Statistic I would like to see evidence for

Philadelphia has some interesting ads in it's public buses. On the one I ride to work I often see this one:



Now that's a statistic I find hard to believe - almost 50% of black children in Philadelphia are aborted? Really? Considering the source is the Family Life Educational Foundation, which is a affiliation of some hard-line pro-life groups (according to the City Paper), I highly doubt this is what it seems.

Say, that's a trick question; you can't abort a child!

Ah, Pro-Lifers!

Ha ha.

I'm guessing possibly they mean almost 1/2 of women who have an abortion in Philadelphia are black - that would make more sense according to the demographics of the city. Way to twist a statistic!
