Why is the abortion rate up amongst the poor, but down everywhere else? | LifeSiteNews.com: Even though the abortion rate has declined for most demographic groups, the largest decline has taken place among African-American women. The abortion rate for minors also continued to fall dramatically, declining by 22 percent between 2000 and 2008. The abortion rate among married women is dramatically less than the abortion rate for women who either cohabit or have never been married. Finally, women with no religious affiliation have a higher abortion rate than those who identify with some religion.
The one finding that has received considerable media attention is that between 2000 and 2008, the abortion rate increased substantially among women below the poverty line. Could the increase in federal funds to Planned Parenthood be responsible?
