and have a valid point.
Just think, 24% of children are aborted, if the necessary ratio of childcare workers is say… 1 adult to every 3 children, then in fact, we’d be creating a surplus of jobs rather than damaging the economy.
This would create a need for more childcare workers - but let’s cross our bridges when we come to them eh?
Marc
You cannot say that additional births would make the economy worse and have a valid point.
Answer: We’ve already got about 25,000 children starving to death every day as it is.
Just think, 24% of children are aborted,
Answer: 15% of fetuses are miscarried. Some intelligent design huh?
Laura the economy would be worse but what about the crime rate and our prison system?
That’s one of the most unsatisfactory answers you have ever given Bernie.
Amanda said, “I happen to be pro-choice, but I don’t support abortion.” What confusion and what audacity to tell James N that he is the one who is ”extremely misinformed.” But the confusion doesn’t stop there, it continues with some nonsense about Bush’s tax cuts being the real reason why the economy is in trouble. I think it is more likely proliferate government spending and over (and miss-) regulation of the economy that is the problem.
My question is when will people stop complaining, and start really praying? Do people not realize that God is BIG? God in Genesis 20:17 had no problem closing the wombs of the women. When will the Church start praying the word of God, and asking Him to do what we have been unable to do? Maybe it is because we don’t believe He can! Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever. This is not a court fight, this is a God fight! I just wonder if enough Christians started praying this, if just maybe, we might actually get God to move on our behalf?
Dear Amanda,
you said:
“And you don’t necessarily have to get abortion. If you catch your pregnancy early enough you can have your fertilized eggs released and frozen so someone else can have the baby.”
is that a joke? that is just a pre-conceived idea. It has never been put into action and if it were to ever work, it would be extremely expensive. What kind of person who wants an abortion would go to that extreme to save their baby? None.
you also said “In fact, i think it would be better if no one got abortion, but unfortunately, you don’t really know until you’re in the situation.”
wrong. I have been in the situation. I got pregnant at 17 and abortion never crossed my mind. It was never an option. I was either going to have the baby and keep it, or have the baby and give it up for adoption. What you say is a pathetic excuse for people who have had abortions. I took responsibility the moment of conception.
You also talk about rape for most of your argument. The number of women seeking abortions who have been raped is a miniscule number, almost irrelevant. Yes, it’s a horrible thing, but two wrongs don’t make a right.
Thank you and god bless :)
The fact that “Pro Choice” is focused on abortion, and NOT other choices, is no accident/ They receive money from a variety of sources:
Tax dollars
Females coming to their clinics for the abortions
Marketing and selling of babies’ body part.
This last one is BIG BUSINESS, and the fact that this is an activity that hovers ‘under the radar,’ and is ‘done in the dark,’ speaks to the fact that it is horrifying, depraved, and illegal.

How dare you say things like this. Killing is killing. I get angry every time I hear things like this. Its not about the economy or nothing else. Babies are being killed everyday. That is your consequence for laying down and having sexual intercourse before marriage. Deal with it. Grow up and be an adult. I am only 16 and you think I am not tempted. I made the choice to stay a virgin for my husband. I see it like this don’t lay down and open your legs and you won’t have to worry about it. You chose to lay down so you get your consequence. A baby isn’t an item that you can return. The Lord says in his word Thy should not kill, and you disobeying him. I’m sure you don’t mean to, even if you do, you should be put in prison. It’s the same as if you were to walk in a room and kill two people. So don’t try to justify your wrongs. I’m not the one to judge, but you will recieve your judgement. There are alternatives to abortion. find them.
So Alexis,
If someone makes a mistake by having sex prior to marriage, that person should bring an unwanted child into the workd and just “deal with it”. You really are 16 years old. Your post is immature.
There are thousands of unwanted children in the US, many of whom are from the unwanted minorities (i.e., Black boys). These children languish in foster care because their mothers and absent fathers haven’t “dealt with it”.
Abortion is a personal choice. You “Christians” can keep ranting and raving, but women will do what’s best for themselves. As they should since I don’t see “Christians” advocating health care for the poor, subsidized daycares for working mothers, etc.
Hopefully, as you grow up, you will realize that individual freedom = individual choice. God gave Adam and Eve the choice to either obey or disobey His commands. I don’t understand why “Christians” have so much problems with women making choices of their own, which do not impact you all in any way whatsoever.
Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice both views meet at one common point: life. They want to protect the life of the mother or life of the baby. Legalized or not, abortions will always be debated in our society. It’s not possible to decide on a particular suit of rules that would suit either argument. It all comes down to the individual approach of the mother and her circumstances that will continue to help her make the decision.
Just responding to comment number two, ah what about the over population of the world? Maybe it’s a good thing that some of these babies aren’t being born
Layla,
Actually, the world is not overpopulated. I’d be interested to know what sources you’re relying on here if you have time to post them.
Also, if you feel that the world is overpopulated, would that justify killing the elderly or killing little children? Obviously not. So, once you realize that the baby in the womb is a real human being, you wouldn’t kill that baby either.
To those who think that a raped woman having to give birth is worse than an abortion, you need to really study the issue. The effects of abortion on a woman, both physically and emotionally are horrendous. It is much safer, both physically and emotionally, to give birth and give the child up for adoption.
For someone who wants to take a real look at abortion from a doctor who used to be an abortion provider: http://www.afterabortion.org/hope/arti61.htm
continuing on from 22
Why do you think global warming is happening, there are too many people. Australia is considering removing the baby bonus to stop couples having babies and to deter the population. I’m ot saying abortion is the answer, but it could help the situation.
Layla,
As surely as you and I exist, global warming is not being caused by too many people on planet earth! If ever there was a myth, this was it.
Global warming has been proven to be virtually nonexistent. Some of the temp reading devices were moved from cooler places to warmer ones…like from mountaintops to parking lots. Not only that…but there are many places in the planet that are actually colder. Over the last ten years…the temps went up…only to go back down during the last 2 or 3. I could go on about all the reasons it is a farce.
These are all things the main stream media don’t tell you because the whole thing is about control…not about saving the planet. If it were, you would see a major lifestyle change in the ones at the top who scream the loudest about the supposed global warming.
However…supposing it was true…our presence does not impact the environment nearly as much as volcanoes and other natural events.
Just my two cents.
There are millions of babies being born every year from unfit teenage mothers. They usually give their parents the responsibility and do not have any finances to help pay for their baby. The ghettos are screaming with mothers who can not take care of their children and the child has to suffer in poverty creating all sorts of disorders. Not only that why is it the man who is the most pro- life advocate. I KNOW the women have a more say so than any one and if she chooses to get an abortion it is her right and her right to her body. The man has a say so but most men these days do not even take care of their child so they end up having no fathers. There are Statistics to prove more women are single mothers than ever before. And there are just as many babies being born than there are abortions.
As for religions taking place in this argument…..you only feel religious when it comes to abortion? What about the poor? What about drinking? What about drugs? What about being rude to others? And if one is so religious about having an abortion then why did one have premarital sex in the first place?
Women are going to have abortions regardless of the law. It has been happening for centuries and it is better to be healthy about it.
Jenah,
May I ask you a question? Why not kill these babies who are born to “unfit teenage mothers” once they’re born? Based on your logic, wouldn’t that be better for everyone, especially if we don’t want to bring religion into the picture?
Please let me know your response to this. Also, all of the people I know who are involved in pro-life work are involved in ministry to the mother, the father, and the baby, and if the mother is not able to care for a child, they help provide adoption referrals as well. Plus, many of those in pro-life work seek to help hurting people get whole in every way; they don’t just stand on a street corner and yell at people. They help people.
actually, only .3 % of abortions are because of rape. im doing a report on it for school, (im pro-life) and im 13. i will NEVER get an abortion. have you never heard of adoption?
hm. because giving the people who want kids and cant have them is just horrible, right?
letting them live as oppossed to killing them for doing nothing worng is just wrong.
because it doesn’t matter if you’re pro-life or pro-chioce. either way, the baby dies. argue with that.
ok, im getting way too into this.
I’m also doing a school report on Abortions/Pro-Life, just like anonymous. From arguments/speculations I have heard in the past, I’d like to say “A life, is a life, is a life” no matter how the dice roll, all you’ll ever end up with is a murder. According to your info that means 46 billion murders/murderers are only counted up and not taken innto account for. I’m also Pro-life, I have a paper to write and as well as I should be I feel that if people will take the time to stop and read what others have said before them then they’d probably take some of their time to educate the future. Ever think of what would have happened if you were aborted. Well firstly, you wouldn’t be here reading this small comment (yeah right its pretty big) I have taken time to write/type. So if you think abortion is your last hope, just know that it is not. Many, many people are alive and well today because they were not aborted. So, in conclusion if anyone would like to say anything negative about what I’ve said then fire away, see what I care.
><>
thanks for your time, God bless!!!
well in my opinon i think abortio should be illegal becase y do people go to jail for murdering so y shouldnt all th emoms who aborted go to jail doesnt make sense!!!!:(
Hi, i’m also doing a school project and im in 8th grade.
First, imagine the world with 46 million more people produced each year. Where would they live? What food would they eat? The earth is over populated as it is, what would we do with 46 million people. The fetuses that have been aborted would have been unhappy, uncared for and under appreciated. The women who choose to have abortions don’t want to kill a child. They want to save a child from a life of potential misery. I won’t argue with people who are pro-life because it is truly a personal decision to follow a religion or set of beliefs. However, similarly, the highly emotional choice of a mother to abort a child is also personal. The church has no right to force their beliefs on other people just because someone wrote it in the bible. ever heard of SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE????
A different opinion,
I’m so glad you came to our website, and for an 8th grader, it’s great to see that you want to ask some serious questions. I’d like to ask you some questions, OK?
1) Who told you that the earth is overpopulated? I understand that the earth can easily sustain many more millions of people without the slightest problem, so please let me know your sources for this. Also, America is hardly overpopulated — we have more than enough resources for many more people — and we are talking about 46 million more Americans.
2) Do you think that the loss of 46 million people here in America could have a bad effect. With so few children born, who will care for the older generation? Who will care for you when you get older?
3) If a baby is a little human life, does anyone have the right to kill it? If it is wrong to kill an unwanted baby right after it is born, why is it wrong to kill the baby before it is born? Is this just a religious matter, or is a matter of protecting innocent life?
4) Can you please tell me where our Constitution talks about the separation of church and state? And can you also tell me what the phrase means?
Answering these questions will help you write a much better paper. Perhaps your teacher would like to get involved in the discussion too!
Thanks again for coming to our website.
You know it’s so unreal that the statistics show that 98% of abortions are because of personal choice, because some idot had sex and now they don’t want to face the consequences. Why punish an innocent child who can’t even defend it’s self? Think about this what if the child you killed would have grown up to be the doctor who would have found the cure for cancer, what would you have done if you had known that? Ask your self these questions people, don’t just kill an innocent HUMAN BEING because you made the wrong decision. I would never think about having an abortion even though I am only 16. There is a such thing as an adoption, why not give the people who can’t have children a chance to have what they have always wanted. Some people say that they have an abortion because of their religion but God would never want to have a child that could be his killed or murdered for that matter. Where in the Bible does it say to kill a child that is unwanted? Some people might say well it’s not a child yet it’s still developing, but they are very wrong. I believe that once conception takes place there is a child there and it has started to develop. To all you out there who are thinking about abortion, please think before you actually act, give someone else a chance to have their dream.
Thank You, Lisa L.
I think it is interesting that a woman cannot choose to take her own life. She would be put in a psychiatric hospital if she is found attempting suicide, yet she can choose to end the life of her child. And if that child is born, and she takes its life, she can be imprisoned for life. Can anyone explain the logic in all of that? All that changes from pregnancy to birth is the location of the baby. Nothing else really changes. The baby sucks its thumb at 6 weeks old in the uterus!!! It feels pain and even tries to cry as evidenced by ultrasounds done while abortions are performed. Whether all these murdered babies would have been a boon to our economy or not is not the issue. Are we any more valuable than these “unwanted” children?
Hi, thanks so much for your response. I would love to answer the questions you have asked.
1) FACT: the world is overpopulated. This may not be a problem to the privileged people in America. But this world is not only about us. the people in other counties are suffering from overpopulation and are dying because there isn’t enough pure water to go around. It is a fact that our natural resources are running out. we are trampling all over the earth’s surface and unless we build land over the oceans, some day soon, there wont be enough earth to sustain the human race. These facts are from numerous credible sources.
2) of course the prevention of 46 million lives is terrible. It is awful to take the life of a baby not born. I’m not saying that it isn’t. However, in my opinion, to willingly put the health and happiness of a woman who either had made a mistake by having sex or has been unwillingly impregnated is much, much worse. I just believe that a woman who has been impregnated has the full right to decide the fate of something that she is sacrificing her health and happiness for. It is important to remember that the fetus would die without the mother to support it. and is therefor completely dependent on the mother.
3) The clump of cells inside of a mother’s womb is not a baby. It is a living organism that could potentially turn into a baby. Killing a baby outside of the womb is wrong only because the baby is capable of living without being attached to another human body. To me, this is what defines the beginning of human life.
4) As you well know, the separation of church and state means that the government in American is not allowed to force laws upon the citizens because of a government official’s religious views. This is mentioned briefly in article 6 of the constitution. The pilgrims originally came here for religious freedom and even after almost 370 years,we haven’t reached that point. However, this is not 1776. The year is 2010 and America is based on the rights of the citizens and not the rights of the government or the church. We have a right to choose our beliefs even if you think we are wrong. I will not judge you for your words if you will not judge me for mine. I hold the church and you, Dr. Michael Brown in deep respect however, on this point i must disagree with you.
Thanks so much,
- A different opinion
what i dont get is why people keep saying “you’re disobeying god, you should go to jail”. If we’re disobeying god, why do u care? it’s our necks. And isn’t forever burning in hell a lot more effective than life in prison? I believe that life is real and god aint.. And hey, if i go to hell, why would you care?
Tommy, People say your disobeying God because you are. God specifically stated in the ten commandments ” Thou shalt not KILL”. Meaning that no one should kill anyone or anything. A baby is a person and by those having abortions they are killing them. I care because God cares. God loves you even though you don’t think He is real. He knows whats going to happen in your life. The reason you are here today is because He died for your sins and made you whole again. Life in prison isn’t anything like HELL so don’t compare them those who go to prision are the lucky ones. You may believe that life is real and God ain’t but the truth is they both are. Not one of them is not real. I care becuase God loves you and wants to keep you from HELL. He wants you to be with Him in heaven when you die, not in HELL with satan.
Thanks again, Lisa
wait, if you think the world is overpopulated, try driving across Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Iowa, Minnesota, Texas, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, and Oregon.
adifferentopinion- hey, we’re the same age! btw, i barely scraped an A on my project. how about yours? but if its not a baby, you’re not pregnant, and it stops a beating heart. so…isn’t it also scientifically proven that stoping a beating heart is dying?
A different opinion,
Thanks for responding!
1) Could you please cite some of these alleged credible sources that prove that the world is presently overpopulated? As a professor, I always like to evaluate the evidence firsthand. Also, please explain how, with current birth rates in many countries in Europe and even Asia, the human population can sustain itself.
2) As Lisa stated, the vast majority of abortions have nothing to do with rape or incest but rather with someone not wanting to deal with their sexual choice. So, you kill the baby in the womb because you chose to have sex without consequences?
3) A clump of cells? Do you really mean that? Please check out the pictures and videos on this link and then tell me if that remains your position. http://www.abortionno.org/
4) Thanks for your respectful views and tone, but please understand that, first, the concept of separation of church and state is not found in the constitution and it has been terribly abused the last fifty years; second, I stand against abortion because it is unjust, destructive, and murderous, just as I would stand against slavery or rape or segregation or murder. All of them are wrong. For more on church and state, check out http://www.wallbuilders.com/
Please watch the material on the link I provided and see if you really want to advocate abortion, and then get back to me with some definitive, scholarly sources. Thanks again for interacting!

Just in case you are unable to search through the site about the issue on the separation of church and state, heres the link that wil directly go to the article:

adifferentopinion,
You mentioned:
“the baby is capable of living without being attached to another human body. To me, this is what defines the beginning of human life.”
Do you support late term abortion? Meaning as long as the baby is in the womb at anytime, even a day before the due date to be born, that baby is not considered human being.
While the baby is 9 months old in the mothers womb, you would be ok if the doctor used their tools to snap the neck of the unborn? That to you would not be considered taking away the life of the innocent?
Thanks so much for all of your questions. You’ve given me a ton of things to think about. How about when i finish my persuasive arguement, i’ll post it here?
thanks again :)
i hear a lot of people saying koh the world is already overpopulated etc, but have anyone heard or the cycle of life, we all live to die. yeah if abortion didnt exist there would be a lot more people born. but u also have to take into consideration that a lot of people die everyday for various reasons like natural death, natural disasters, aids, cancer, murder etc. who are we to play god. the world will even itself out on its on we dont need abortionist going aroung killing an innocent person just because they just have been paid to. isnt that like hiring a hitman for an innocent baby. thats nasty. some of yall dnt have any morals or a heart at all.i
oh yeah and i also keep reading these comments about how woman should have a choice so what if they had sex without a condom they should still be able to kill their baby. how about other people who make careless choices, do you feel sympathy for them such as needle sharers who contract aids because they wanted to go get high and not think to be careful, or people who go get pissy drunk and still decide to do drive and kill innocent family members or how about the drug dealers etc who feel that other drug dealers are in their way and decide to shoot up neighborhoods and hit innocent people i guess you have ways of justifying that too, right, weirdos
Babies are supposed to be able to trust their mothers to feed them, keep them healthy, and keep them safe. Abortion is murder!! If the baby has a heart beat, it’s alive you can’t say its not. If a baby isn’t alive in the mother’s womb then we are all dead. A baby has a heart beat inside the womb and we have one outside. If someones heart is not beating they are considered dead., but the baby has a heart beat, so what’s does that mean??? IT”S ALIVE!! It’s a human being!! Even if the mother couldn’t take care of the baby she could have put it up for adoption. They are several women who would love to be able to have a child but can’t. We don’t hate the people we hate the sin.
I am doing a controversial essay for my english class in college and I choose this topic because it really makes me mad. And the statistics that were on this website really helped back up my reason for being against it. (98% unwanted or inconvienent)!! Those women need to have their uterus taken out so they can never have children!

YOUR KILLING AN INNOCENT LIFE!
dear Kendra,
do you really think people like that should be parents?
also. in my opinion god is an excuse for people to blame someone else for all the irresponsible things we do.
also i know for a fact that 43% of women get an abortion by the time that they’re 45. be careful what you say about people who get abortions. people you know (maybe even your mother) have gotten abortions.
Great info. Thank you!
It is ridiculous for anyone to support abortion. Supporitng abortion is one of the most hypocritcal things a person can do. For example say “Bob” comes on this site and posts, “Pro-Choice”, how can he say that? What if his mother had chosen not to have him? Then “Bob” would not be alive and able to post such a comment. By saying “Pro-Choice” and living does that mean “Bob” would be okay if he went back in time and his mother decided not to have him? Probably not. Put yourself in “Bob”’s position. What if your mother decided not to have you, would you be ok with that? If you aren’t ok with that how can you be “Pro-Choice” and not a hypocrite? Think about that before you post a comment. In otherwords if you chose “Pro-Choice” you don’t care whether you are living or dead.
Who will take care of all these unwanted babies if they had been born?
People who can’t have babies would love to have one but we shouldn’t even have to discuss this! teenagers should wait to have a baby or even have sex until they are married. when someone has an abortion they are being selfish they aren’t thinking about the life that is inside their womb they are only thinking about themselves!!!! they start thinking about others when they don’t have sex and don’t have to have an abortion!! If someone gets pregnant the only way they are being responsible is to take responsibility for what they done and keep the baby and take care of it themselves or give it up for adoption. Teenagers should also remember…They don’t know everything!!

Thanks, Kelsey!
And Jodi, do you know how long the lists are of people waiting to adopt babies? There are more than enough people who would gladly adopt a child rather than let the mother and doctor kill it in the womb.
And do you think it’s right to kill an unwanted child once it’s born? Then why kill it in the womb?
This great information and should be a wake up call to the citizens of the United States. Abortion is homocide - period. I know that I read those statistics and learned that only .3% of abortions are due to rape/incest. There is NO excuse for aborting your unborn child. I don’t care of it is an inconvenience to you at this point on your life, whether you are 17 or 47, the point is - you chose to concieve.
