[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lets look at the statistics.

- In 2013, unmarried women accounted for 85.2% of all abortions (CDC).

- Women in their 20s accounted for the majority of abortions in 2013 and had the highest abortion rates (CDC).

- Adolescents under 15 years obtained .03% of all 2013 abortions; women aged 15–19 years accounted for 11.4% (CDC).

Why do you think this is happening? Why are unmarried women who are presumably not in any condition to raise a child having sex, careless sex?

- The abortion rate of non-metropolitan women is about half that of women who live in metropolitan counties (NAF).

Women in metropolitan areas are generally well off...so rich unmarried young women are having the most abortions...is this not frivolous?

In 2004, the Guttmacher Institute anonymously surveyed 1,209 post-abortive women from nine different abortion clinics across the country. Of the women surveyed, 957 provided a main reason for having an abortion. This table lists each reason and the percentage of respondents who chose it.
&lt;0.5%	Victim of rape
3%	Fetal health problems
4%	Physical health problems
4%	Would interfere with education or career
7%	Not mature enough to raise a child
8%	Don't want to be a single mother
19%	Done having children
23%	Can't afford a baby
25%	Not ready for a child
6%	Other

[b]So...rich young unmarried women are having abortions not because of fetal problems or health issues but because they are &quot;too immature&quot; to raise a child. Wow.[/b]

So...your argument is that young, unmarried women, who by their own admission are not ready to have a child...should have children?[/quote]
