Abortion in NYC

When you read an article like this, it just makes you wonder why God hasn't already come down and destroyed this country. We, as a people, sit by idly while the killing innocent babies happens at an alarming rate.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Eye-opening statistics about the rate of abortions in New York City have been released by the Health Department.

It raises questions about the effectiveness of current birth control education.

41% of all New York City pregnancies end in abortion.

The rate for minorities is even higher.

Both sides say the high abortion percentage is a crisis.

"If 41% of New York babies are aborted, with the percentage even higher in the Bronx and among our African-American babies in the world, it is downright chilling," New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan said.

Planned Parenthood is also not happy about the numbers, but pushes education.

"We believe in comprehensive sex education, which by the way does include abstinence, but abstinence by itself has been proven to be ineffective,"

As reader Mike already pointed out when he sent this article, "How can abstinence not be effective? If you don't have sex...there will be no baby!"

Of course this statistic has a lot to do with the break down of the family, (no dad around to keep his kids in line) the sex-saturated society that we all swim in, the messages these kids are all getting on TV, younger maturing girls, and probably a host of other issues.

But it doesn't change the fact that we are killing babies at an alarming rate.
