Record Number of Abortion Restrictions Passed in 2021, Guttmacher Institute Reports
The Christian Post ^ | 12/31/21 | Ryan Foley

A pro-abortion think tank is decrying 2021 as “the worst year” for abortion rights in nearly 50 years as dozens of laws aimed at restricting access to abortion have passed at the state level in 2021.

The Guttmacher Institute, a pro-choice research organization formerly affiliated with Planned Parenthood, released a report earlier this month titled “State Policy Trends 2021: The Worst Year for Abortion Rights in Almost Half a Century.”

The report is the latest of several Guttmacher Institute publications highlighting the passage of numerous laws at the state level this year, which the organization and other pro-choice advocates characterize as setbacks for abortion rights in the United States.

Authored by policy associate Elizabeth Nash, the report notes that “106 abortion restrictions had been enacted in 19 states” during 2021, marking “the highest total in any year since abortion rights were affirmed by the US Supreme Court in 1973.”

The number of pro-life laws passed in 2021 exceeded the previous record of 89 abortion restrictions enacted in 2011, Nash states.

As is proper for a civilized society. Murdering the unborn is barbarism in the extreme. Only psychopaths advocate for murdering babies.

Yep.

The reason for any civilization is the protection of pregnant women and children.

If you do not do that then you are not a civilization no matter what else you may come up with. You are just a bunch of skilled barbarians. And soon to be gone.

“barbarians … soon to be gone.”

The pagans think they are advancing so with technology and medicine. To me it seems like the Lord is just allowing the world to continue until His elect are all in and His Wrath comes. His little ones truly preserve the world and He preserves the world for them, not the so-called powerful.
