what were the illegal abortion rates from 1973-1997?
455773
The short answer is that we don't know.  The number of illegal abortions took a nosedive after Roe v Wade, of course, but there is no tracking mechanism for illegal abortions since there is no reporting mechanism.

I heard 40 years ago that we were going to be overcome slowly by muslims. I don't remember where I heard it. But I know it was radical muslims not the loving ones. Abortion is wrong

Overpopulation is the elephant in the living room that no one's talking about.  It's one of the biggest global threats.  I think people avoid the subject because it involves birth control education, including abortion.  \n\nThe Bush administration has instituted the Global Gag Rule, which restricts foreign non-governmental organizations that receive money from the USAID's family planning program from using their OWN non-U.S. money to\n-provide safe abortion services\n-impart any information about abortion\n-engage in public information services about abortion\n\nBush says this is because he doesn't want US money paying for overseas abortions.  But Federal law has barred the use of US fund for abortions since 1973.\n\nHere's a good site with lots of info:\nhttp://www.populationconnection.org/

FYI - the information given to you by facts74 is also biased. \n\nAll her websites are PRO-LIFE, which means none of them will give you healthy information about abortions if you are going to choose that path.

A recent patient survey indicated that 70 percent of the women who gave birth at Parkland in the first three months of 2006 were illegal immigrants.' Crikey, that's 11,200 anchor babies born every year just in Dallas. According to the article, the hospital spent $70.7 million delivering 15,938 babies in 2004 but managed to end up with almost $8 million dollars in surplus funding. Medicaid kicked in $34.5 million, Dallas County taxpayers kicked in $31.3 million and the feds tossed in another $9.5 million\nThat does not make me happy at all.And its not just in Texas its every where.\n\nIR this nurse tells a different story.........\nhttp://www.rense.com/general54/anchorbabiesborn.htm\nMy commute to work exceeds fifty miles but it gives me time to reflect. It is 1987, and I am an obstetrical nurse working in the crowded San Fernando Valley of California. Tonight I drive to my job in "Labor and Delivery," knowing the scenario before I arrive. Eight other nurses will battle through the night in this very busy obstetrical unit. Our patients are 99 percent pregnant illegal alien women who have broken United States immigration law to birth an American citizen child. \n  This will be their families, entry ticket into the United States. For them, no pesky visa applications and no waiting in line for several years like so many millions that enter this country through the front door. Pregnant Third World women have discovered that the only thing they have to do is cross the U.S.--Mexico border.\nAnd this was in 1987 nothings changed has it?

No I don't, and you missed one; abortions.  I can't figure out why they are so opposed to abortion.  It has been their friend for over 30 years, ridding the USA of over 45 million potential libs and socialists.  About 25 million of these "cradle to grave" dependence who think they are entitled to free stuff would be of voting age today.  The dems would not have to send out those buses in their "get out ta' vote" campaigns if these mal-contents were allow to be born.  I think the dems aught to demand that aborted fetuses be given social security numbers so they can send in absentee votes....NOT !!!

16,000 per year divided by 365.  It's much more violent than most countries.\n\nYeah, it would include abortions, IF fetuses are counted in the Census figures!

Shouldn't your question be "How many unwanted pregnancies could not be terminated because of right wing policies?"  Such as cutting birth control planning budgets, screaming that we are giving teens condoms and the morning after pill so we need to do away, bombing clinics that provide all types of birth control and may offer clinical abortions.  Welfare was reformed, under the Clinton admin, by the way, you have to work, assistance to needy children is a thing of the past.  Mom has to go work for minimum, struggle to pay day care and any other costs.  Welfare used to be for single parents with children, so that children could have the benefit of a parent for the first four years of life and then mom had to go to work. But that has not been the case for well over a decade.  You have to be severely disabled to receive any cash assistance.  By the way, do you have any idea on how expensive it is to be poor?

49% are unintended pregnancies.  Of those, about half end in abortion.

omg! Thank you for showing that link. Abortion is so wrong. It's criminal.\n\nAnswer to garass-- babies that are born can't take care of themselves either is that a form of parasite, too?

more sore loser crying from the right.trying to equate the legal act of abortion with the war in Iraq that was started on a lie is ridiculous.your own self righteousness is your undoing.to put this in your terms,its o.k. to kill men, women and children for oil and the financial advancement of your friends at haliburton.But aborting a non-being by legal means in order to not fill the orphanages with unwanted children that the likes of you would never adopt is wrong.brilliant.
