WABC news excerpts.

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

The rate for minorities is even higher. Both sides say the high abortion percentage is a crisis.

... For 2009:

non-Hispanic Black's have a 59.8% abortion rate.
Hispanics have a 41.3% abortion rate.
Asians have a 22.7% abortion rate.
And non-Hispanic Whites have a 20.4% abortion rate.

The fact that 41% of all pregnancies in New York City end in abortion is not a secret and it's not anything new.
In fact, things have been getting better over the past decade.

Back in 1998, 12 years ago, the number was actually 46%.

Of course, this would not be counting I would be rather certain, abortions caused by so-called contraception pills.

Almost half the population killed by abortion.

The physical killing can only reflect the spiritual death of so many.

Lord have mercy.  cross prayer

I was reading a book on rabbits the other day , and it said how the mother rabbit after giving birth, stays close to her babies and when she sees a predator come close , runs past it in another direction to divert it's attention from the babies.  The predator runs after mother bunny and the babies are safe.  Here an animal will play with its life to protect her young ones.  Food for thought. Sigh. :'(  Look at us humans.

That's a poignant thought. Yes, a number of mammals do lead predators away from their babies.
 Jesus, have Mercy on us!

Wasn't Russia the first country to legalize abortion??
