Killing unborn babies as a form of "retroactive birth control" is something we associate with the benighted Third World, right? Not the civilized West. Wrong! Here are some shocking statistics from closer to home -- New York City.

The Chiaroscuro Foundation is dedicated to reducing the rate of abortion in New York. In a just-released study of NYC abortion stats, the Foundation says that 41% of the recorded pregnancies in the city end in abortion: a rate nearly double the national average.

The Foundation also found that more than half are obtained by women who have had at least one prior abortion, and more than one-third are financed by Medicaid.

What are the worst areas for baby-killing? Brooklyn is bad. Queens is worse. And the Bronx is the worst of all. Check out the map to see how your zip code stacks up

The scale of the human tragedy of abortion in New York City demands action. But what can we do? The Chiaroscuro Foundation offers some practical suggestions. If you're a New Yorker -- or even if you're not -- their efforts deserve your support.
