Enough! 64 Percent of New Yorkers Say Abortion Rate Is Too High

Enough! 64 Percent of New Yorkers Say a 41 Percent Abortion Rate Is Too High - By Kathryn Jean Lopez - The Corner - National Review Online: Two-thirds of New Yorkers (64%) – including 57% of pro-choice women – think too many abortions are taking place in New York City every year, and more than half of city residents surveyed (51%) would support a 24-hour waiting period before abortion procedures can take place, according to a comprehensive citywide poll released today by the New York City-based Chiaroscuro Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that supports alternatives to abortion.

Almost three-quarters of New Yorkers (74%) think too many African-American pregnancies are being terminated in the city, according to the poll, and 63% of city residents support parental consent before anyone under the age of 18 can have an abortion. A majority (81%) were completely unaware of New York City’s inordinately high abortion ratio.
