Speaking of which, a sign in front of a church in the small town in the very red state in which I spent last weekend informed me that 26 babies die from abortions every ten minutes. Back of the envelope calculations I won't bother to repeat here lead me to conclude that 5% of the female population capable of childbearing has an abortion every year. Since, as Penske correctly notes, some percentage of woman are anti-abortion, and this percentage is somewhat less likely to have an abortion, that percentage must be even higher among the rest. Can this be right? Sounds high to me.
