identify themselves as Catholic.[7]

BAM

And surveys will tell you that 52% of American religionsists are
protestant, and 24% are catholics. Seems that 43% is 9% less than the
percentage of Protestants.

Yet, the catholic is 3% higher.

FACT: There is practically no difference in who is getting abortions.

FACT: Make all the laws you want. The rich people just will travel to
another country and have theirs, and the poor will be stuck having
babies they can't afford.

So cut the BULL, catholics are having abortions at the same rate as
the protestants.

Surveys will tell you that 98% of women of child bearing years, use
birth control.

More proof of how the church is out of touch with reality.

What baffles me, is how any church can claim people as members, who
never go to church and never contribute any money.

You need both these statistics to find out if a Catholic woman is more
or less likely to get an abortion than a Protestant woman is.

But how many Catholic and Protestant women are there in the US. The big
difficulty is in defining what a Protestant is. Perhaps, this should be
the sum of all non-Catholic, Christian women.

Catholic Women and Abortion


By William A. Donohue


In a study by the Alan Guttmacher Institute, it was reported that
Catholic women have an abortion rate 29 percent higher than
Protestants.

====================
And it was mostly the catholic girls in my school and neighborhood who

had

unprotected sex and got pregnant years ago. At the time their church and
parents believed in keeping them IGNORANT of the facts of life. They
thought sex-ed would encourage them to enjoy sex before marriage. Birth
control was forbidden and a taboo subject. All that IGNORANCE made them
easy victims of their own hormones and pleading boyfriends. So why

should

it surprise anyone that they have such a high abortion rate? Try

teaching

them about birth-control and disease prevention and see what happens.

** Most Catholic girls would not have an abortion. The net result is an
increase in the supply of potential altar-boys,

====================
I didn't see where they were less inclined to abort if the boy wouldn't
marry them.

Shame was heaped on them for getting pregnant. A quickie
marriage sometimes saved the day, if the man (or boy) was willing.

Not all families had the money to send the girl on an extended trip abroad
if you get my drift.....

Catholic Women and Abortion


By William A. Donohue


In a study by the Alan Guttmacher Institute, it was reported that
Catholic women have an abortion rate 29 percent higher than
Protestants. The study also concluded that about half of American women
will have an abortion at some point in their lives. The gist of the
findings is that a) the Catholic Church's teachings on abortion are
falling on deaf ears and b) abortion is becoming a common procedure
among women. But there is more to this than what the public has been
left to believe.

To begin with, in virtually every newspaper account on this story,
there was no mention of the fact that the Alan Guttmacher Institute is
the research arm of Planned Parenthood, the nation's leading abortion
rights organization that receives tens of millions each year from the
federal government to service its mission.

Could it have something to do with not using birth control? Or maybe
something about the religion makes them horny. Probably both.

** I grew up near a RC parochial school, and my take on the girls was
that they walked somewhat differently than the girls in public school.
Sure, this sounds crazy, but, prior to the Internet, who the hell would
have guessed that there was a market out there for anatomically correct
Catholic schoolgirl dolls?

There is? Where can I buy some?
