I saw this in the Wall Street Journal and even as cynical as I am, I was frankly stunned.
Archbishop Timothy Dolan joined other religious leaders Thursday vowing to work to reduce the number of abortions in New York City.
Leaders of various faiths denounced figures that showed that 41% of pregnancies in the city were terminated in 2009. They also criticized sex-education programs in the public school system that include distributing condoms.
“That 41% of New York babies are aborted, a percentage even higher in the Bronx and among our African-American babies in the womb, is downright chilling,” said the archbishop, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church in New York City. “I invite all to come together to make abortion rare,” he added.
There is a webpage devoted to this issue, NYC41Percent.com . 2 out of 5 children in New York City are murdered before they even make it to their birthday. I am physically ill thinking about that. How cleverly has Satan convinced so many people that children are disposable, that aborting your child is an acceptable choice.
Please pray for the unborn in New York City. 40% of will never even have a chance at life.

Arthur,
This simply makes me sick.
It is a very alarming statistic. We must do ALL that we can to stand up for life. Society needs to return to traditional values, where sex outside of marriage is NOT the norm, and if a pregnancy outside of marriage does occur the young couple get married and take on their responsibilities. The contraception mentality has become a part of our culture since the early nineteen sixties, sex has now become a recreational activity.
Pope Paul VI wrote Humanae Vitae in 1968 - the document clearly sums up the devastating effects that a contraception mentality would have on society -
