Survey Shows Unwanted Births Up
Topic: Current Events 7:43 pm EST, Dec 19, 2005

More American women are having babies they didn't want, a survey indicates, but federal researchers say they don't know if that means attitudes about abortion are changing.

This is something that people should look at. There are a couple of very interesting numbers that tell me something is very, very wrong. In 1995 it notes 26% of conceptions ended in abortion, and 9% of births were unwanted. In 2002, 24% of conceptions went via abortion, but 14% of births were unwanted.

The question is, does this show a shift in opinion, or exactly what? To answer that, I'd also want to see the general birth rate numbers and those aren't here. I would also want to see the numbers regionaly, or on a state by state basis, as well as by age groups, because that would also say a great deal.

In and of itself, the article is as useful as tits on a bull, but it points at more data to come which might have some cunclusions with it.
