There was a big debate before Obamacare was passed over public funding of abortion. New rumors about federal funding of abortions surface regularly. Actually, 14% of abortions in the U.S. are already paid with public funds, in the 17 states that offer abortions to the poor.
There are 1.2 million abortions each year
10% are medical abortions
88% are during the first trimester
80% are for unmarried women
50% are under age 25
47% have had at least one previous abortion
Blacks are 5 times more likely
Hispanics are 3 times more likely
54% used a contraceptive in the month before
The average cost is $413
Birth control costs $300 – $600/ year.
The worse procedures are late-term abortions, when they have to crush the baby’s skull to extricate it from the mother’s womb. That’s murder!
