The abortion rate in the United States reached a record low in 2017 as pregnancy rates declined and contraception use rose, according to the pro-choice Guttmacher Institute.
Guttmacher reported that there were 14.6 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15-44, a slight decrease from the 16.9 the organization estimated for 2014. The total number of abortions declined to 862,320, much lower than the 1.3 million observed in 2000 and a slight decline from the 926,200 reported in 2014.
According to Guttmacher, the decline follows a decades-long trend seen since the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Roe v. Wade -- although the number of legal abortions dramatically increased as states liberalized access and the Court made that decision in 1973.
The report came as a long list of states imposed abortion restrictions that ranged from clinic regulations to outright bans on procedures at certain points during the pregnancy, although many of those weren't passed during the study's timeframe.

Sperm Counts Continue to Fall

Almost related, I saw a white guy walking down the street yesterday with his pants hanging down real low.
“14.6 abortions per 1000 women...” Notice it doesn’t say “pregnant women.” This statistic is hiding the freakishly high percentage of abortions in California (1 in 4 pregnancies end in abortion), NY (1 in 3), and DC (2 in 5).
I believe that to be true, based on experience. (Two sons both post high school, one of them post college and just listening to how they and their friends talk.)
The thing I find most encouraging though is that the younger generation (again, based on observation and listening) is very much pro-life.
Let's hope and pray the trend towards zero abortions continues.
Praise the Lord!
But I always thought that contraceptives killed the formation of a baby. Definitely against God’s will, for He said, “Go forth and multiply.”
“I dont think theres as much sex going on either.”
I’m 75 and have bad lungs, what do you expect?
Also, that the young women are so demanding and perpetually dissatisfied, that is an impediment to intimacy. (Helen Reddy: “I am woman! Hear me whine, moan, nag and criticize!”)
I am reminded of an old saying from long ago, “The game is no longer worth the candle.”
“Almost related, I saw a white guy walking down the street yesterday with his pants hanging down real low.”
Unfortunately being white is no guarantee against being stupid.
Plus, there are companies that ship RU-486 to these United States without asking for a prescription, so even if we had an exact count of prescriptions, missing information. More statistically significant, a large number of RU-486 users are not pregnant, while 99%+ of abortion receivers are.
The phrase “down low” is prison slang. Prisoners who are open to male-male sex wear their pants down low to let other prisoners know. So, quite related.
But the pro-abortion will hit us over the head with this new stat saying there is no problem.
I heard the term Zoomers today.
I think todays men are looking at many women and thinking that marriage just isnt worth it as theres little upside. You simply make yourself much more vulnerable legally. Women simply have more rights than men these days.
