More Than 400 Pro-Life Laws Were Passed During the Last 10 Years and Abortions Dropped 23%

The start of a new decade offers a good opportunity to reflect on the past ten years of pro-life work. When the decade began, the pro-life movement was playing defense. President Obama, a staunch supporter of legal abortion, was in the White House. The pro-life movement rallied to oppose the Affordable Care Act out of concern that it would result in taxpayer funding for elective abortions.

But despite the eventual passage of the ACA and Obama’s reelection in 2012, the anti-abortion cause actually had an impressive decade. During the 2010s, pro-lifers were able to expose some of the more nefarious actions at Planned Parenthood clinics and enacted some policies partially defunding the abortion group, among other successes.

One key development was that groups were able to expose misconduct by Planned Parenthood executives and others in the abortion industry. In 2015, pro-life activist David Daleiden released a series of undercover videos showing numerous Planned Parenthood employees discussing their contracts to illegally profit from fetal tissue and fetal body parts of aborted babies.

Uhm, it’s documented that current twenty-somethings have less sex, and with fewer people than previous generations. When they do have sex, they use birth control.

So, it’s not only the laws. It’s the people.

Yes. The full headline in Guttmacher institute link - taken from the OP - is:
The U.S. Abortion Rate Continues to Drop: Once Again, State Abortion Restrictions Are Not the Main Driver
 
Abortion rates have been dropping since the 70’s. I credit the Hyde Amendment and increasing Medicaid coverage of pregnancies.

So, Guttmacher is or was associated with Planned Parenthood. You use them as a source. Alrighty.

Guttmacher may have changed recently per who runs them. They have also made it more difficult I believe to track abortions per states and the racial statistics of abortion which is devastating to their cause.

That said, they may record some stats unavailable elsewhere.

I’m not sure if there info is age-bracketed.

On Obama:

Barack Obama not only has a perfect record in opposing pro-life legislation, he even fought against a bill protecting the right to life of a baby born alive .

The Democrats defend even late-term abortions, partial birth abortions and now, even birthday abortions. Terrible.

I credit a lot of Republican legislation from Texas to Wisconsin, Ohio, the Dakotas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Mississippi and so on.

Executive Order 13535 is an executive order announced by President Barack Obama on March 21, 2010, and signed on March 24. It reinforces a commitment to preservation of the Hyde Amendment’s policy restricting federal funds for abortion within the context of recent health care legislation.

I hate to tell you this but a Republican Governor signed an abortion funding bill in Illinois and immediately there was a fourfold increase in abortions. All this under Trump forcing states to make the choice of funding abortions.

Please don’t make this personal “I hate to tell you”, I’m not voting for the Democrats and their support of abortion, I know the truth.

Trump is not the governor of Illinois. Illinois is with the high abortion rate states like NY, California and Delaware, probably NJ too.

I knew that and you have said this countless times. I hate to tell you, the Legislature in Illinois voted along party lines to pass that Democratic sponsored bill.

At least, the Republicans don’t have abortion in their platform and support things like Partial Birth abortion. Sure, you can find exceptions to that, that’s all and Rauner was voted out. He was probably trying to be reelected.

Hate to tell you, Democrats support abortion up to the minute of birth.

And the governor of Virginia has said to have discussed infanticide. Please, don’t try to rationalize unpardonable unforgivable acts by the Democrats. There are true pro-life Democrats in Louisiana who don’t go along with the Culture of Death DNC.

Republicans stand up for the right to life. They do the best they can in the climate of facing the Democrat party bankrolled by Planned Parenthood and even having Planned Parenthood in their rank and file with Senators like Tina Smith, MN, former Planned Parenthood official.

One can find exceptions but we all know, abortion on demand is in the Democratic platform. They stand up for the most lenient of abortion laws even in some states like NY. And they also try to make others go against their morals and pay for abortion.

Tells you all you need to know:

We have talked about this before. There are life-of-mother exceptions in the recent bills in Republican dominated states that allow late-term abortions irrespective of gestational age.

So, you are talking about exceptions, maybe rare occasions.

I go with the adage, “half a loaf of bread is better than none at all”.

One may reject that thought and that’s fine. That’s just for me.
