In 2000, the Democratic platform said the party’s goal was “to make abortion less necessary and more rare.”
If abortion is a right like the others in our Constitution, why work to make it rare?
We are almost forty years since Roe and the people of America are still sharply divided. What other "right" stirs so much opposition? None.
The despicable Roe court even abused a treasure, our Ninth Amendment, to justify unlimited murder.
Democrats have a hard time reconciling their logic on anything but one wonders just what they consider to be "necessary abortions.!?!"

So how many women’s lives have been saved by abortion?
Less than 3% of abortions since 1972 were reported to be “due to a risk to maternal health.” A reasonable person would recognize that not all of those cases represent a lethal risk. But let’s say they did. That means that nearly 45 million fetuses were butchered to save the lives of about 1.3 million women. Or put another way; 35 babies are killed to save each woman.
