What? High moral standards might be coming back?

No, just more “other ways”...

Seeing as 4 out of 5 aren’t hesitating, I’m gonna go with “no”.

“High moral standards might be coming back?”

Probably not. I think what’s happening is explained by game theory. If the rules change, the players change their behavior to accommodate. If abortion had never been legal, then the “need” for it would have been minimal. When I was in high school a very small number of girls got pregnant. (Probably three out of the twenty-five hundred in my graduating class.) They were ostracized. To avoid ostracism their friends did not get pregnant. Had abortion been easily available, especially without the need to notify parents, then a lot more of them would have been having sex.
