What are the Demographics of Abortion?

The rates of Abortion seem to be declining so why are the Lefitsts enraged?

We are going to concentrate on just this one paragraph from this article from MSN regarding the Obama-Biden Administration and their panic over the potential of losing their Right to Kill Babies in the Womb aka Abortion.

Biden officials spent much of Tuesday panicked as they realized how few tools they had at their disposal, according to one outside adviser briefed on several meetings. Now officials are fervently debating a number of executive and regulatory actions the administration could take to make it easier for women in red states — particularly poor women — to access abortion care, according to three outside advisers.

OMG has anyone noticed that suddenly Women exist and Gender Neutrality is out the Window and Men and Women exist as separate Genders. An incredible development given recent blows taken by Netflix in their losing bet on Wokeism.

The Obama-Biden Administration claims to suddenly be interested in protecting the Rights of Women and Yes confirming it is Women with Vaginas that give Birth, not Men with Penises. Hope that is clear now. Moving along.

Hope you still paying attention. Focus.

We decided to fact check this claim about poor women and by inference and implication that would be poor African American Women as being the main beneficiaries of Abortion Clinics and Laws.

What are the Demographics of Abortion?

Clearly Black or African American Women are the highest single Demographic group and as the study suggests it is due to the traditional lack of access to reproductive healthcare, but the other big biggest factor is finances. Abortion is a Choice. And Choices are made to Abort due to lack of financial resources aka being poor.

The original claim stands for the most part.

Abortion is a common medical procedure and an important component of public health.1,2 In 2014, 926 190 abortions were performed in the United States; the abortion rate was 14.6 abortions per 1000 women aged 15 to 44 years, meaning that in that year 1.5% of women of reproductive age had an abortion.3 In 2008, it was estimated that 30% of women aged 15 to 44 years would have an abortion by age 45 years if the prevailing rate continued,4 and this figure is often used to demonstrate the commonality of abortion.2,5 However, the abortion rate has declined substantially since that time—14% between 2011 and 2014 alone3—and it is likely that the estimate of the lifetime incidence of abortion has also declined.

The good news is that rates overall are declining.

In addition to fewer women having abortions, the characteristics of the women who obtained them has changed. In 2014, 49% of abortion patients had family incomes below 100% of the federal poverty level, a significant increase from 42% in 2008.6 Adolescents accounted for a significantly smaller share of abortion patients: 12% in 2014 compared with 18% in 2008. Low-income and younger women have traditionally been at increased risk for unintended pregnancy and, in turn, abortion. Changes in the prevalence of abortion for these and other groups, as measured by the abortion rate, could inform strategies to reduce disparities in access to family planning services and other types of reproductive health care.

But this issue is too complex to just be one or two dimensional. It does not evoke such passions without reasons. We explore the much Darker Side of this Right.
