I am glad to hear that abortions are down. Let us hope and pray that the number of abortions performed each year continue to go down, and that people realize that abortion is a terrible evil.
Hey, Al, nice seeing you around these parts.
Supporters of abortion rights say the fall in terminations is due to increased access to contraceptives.
I certainly hope it’s the latter…Opponents says more women are carrying unplanned pregnancies to full term.
That and ensuring that social safety nets are in place so that those women who do experience an unplanned pregnancy don’t feel as though they carrying the child to term will ruin the rest of their life. That’s something that, theoretically, individuals from across the political spectrum could agree.It seems to correlate to the drop in teen pregnancy. Perhaps the better way to reduce abortions is by reducing demand (unplanned pregnancy) more so than reducing supply (clinics/drugs).
That’s the strategy in Western Europe. That’s why their abortion rates are so much lower than ours. It’s not because their young people are more chaste than ours, I would think.It seems to correlate to the drop in teen pregnancy.
