On the Mets flight from Philadelphia to Montreal Tuesday night — just hours after the Pirates had traded Kenny Lofton, Aramis Ramirez and Scott Sauerbeck — there was an excited ruckus in the rear of the Mets charter.

Statistics Destroy Pro-Abortion Argument

Today, the percentage of pregnancies ending with abortion is less than one in four. Amazingly enough, statistics show that at the same time abortion is going down, out-of-wedlock birth is also going down-thereby destroying the most prominent argument for abortion on demand.

This is a statistic I didn’t know. Amazing what you learn when you’re looking for articles that fit your theme for the Blogathon. Something for the pro-abortionists to think about.
