Edward Pohlman, in a pre-Roe study financed by Planned Parenthood, noted:
“Induced abortion requires overt action and a decision that is somewhat daring. In cultures which provides sanctions against abortion, it is impossible to believe that all of the parents who want abortions have them. Others would seriously, consciously like to have them but do not, because of health, conscience, public opinion, and other barriers… there are psychological as well as legal and practical differences between… seriously considering abortion and actually going through with one, to be sure.”
Edward Pohlman “The Psychology of Birth Planning” Shenkman Publishing Company, Cambridge Massachusetts, 1967, 220
The conclusion of the study was that anti-abortion laws deter women from having abortions. Many women do not seek abortions when it is illegal. Making abortion legal leads to an increase in the number of abortions.
Well duh! Wonder how much this study cost taxpayers.
This conclusion took a study?
I understand that there are Liberals out there who do “Studies” and that they have to be kept employed.
