This is proof that no matter what the politicians, or courts, or the media, say, abortions will drop if people are properly informed.
all this without making abortion illegal.
What is needed is a national pro-life ad campaign. Organizers would be paid more or less or even fired depending on the success of the campaign.
Laws don’t drive public opinion, but public opinion can and does drive the law.
1.2 million abortions in the United States in 2005.
I wonder if the rate of abortions has dropped because there are less non-Hispanic (Hispanics are largely Catholic) young people around to get pregnant.
IOW - Having abortions will reduce the number of future abortions.
Hey!
Only 1,200,000 per year, now?
Great!

I recently read somewhere that abortions are down, but use of the abortion pill (I believe it is called RU-486) is up by about 21% if the article I read is correct. Seems that doctors that won’t do abortions are more willing to write a script. . .
Clean and tidy for all involved, except the poor baby.
Such a sick, demented world we live in.
The death of 1.2 million children a year via abortion is a testament to how our culture has degraded over the last 60 or so years. Morally is tossed away without even an afterthought when it comes to the birth and rearing of children.
I pray that my grandchildren are alive and happy, and I offer the same prayer for their children and offspring, forever. For others who have not seen the light, I pray that their hearts may be turned to the Gospel of Life, and discard the world of darkness.
The women getting pregnant today are those who weren't aborted as fetuses after Roe v Wade. The most pro abortion women have fewer children. Pro life women have more children who tend to grow up to be pro life themselves. The DemocRATS have aborted a large portion of a whole generation of potential DemocRAT voters.
The numbers on the total abortions in the US is not complete or credible because:
1. They are based on compilations done by the Alan Guttmacher Institute, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Planned Parenthood
2. Some states do not report the numbers of abortions at all—I believe California is one of them, and CA is a very large state.
The real question is:
After 35 years of abortion on demand, sex education, AIDS, free condoms, dozens of new STDs instead of three or so,easily obtained and efficient birth control methods and products flooding the market,all those COSMO magazines telling woman everything they ever needed to know about sex,and every child supposed to be a wanted child:
Why are there still more than 1.2 million abortions a year?
RU 486 abortions don’t count in their thinking.
Unfortunately, they are only counting operative abortions. The number of chemically induced abortions are not included in this number.
How many prescriptions are being written for these pills a year now, and how many times do they end a pregnancy before the need for a surgical intervention.
It could well be that much of the apparent drop in the numbers is due simply to the use of another method.
