After the final presidential debate in October<\/a>, pro-abortion groups and media outlets tried to mislead on the truth regarding late-term abortions, going so far as to claim<\/a>\u00a0that extremely late-term abortions don’t happen. But data recently released<\/a> from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for 2013 shows that late-term abortions do occur. For that year in\u00a0New York City alone, out of 69,804 abortions, 2.5 percent —\u00a01,752 — were late-term (post 21 weeks).<\/p>\n

At CNSNews.com<\/a>,\u00a0Terence P. Jeffrey\u00a0notes that based on\u00a0the data, that’s one every five hours, making NYC “the nation’s late-term abortion capital.” The data is not broken down beyond 21 weeks, which means we don’t know just how late in term these children were aborted. Were they seven, eight, even nine months? We just don’t know. But the numbers are staggering.<\/p>\n

The CDC data is from 2013, voluntarily reported, and comes from states who choose to report their abortion data, as well as the District of Columbia and New York City. But NYC\u00a0beat\u00a0all other reporting states<\/em> in\u00a0terms of number of abortions performed after 21 weeks.<\/p>\n
