- Here are some statistics which illustrate the pervasiveness of
- abortion in our society. These statistics come from the
- STATISTICAL ABSTRACT OF THE UNITED STATES, published by the Census
- Bureau. This is an annual publication available in virtually every
- public library. The 1991 edition was used. Data is from tables 102-104.
-
- BTW, the Statistical Abstract obtained this data from the Alan Guttmacher
- Institute.
- ***************************
-
- In 1987, 1,559,000 abortions were performed, up from 1,034,200 in 1975.
-
- The ratio of abortions to live births in recent years
- (with total number of abortions for comparison) is as follows:
-
- 1980 1,553,900 Abortions 428 abortions per 1,000 live births
-

- I'm no mathematician, but these numbers are scary!
-
- Doesn't this point to some serious problems in our society?
-
- Something is very wrong. Wake up America!
-
- How child-friendly is our society?
