NY Abortion Rate Highest In The Nation

60 percent of pregnancies among 15 to 19 year olds end in abortion in New York, according to new figures from the Guttmacher Institute. The Institute says New York sets a culture that makes it acceptable to have an abortion, and it's an easy state to get one legally. In New York, there are 37 abortions for every 1000 teenagers. That's more then double the national rate of 18.
