A woman in Florida was expecting twins. But one of the babies appeared in prenatal tests to have Down syndrome. That's a genetic disorder that affects about one in 800 babies and that can cause heart, hearing and vision problems -- though many with Down syndrome live long and productive lives. Sadly, the woman decided to abort the baby who appeared to have the disorder and keep the other baby.

The decision to abort a "defective" baby was bad enough, but the abortionist aborted the "wrong" baby in the womb! He has since lost his medical license and reportedly became suicidal after the mistake came to light. Then, as if the situation were not bad enough, the baby with Down syndrome was aborted, too.

That makes it doubly tragic.

An unborn baby's life is not valuable only because it is fortunate enough to enjoy perfect health or to lack "defects." As an innocent, defenseless human being, it deserves society's utmost protection. It does not deserve to be disposed of through abortion.

Non-Hispanic white women accounted for 36% of abortions, non-Hispanic black womenfor 30%, Hispanic women for 25% and non-Hispanic women of other races for 9%. While no group made up the majority of abortion patients, black and Hispanic women were

overrepresented.

I surmise the average age of the guys here is likely 40-45.That being said,when most of here were born baby killing was illegal.

So,how many of you here would've been sucked out of your mom's womb?

hmm ?

Or, Who here has a child they considered killing before birth,but now cherish that child?

wheel,

I was once a fetus...

for the sake of discussion, i will assume your figures are correct.

then ipso facto white woman and non-hispanic black women are the bulk of those getting abortion,

or to put it another way white woman and hispanic woman are the bulk of woman getting abortions.

and since non-Hispanic women of other races for 9%, we shouldn't have to deal with them.

clearly race is on the mind of whoever wrote that completely illogical conclusion, so the question i would ask is, why did you post that totally illogical paragraph?

and who are Rachel K. Jones, Lawrence B. Finer and Susheela Singh, and what is the guttmacher institute.

The Guttmacher Institute is a non-profit organization which works to advance reproductive health including abortion rights as defined by the World Health Organization. The institute operates in the United States and globally "through an interrelated program of social science research, policy analysis and public education."[1][2] According to their mission statement, this program aims to "generate new ideas, encourage enlightened public debate, promote sound policy and program development and, ultimately, inform individual decision making."[1]

The Guttmacher Institute in 1968 was founded as the "Center for Family Planning Program Development", a semi-autonomous division of The Planned Parenthood Federation of America. The Center was renamed in memory of Alan Frank Guttmacher, an Ob/Gyn and former president of Planned Parenthood, and the Guttmacher Institute became an independent, not-for-profit corporation in 1977.[3] Guttmacher's four decades of experience claims to demonstrate that scientific evidence — when reliably collected and analyzed, compellingly presented and systematically disseminated — can make a difference in policies, programs, and medical practice.
