Abortion Kills More Black Americans Than the Seven Leading Causes of Death Combined, Says CDC Data
posted 11/02/2009, 4:28 AM (CNSNews.com) [Category: Brave New World] Abortion kills more black Americans than the seven leading causes of death combined, according to data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for 2005, the latest year for which the abortion numbers are available.
Abortion killed at least 203,991 blacks in the 36 states and two cities (New York City and the District of Columbia) that reported abortions by race in 2005, according to the CDC. During that same year, according to the CDC, a total of 198,385 blacks nationwide died from heart disease, cancer, strokes, accidents, diabetes, homicide, and chronic lower respiratory diseases combined. These were the seven leading causes of death for black Americans that year.
A total of 49 jurisdictions reported their abortion numbers for 2005 to the CDC. These included all 50 states--except California, Louisiana, and New Hampshire--and New York City and the District of Columbia. Of these 49 jurisdiction, only 36 states plus New York City and the District of Columbia reported the number of abortions by race.
Of these 36 states, Georgia reported the largest number of abortions--18,325--among African Americans. Idaho and Montana reported the fewest, 16 and 17 respectively.
Among the large states not reporting abortions by race--and thus where the number of blacks killed by abortions is not included in the national total of 203,991--are California, Florida, Illinois and the rest of New York state outside of New York City.
According to the CDC, the total of 203,991 blacks killed by abortion in 2005 also does not include those aborted by "private physicians’ procedures.”
Every year since 1969, the CDC has amassed abortion data by state or area of occurrence, requesting i... (more)Flashback: Ultrasound images 'of a 23-week-old foetus smiling and grimacing, have made people change their views'

New Zealand Mayor: Pay "Appalling Underclass" Not to Breed
posted 11/02/2009, 4:28 AM (AAP) [Category: Brave New World] AN outspoken Kiwi politician has proposed a new solution to the country's child abuse problem - pay the "appalling underclass" not to breed.
Michael Laws - who stirred up controversy by calling the late Tongan King a "bloated brown slug'' - has again hit the headlines.
"That there is a group within our society who give their children no hope nor opportunity from the moment that they are born," the regional mayor wrote on the New Zealand radio website where he broadc... (more) |
N.J. Court Says Americans Have No Right To Buy Handguns
posted 11/02/2009, 4:27 AM (CBS News) [Category: Politics/Corruption] A New Jersey appeals court has concluded that Americans have no Second Amendment right to buy a handgun.
In a case decided last week, the superior court upheld a state law saying that nobody may possess "any handgun" without obtaining law enforcement approval and permission in advance.
That outcome might seem like something of a surprise, especially after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year ... (more) |
Read the Bills? How about Reading the Constitution?
posted 11/02/2009, 4:27 AM (Cato Institute) [Category: Commentary] You can live in this town for years and still occasionally find yourself gobsmacked by what counts as "normal" by Washington standards. Take the ongoing debate over whether it's fair for us to expect our elected representatives to read the laws they pass and expect us to follow.
Recently, Sen. Thomas Carper, D-DE, and Rep. John Conyers, D-MI, scoffed at the idea that they should read the health care legislation working its way through Congress (hey, it's only a matter of life and ... (more) |
Top insurer tells 1,000 GPs not to give swine flu vaccine
posted 11/02/2009, 4:18 AM (Irish Independent) [Category: Brave New World] An insurance company has warned 1,000 GPs not to administer the swine flu vaccine.
The HSE plans to enlist family doctors to give the swine flu vaccine to patients with pre-existing medical conditions.
But an insurance company which covers around 1,000 of the 2,200 to 2,500 GPs in the country advised them not to sign up for the work because of legal indemnity issues.
The HSE has given GPs until today to sign up to give the vaccine to 400,000 of their ... (more) |
Vaccinations for better or for worse?
posted 11/02/2009, 4:18 AM (The Freeman Institute) [Category: Brave New World]
There are some fundamental questions that should be asked of any proposed treatment including vaccines. Does it do what it claims it will do? What are the benefits? What are the risks? What are the alternatives? How has the proposed treatment been promoted to physicians and the public? Yet, as I have demonstrated in my last article entitled "Stop the Swine Whine," these questions have been largely ignored ... (more) |
Immune Suppressing, Carcinogenic Hand Sanitizers in Schools to Prevent H1N1 Flu
posted 11/02/2009, 4:18 AM (PreventDisease) Rinse-free hand sanitizers are, by definition, intended for degerming skin without the aid of rinsing with soap and water. This type of product has steadily gained popularity in schools and public facilities to prevent the flu. However, the risks of using such hand sanitizers far exceed the benefits as most have carcinogenic and immune suppressing compounds.
Health agencies across the world have annouced a need for immediate and persistent protection from h... (more) |
Mass vaccination of schoolchildren to stop spread of swine flu
posted 11/02/2009, 4:18 AM (The Telegraph) [Category: Brave New World] The Government has said that it wants to expand the vaccination programme to all vulnerable groups. Department of Health scientists are expected to advise that schoolchildren are targeted by the end of the year.
The proposals come amid growing concern about the number and severity of infections in children. Figures released last week show that children under the age of 15 account for a fifth of all swine flu hospital admissions.
A total of 217 children have been tr... (more) |
People will die after swine flu vaccine - but it's just coincidence
posted 11/02/2009, 4:18 AM (The Telegraph) [Category: Brave New World] With millions of people being vaccinated against the virus there is a real risk that coincidental events will be seen as reactions to the jab, a paper in The Lancet said.
Experts at Cincinnati Children's Hospital in America calculated the background rate of conditions that may be mistaken for vaccine reactions and warned that there is a risk people will shun the jab needlessly.
Only if these background rates are exceeded will it point to a potential problem with th... (more)Unfortunately this article is not a joke. |
