The Truth About Abortion

The following passage is quoted from an article published by the Washington Post on September 23, 2008:

"...the proportion of abortions obtained by women younger than 20 dropped steadily, falling from 33% in 1974 to 17% in 2004. For those younger than 18, it fell from 15% of all abortions in 1974 to 6% in 2004. At the same time, the proportion of abortions obtained by women in their 20s increased from 50% to 57%, and the share done for women age 30 and older rose from 18% to 27%. Although abortion rates have declined among all racial and ethnic groups, large disparities persist, with Hispanic and black women having the procedure at rates three to five times the rate of white women."

Do you know what this means? Read it again. In 2004, only 6% of abortions were for girls under 18. That means that abortion is not about protecting young girls who are sexually abused or who make a mistake and can't take care of the baby. No, the stats tell us that 57% of abortions are for women in their 20s, and 27% are for women age 30 and over. These are not young girls who don't know what else to do and need help. These are mostly adult women who don't want the responsibility. These are mostly women who want to murder their unborn children because children are inconvenient. Here is another quote from the same article, proving what I just wrote:

"The proportion of all abortions performed for women who already had a child increased from 46% in 1974 to 60% in 2004."

Life is precious, people. We need to fight for it.
