Abortion Statistics?

Normally I'm really good about not commenting on the stupid things people post on FB but today I fail. A family member posted a late term  abortion picture (that I'm doubting is real), said all abortion is horrible and wrong, and to re-post it for awareness. I posted that the picture is offensive and re-posting it on FB does nothing to end abortion. Now we are in a debate. I know I should just let it go but I can't.

Does anyone have any links  on abortion statistics? I remember reading some that said that most of the women who have abortions are already mothers but now I can't find the link. I'm also looking for the number of married women who have abortions. This family member is a religious nut ( different that just being religious) who is basicly insisting that the majority of abortions are late term and the women are teenage sluts who would do things differently if they see this magic FB post.

Re: Abortion Statistics?

  • Guttmacher studies are where you want to look.  Off the top of my head, yes, the majority of those who get an abortion already have a child.  The vast vast majority are not late-term abortions.  I want to say only 1% are truly late term, but don't quote me on that.

  • Here's a link to some stats on the site Sibil was talking about. Tons of information over there.

    ETA I find it is best for my overall mental health to not engage people when they post inflammatory things like that. They really don't care what you have to say.

    Logically I know this but I've read too many things about the WOW today to be able to let it go right now.
