Quote of the Day, November 21, 2012: from a new TurnAway study which reveals an interesting finding that women who had abortions were less likely to suffer poverty :
According to an ANSIRH presentation of preliminary findings to the American Public Health Association this year, both groups of women had similar economic circumstances prior to seeking abortions. One year later, however, 76 percent of women who had been denied abortion were on public assistance, compared to 44 percent in the group who had undergone abortions. In addition, 67 percent who had not had abortions were under the poverty line, compared to 56 percent in the abortion-receiving group. Only 48 percent of those who had not terminated their pregnancies were working full-time, compared to 58 percent in the cohort who received abortions. The vast majority of women who did not abort kept their babies.–excerpted from US News and World Report story, “Study Shows Women Who Had Abortions Less Likely to Suffer Poverty,” by Danielle Kurtzleben
