(Newsbusters<\/a>) One of every three\u00a0babies is aborted in New York City \u2013\u00a0a third of all the new lives conceived in the Five Boroughs. Seems newsworthy, but don\u2019t expect to hear that number from the networks.<\/p>\n

The day after Thanksgiving, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released its most recent\u00a0Abortion Surveillance report<\/a>, revealing U.S. abortion data for the year of 2014. For the pro-life movement, 2014\u00a0symbolizes<\/a>\u00a0the year after the conviction of abortionist Kermit Gosnell and the year before the Center for Medical Progress released its Planned Parenthood tapes.<\/p>\n

According to the CDC, a \u201ctotal of 652,639 abortions were reported\u201d for 2014 by 47 states, New York City and the District of Columbia. That number happily represented a 2% decrease in abortion from last year\u2019s\u00a02013 report<\/a>. Like last year, three states \u2013\u00a0California, Maryland and New Hampshire \u2013\u00a0refused to participate.<\/p>\n

But there wasn\u2019t just a decrease in abortion, which the CDC links to contraception use. There was also an increase in birth. The CDC\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a03,988,076 U.S. births for 2014, \u201cup 1% from 2013.\u201d<\/p>\n

But other news was more somber.<\/p>\n

As in 2013<\/a>, the highest abortion rate, in comparison to the birth rate, came from the most populated U.S. city. In 2014, New York City boasted the highest abortion rate \u2013 34.8 abortions for every 1,000 women of reproductive age (15-44) \u2013 and the highest abortion ratio \u2013 575 abortions for every 1,000 live births.<\/p>\n

With a total of 67,620 abortions, that means the city had approximately 117,600 births, according to CDC numbers. New York State\u2019s Department of Health\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0117,099 births. That translates into a total of 184,719 babies (born and aborted) for the city in 2014.<\/p>\n

That means more than one\u00a0in three\u00a0babies are aborted in New York City, and its abortion rate is more than 1\/2 of its birth rate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

No other state or area listed had an abortion ratio that came close. After New York City, Florida followed with an abortion ratio of 328 abortions for every 1,000 births.<\/p>\n

Other numbers went up. The abortion rate for African-Americans\/Blacks increased from 35.6% in 2013 to 36% in 2014. To put that in perspective, African-Americans\u00a0represent<\/a>\u00a013.3% of the U.S. population.<\/p>\n

But in general, as Ave Maria University professor Michael J. New said in a\u00a0piece<\/a>\u00a0for National Review, the CDC data showed that the \u201cU.S. abortion-rate decline, which began in the early 1980s, continues at a steady pace.\u201d<\/p>\n

He criticized the media\u2019s explanation for the decline:<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, most of the media coverage gives much of the credit for the abortion-rate decrease to increased contraception use. There is some evidence that there has been a short-term decline in the incidence of unintended pregnancies, but another key factor behind the 50 percent abortion-rate decline since 1980 is the fact that a smaller percentage of unintended pregnancies result in an abortion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While the three broadcast networks remained silent on the CDC data, online media outlets, from\u00a0Newsweek<\/a><\/em>to the\u00a0Los Angeles Times<\/a><\/em>, celebrated the report for showing that the U.S. abortion rate had fallen to a \u201chistoric\u201d and \u201crecord low.\u201d But more recent abortion numbers from Planned Parenthood, the nation\u2019s largest abortion provider, raise cause for concern.<\/p>\n

According to CDC numbers, the number of reported abortions in\u00a02013<\/a>\u00a0was 664,435. In\u00a02014<\/a>, that number dropped to 652,639. Planned Parenthood\u2019s annual reports also showed a drop those years: from 327,653 abortions in\u00a02013 \u2013 2014<\/a>\u00a0to 323,999 abortions in\u00a02014 \u2013 2015<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But then, Planned Parenthood abortion numbers surged to 328,348 abortions in\u00a02015 \u2013 2016<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Methodology:<\/em>\u00a0MRC Culture searched for the term \u201cabortion\u201d in broadcast network transcripts from Nov. 20 through Nov. 30 from the ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening news shows.<\/p>\n
