39% of Pregnancies in NYC End in Abortion?!

I really, really, really hope this is a case of a statistic taken out of context and misunderstood. Because the idea that almost 40 out of every 100 fetuses in NYC are aborted is just monstrous. Whether you're Pro-Choice or Pro-Life, can we all agree that abortion should be a last resort and not commonplace?!

In 2009, there were 225,667 pregnancies in the City with 126,774 resulting in live births and 87,273 resulting in abortions. In addition to those abortion numbers, there were 11,620 spontaneous terminations.
Forty-six percent of all births in the Bronx result in abortions—the highest among the five boroughs, according to the report.
Blacks had the highest number of abortions with 40,798 with Hispanics having the second highest at 28,364, according to the report.

Anti-abortion Protester Killed in Michigan

There are many who say that the abortion debate is only an emotional issue for the anti-abortion forces. But clearly, it is an emotionally-charged issue for both sides, with extremists on either end willing to cross the line. Today, an anti-abortion activist appears to have been murdered for his views and a protest he was mounting outside a local high school. To the credit of everyone in the area, witnessed took the license plate of the killer's car and quickly called the police.

Here is hoping both sides condemn this action and the police can quickly make the case against the killer.
