New York's abortion rate – 56 percent repeat abortions, 38 percent Government funded

Following the shocking report launched in December of 2010, which revealed that 41% of all New York City pregnancies in 2009 ended in abortion and 60% of the abortions killed black unborn children, the Chiaroscuro Foundation released new information that gives even more depth to the 2010 findings.

The Chiaroscuro Foundation asked the New York City Department of Health to provide the zip codes of mothers getting abortions in NYC. The zip code with the highest ratio is 10018, which is in the Chelsea-Clinton neighborhood of Manhattan, which aborted a ratio of 67%. The next highest rates were in two Jamaica, Queens zipcodes, Manhattan's Greenwich Village, and Central Harlem-Morningside Heights neighborhoods. The five zip codes with the lowest abortion ratios are on the Upper East Side, in Lower Manhattan, on the Upper West Side, and in Borough Park, Brooklyn. The lowest ratio, 6.12%, is in zip code, 10162.

Also at the Chiaroscuro Foundation's request, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene revealed that in 2009 48,627 of the 87,273 abortions in New York City, or 56%, were repeat abortions. 33,401, 38%, were paid for by Medicaid.

To these new reports, Jill Stanek asked, "Whose fault are repeat abortions? The other side blames abstinence ed for 1st timers. If so, then their own abortion and contraception industries are to blame for reruns, correct?"

She continued, "In a poll conducted earlier this year, 64% of likely voters in NYC thought the Big Apple's abortion rate was too high. Wonder what they'll think about the news that they're paying for over 1/3 of them."
