How can people say that abortion is voluntary for people who are in poverty and are financially cornered, especially when minorities are more likely to have abortions than white people in America? How can you justify the racial disparity here? Are minorities intrinsically different in some way that makes them more inclined to have abortions? Of course not. So if the decision to have the procedure was really voluntary and not undully influenced, then shouldn’t the abortion statistics be the same for all races in the country?
I’m pro-choice, but you’re wrong. Actually it isn’t the minorities that have the most abortions. It’s the white prom queen types that do. Check the stats http://www.abortiontv.com/Misc/AbortionStatistics.htm
60.5% White
34.7% Black
4.8% Other
And the No. 1 reason why "Wants to postpone childbearing". That sounds like a choice to me.
BUT GOD SAID NO! I’M TWO YEARS OLD!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY! PRAYER WORKS!

GOD IS STILL IN THE MIRACLE BUSINESS!

I asked a question about why there were more abortions in red states than blue states. Said my stats were partisan, so I asked my next question, "Is the CDC partisan" I had explained my previous question. Then I got called out by some right wing guy that asked me that why the CDC keeps track of abortion when its not a disease. I assume that he assumed that I was making it all up.
If you want to see the stats or the source you can refer to my original question.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApZ9ARUtteP25ES2nDoD73Lty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090602111826AAazvf6
Many people told me that they imply did not believe me. I want to know if they have a reason to not believe Stats from the CDC, or if they merely choose not to believe anything that does not conveniently fit their paradigm.
I’m not right wing guy. Far, far from it. I honestly didn’t know that the CDC keeps abortion stats. Sorry about that. It was no slight to you whatsoever. I am not a right wing guy. Look at all of my previous answers and that should confirm it for you. Can you provide a link to the CDC statistics? I honestly didn;t know.
Ah, the thumbs down…whatever.
The abortion statistics will turn your stomach. The largest group of women killing their kids are CHRISTIANS 37.4% of all abortions are Protestants another 31.1% are Catholic (some of which are Christians) Jewish 1.3% , 18% are from women who identify themselves as BORN-AGAIN!!!
The smallest group (after Jewish) are atheists…23.7%…what kind of message are we sending to the unbelieving world?
If you are a Christian who has had an abortion hear me…GOD LOVES YOU. There is forgiveness in Jesus Christ. You don’t have to live with the guilt and shame…just remember this REPENT (turn 180 degrees and don’t do it again), REMEMBER where you came from.. See Revelation 2
42 million children are murdered in the world each year…about 1.37 in the US. 3700 babies killed every day here in the US and 115,000 per day globally.
Abortion in the United States has been legal since the 1973 Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision, but the effective availability of abortion varies significantly from state to state. Abortion is one of the most contested issues in U.S. society, law and politics.
As Christians we have a duty…we need to participate in right to life marches, vote for pro-life politicians. Listen, I am a REPUBLICAN…I am proud of the value system they hold. However, if I REPUBLICAN was PRO-DEATH and the DEMOCRAT candidate was PRO-LIFE…I would vote AGAINST the republican. Also, we can provide counseling to pregnant women who are considering an abortion…and counseling to women who have had an abortion.
I have extremely strong convictions when it comes to the life of children. Even in the case of rape and incest…NO ABORTION. The child DOES NOT deserve the death penalty…the FATHER DOES. In cases of the life of the mother or child…prayerful decisions need to be made.

In proportion are women 50% pro-choice and pro-life? If so can someone give me the source. I would appreciate it if it was an unbiased source.
Thanks
According to a Gallup Poll in January, 2001 – People who considered themselves to be pro-life rose from 33% to 43% in the past 5 years, and people who considered themselves to be pro-choice declined from 56% to 48%
Gallup is very unbiased
The real story of racial disparity in casualty rates: the disproportionate numbers of black casualties in the war on the unborn. While Sharpton and the other Democratic presidential hopefuls celebrated the 30th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade at NARAL’s gala, the black community continued to be decimated by abortion rates that are nearly three times the rate of whites.
The most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control indicate that while 56 percent of all women who obtained legal abortions were white, the abortion rate (the number of abortions per 1,000 women aged 15-44 per year) for black women was 2.9 times that of white women. For every thousand black women, 32 have abortions, as compared with 11 for every thousand white women. Likewise with numbers of abortions per 1,000 births: The abortions/births ratio for white women was 184 abortions per 1,000 live births; for black women, it was 543 abortions per 1,000 births. This means that abortion ratios for black women were 2.8 times greater than those for white women. Sadly, black women were also more likely to obtain riskier abortions late in their pregnancies, while white women were significantly more likely than black women to obtain abortions before 16 weeks.
While these data most likely reflect inequality in access to health care, data also indicate that the racial disparities in abortion rates have increased steadily since 1989. In some localities, including Mississippi, Louisiana, Maryland, and Georgia, more than half of all abortions are performed on black women. Black women in New York City and in the entire state of New Jersey receive more than 47 percent of all abortions performed there.
Comparisons by race cannot be made in California, because the state — unlike any other state — refuses to comply with requirements to report statistics on abortion. California’s reporting requirement was enacted in 1967 as part of a larger abortion law called the Therapeutic Abortion Act. Yet even with the threat of losing federal funds, California has consistently refused to report its abortion data. Michael Quinn, the chief of California’s office for health information, was recently quoted in a Catholic newspaper account as saying that “California does not actively collect abortion statistics because they are highly sensitive and highly political.”
Abortion data — like all casualty data — are indeed sensitive. They reveal life-or-death decisions for women and unborn children and for this very reason should be disseminated widely. California needs to be encouraged to provide data on abortion. For policymakers to address the real casualties among blacks would take courage — far beyond the grandstanding on the military draft by Sharpton, Conyers, and Rangel. They might begin by listening to the poignant lyrics of hip-hop artist Nas in his recent mega-hit, “One Mic.” Nas knows that his community has been devastated by abortion and in a courageous plea, the rapper simply asks women to stop abortion because “we need more warriors here.”

Abortion in the United Kingdom has been legal in England, Scotland and Wales since the Abortion Act passed in 1967.
