Actually when resonable abortion restrictions are enforced (parent consent, 24 waiting period), the abortion rate does go down. The decline in abortion rates during the Clinton era was attributed to more abortion restrictions being passed. Cynically, the RATS claim that Clinton reduced the abortion rate, thus more pro-life than any Republican.

Dear Kuksool,

"Actually when resonable abortion restrictions are enforced (parent consent, 24 waiting period), the abortion rate does go down."

Well, that's one theory. I agree with it (although the only "reasonable" restriction on abortion in my view is to ban it).

Imagine how much more abortion rates will decline after Roe is overturned, and many states restrict abortion even more.
