Abortion in Hawai'i... Hawaii does not have any of the major types of abortion restrictions—such as waiting periods, mandated parental involvement or limitations on publicly funded abortions—often found in other states.2 Abortion in the United States... Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the U.S. According to its most recent annual report (2007-2008), 305,310 babies were aborted in its facilities during the last fiscal year. This was done with $350 million in federal, state and local tax funding.3 Source Data:
In 2007, the most recent year for which statistics are available, a total of 3,756 elective abortions were performed1
Abortion affects women of all races and ethnicities. For example, among mothers who chose abortion in 2007, 20% were Native Hawaiian, 18% were Caucasian, 15% were Filipina, 8% were Japanese, 4% were Chinese1
In 2007, most abortions were performed for residents of Honolulu County (92%), followed by Hawai‘i County (4%)1
As of 2005, there were 39 abortion providers throughout the state.2 Planned Parenthood is the leading provider in Hawaii, with locations on O'ahu, Maui, and the Big Island.
The number one cause of death in America is abortion. Conservative estimates put the number of deaths at nearly 50 million since abortion was legalized in all 50 states on January 22, 1973.
43% of women obtaining abortions identify themselves as Protestant, and 27% identify themselves as Catholic.
At current rates, one in three women will have at least one abortion by age 45.2
At the same time, Planned Parenthood made just 4,912 adoption referrals and helped just under 11,000 women with prenatal care and pregnancy help services--a tiny fraction compared with the number of abortions it performed. Planned Parenthood, like all "women's health" clinics reveals by the statistics in its own annual report that its true agenda is to perform as many abortions as possible, not provide true family planning services or offer legitimate choices to women in need.
