| Here is a link to a link from your source that talks about statistics. You source cannot be totally correct, because there are many variables in the statistics. The Limitations of U.S. Statistics on Abortion And a snippet from the article on why women have abortions: What Are the Reasons Women Have an Abortion? In 1987 and 1995, AGI collected information nationally on the socioeconomic characteristics of approximately 10,000 women obtaining abortions. The results of the 1995 survey show that the women who are most likely to obtain an abortion have an annual inco me of less than $15,000, are enrolled in Medicaid, are aged 18-24, are nonwhite or Hispanic, are separated or never-married, live with a partner outside marriage and have no religious affiliation. Catholics are as likely as the general population of women to terminate a pregnancy, Protestants are less likely to do so, and Evangelical Christians are the least likely to do so. The only comprehensive source of information on the reasons women give for their abortion decision is from a 1987 AGI survey of 1,900 abortion patients nationwide. The survey deliberately oversampled women having abortions beyond 15 weeks of gestation, although the number was still relatively small (420). The vast majority of respondents cited a variety of socioeconomic and family considerations as their main reasons for seeking an abortion. Most of the women reported that more than one factor contributed to their decision, with the average number of reaso ns being four. However, 3% of respondents said that the "most important reason" for their decision was concern for their own health, and another 3% cited concern that the fetus had a health problem. The women having abortions after 15 weeks attributed their lateness in obtaining the procedure to not having realized earlier that they were pregnant (or how long they had been pregnant), having had difficulty in arranging the abortion and (in the case of teenagers) having been afraid to tell their parents they were pregnant.

Yeah, that's what I said. Unmarried women. Many of which would easily qualify for slut I'm sure. Here's a telling bit though...

| No need for now. 12 almost 13 years monogamy with my wife. But if something happened that made me single, I would need one. Cause the great thing about being older that I've found...is older sluts. Desperate Housewives is a lot more than the title to a show. | |||||||||||||||||||||

You remind me of my father who had a moderate drinking problem until the medical community declared alcoholism a 'disease'. Then he declared that he had an 'illness', not a problem, that it wasn't his fault, and within a month had developed a severe drinking problem. Blaming others for your weakness is cowardly. Bother not the cat. For they are sneaky and will piss on thy keyboard. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Screw that, they are divorcing their wives and expecting sex from younger fresher women. Somebody grab the Grecian formula and the soloflex. I need a new piece o booty. Men are visual, the old wife just won't do any more. | |||||||||||||||||||||
