Shouldn't EVERYONE control the produce of their own selves, whether it's a child or data?
Yeah. It's called "Don't open your legs."
MOST abortions in this country are NOT for cases of rape or incest. And if "convenience" is "health," which is clearly the liberal position, well, then.
Funny though, that the abortion clinics are generally in black neighborhoods.
Key finding
Fewer than one in 10 abortion clinics are located in predominantly African-American neighborhoods, or those in which the majority of residents are black.
Using the results of its most recent census of all known abortion providers in the United States, Guttmacher examined the racial and ethnic makeup of neighborhoods in which abortion clinics were located in 2008, the most recent year for which these data are available. (Abortion clinics are defined as providers of 400 or more abortions annually.) Neighborhood characteristics are based on information for each U.S. zip code from the 2000 decennial population census.
Among abortion clinics in 2008:
• 63% were located in neighborhoods where one-half or more of the residents were non-Hispanic white;
• 12% were located in neighborhoods where one-half or more of the residents were Hispanic;
• 9% were located in neighborhoods where one-half or more of the residents were black;
• 1% were located in neighborhoods where one-half or more of the residents were “non-Hispanic other”; and
• 15% were located in neighborhoods where no single racial or ethnic group accounted for one-half or more of residents.
These statistics definitively refute the assertion that most abortion clinics are located in predominantly African-American neighborhoods.
