Last month, the NYC Health Department issued statistics revealing that 41% of all pregnancies were aborted in 2009. The national average of 23% pales in comparison to that of the New York City area.

By race, among the highest rates in the NYC area, 46.7% of non-Hispanic Black’s pregnancies were aborted, followed by 32.5% of Hispanics and 11.3% of non-Hispanic Whites.

By age, women from 20-24 represented the largest age group having abortions in 2009 at 29% of all induced terminations (abortions).

Broken down geographically by location, the Borough having the highest percentage of abortions was the Bronx at 48%.

In the report, Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley contrasts current challenges of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene over its 150-year history by referencing other health epidemics of Yellow Fever, Cholera, AIDS, Tuberculosis, smoking/cancer, obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

Very sad for sure...

Margaret Sanger would be proud....

Here's the source. Good luck finding those statistics listed in the article. It is one hell of an extraction, but maybe a PHD statistician pulled out those #'s.

I am not saying they are wrong.

this isn't "because they are black, etc...." statement either. These are majority young adults with no stable job or in a stable relationship. They would fetch welfare and live off the state, USA and the rest of us taxpayers.

or,,

maybe they could succeed in life if give the chance to live, instead of being murdered by a Govt funded slaughter house..

were to foreign-born women. The distribution among

New York City boroughs was 69.3% in Queens,

49.5% in the Bronx, 48.7% in Brooklyn, 43.5% in

Manhattan, and 35.2% in Staten Island.

Community districts in the highest quintile of births

to foreign-born women were Elmhurst, Corona at

88.2%, followed by Jackson Heights at 83.8%,

Flushing at 82.7%, Sunset Park at 78.2%, Sunnyside,

Woodside at 77.5%, Bensonhurst at 72.6%,

Woodhaven at 70.3%, Fresh Meadows, Briarwood

at 70.1%, Rego Park, Forest Hills at 69.6%, and

Howard Beach and Coney Island at 64.2%.

Five community districts had less than 30% of

their births to foreign-born women: Williamsburg,

Greenpoint at 18.5%, Tottenville at 18.8%, Park

Slope at 25.0%, Bedford Stuyvesant at 28.2%, and

Fort Greene, Brooklyn Heights at 29.8%.

See Table 4.7 on page 75 for additional rate

Maybe they were muslims?

google it..

It's not from some whacked out source.It's on ABC,CBS,.

It's an Associated Press article..

Wheel go look at your own link. He did go to the article and went further.... he went to the source PDF. I did too.

I didn't do any real number crunching on it (which is part of what I do for a living...specificially with health care data) but a quick look shows some staggering numbers. Sad.

There are flaws in the data which are identified in the source document. One of which is resource and reporting issues.... but even so thats sad.

The numbers are over stated a bit but even if they had a 20% error rate and you adjusted to that, its staggering no matter what your politics.

EDIT - Oops. Gringo looked them up. Jade is just a poo head.
