Bishop responds to 39% abortion rate

Last month the New York city health department released statistics that reported 39% of pregnancies were deliberately terminated. This week NY Archbishop Timothy Dolan held a press conference calling religious leaders to do something about it.

For his part Dolan rededicated Catholic commitment to providing alternatives to abortion.

“I re-affirm Cardinal John O’Connor’s promise of a quarter-century ago that every woman facing a difficult pregnancy will be provided with free, confidential help of the highest quality from the Archdiocese of New York,” said Archbishop Dolan.
“We are prepared to do everything in our power to help you and your unborn baby to make absolutely certain that you need never feel that you have no choice but an abortion.”

The Chiaroscuro Foundation, a non-profit organization, pledged $1 million in 2011 to promote alternatives to abortion in New York City.
