Canadian abortion statistics greatly underestimated

Let us continue to pray for countries where abortion is legal, the lives of the unborn babies and mothers-to-be of these little beauties that they will not make this grave mistake of killing God's gift to them.

An Ontario study (Project for an Ontario Women’s Health Evidence-Based Report—Power) has just been released which shows the gruesome statistic that for every 100 babies born in Ontario, 37 are aborted. The ratio for teen girls is even more shocking. For every 100 babies born to Ontario teens 15 and over, 152 are aborted. (Nat. Post, March 2, 2011). And as many as 52% of women have had more than one abortion. Continuing the shock, about 20% of teens 15-19 had already had at least one abortion.

These statistics are only for those who have had abortions in a hospital. Abortion clinics were not part of the statistics gathering, although they perform more than half of the provinces abortion. Since teens do not need parental consent for clinic abortions (although they may for a hospital abortion), more teens may go to an abortion clinic.

 

According to a 2010 Angus Reid poll, 89% of Canadians do not even know that Canada has no legal restrictions on abortion. Further, an abortion can be performed at any point during the pregnancy, and taxpayers have to cover almost all the costs.
