Some abortion-related facts (a version first posted 3/9/17):

“Since the Supreme Court handed down its 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton states have constructed a lattice work of abortion law…”
“43 states prohibit abortions, generally except when necessary to protect the woman’s life or health, after a specified point in pregnancy, most often fetal viability..”
“19 states prohibit partial birth” or late term “abortions, 3 of those laws apply only to postviability abortions.” - Guttmacher Institute/ 10-1-15
“38 states require parental involvement before a minor obtains an abortion.”  “59% of women obtaining abortions are mothers.”  - Guttmacher Institute/ 2017
 
Fetal viability means the “ability of a fetus to survive outside of the womb.”  “A preterm fetus of less than 23 weeks gestation has little chance of surviving outside of the womb.”     -- medical-dictionary-thefreedictionary.com

​3% of Planned Parenthood’s budget is spent on abortions, and since 1976 Planned Parenthood abortions cannot be federally funded, but must be funded via other means.  97% of Planned Parenthood’s budget is spent on women’s lives and related health issues.  (Washington Post/ 2015)

“In 2013, 664,435 legal induced abortions were reported to CDC from 49 reporting areas. The abortion rate for 2013 was 12.5 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years, and the abortion ratio was 200 abortions per 1,000 live births.”  - Jan 6, 2017/Data and statistics-Reproductive Health/CDC

    A carbuncle is a roiled mass of skin or a beautiful gem.  The incredible gem is pictured in the logo below and at the bottom of the short story section...

    Kevin O'Kendley is the owner of Carbuncle Moon, and the author of all original material -- cartoons, blogs, shorts, essays, articles -- on the website (there has been a very limited editorial input in some of my work).  All quoted sources are noted.  I am responsible for all posts.  The only blogs not time-dated are those advertising nonprofits.  All nonprofits are vetted, investigated, though after the summer of 2018 my vetting has lapsed: (6/1/21).

    Technical help is provided by an evolving computer genius, my son, Conor O'Kendley:  A good kid with a great heart who can be reached at P.O. Box 172, Winterport, Maine, 04496.  (Conor is in the Navy now, a swabby)

    Photography provided by a visual artist, my daughter, Caitlin O'Kendley: a young woman with a beautiful soul.  (Caitlin is in college now, a media-journalism student)
