Not to be a downer, but I read these statistics and I am skeptical. Are we talking about abortions that take place in a clinic? (Surgical abortions)
What about at-home abortions? (Medical abortions)

It’s seems that as one increases the other would decrease.

A woman can be prescribed the abortion pill(s). We don’t know if she took them or not, so perhaps these abortions are no longer counted?

Does anyone know?

Also, does anyone know the sales of Plan B? I just don’t trust these numbers. 😦
 
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 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.
 
The last of the baby boomers are hitting menopause.

This might be the silver lining.:rolleyes:

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.
