Yeah, the Democrats have used “safe, legal and rare” to successfully market abortion. It’s actually not a bad approach politically, but the Democrats really only want the legal part. They consistently reject any attempts to force abortion clinics to meet medical safety standards like hospitals, and they push ready availability of the abortion pill and abortion clinics in general—hardly what I would call making abortion “rare”.
I read on FR the other day that "80,000 abortions were performed in the state of NY".
I didn't believe the poster, so I looked it up. The poster was completely wrong....per "The Guttmacher Institute" (which I wasn't familiar with at the time), in 2011 *alone* there were 138,370 abortions performed in New York.
That's a city. A fair-sized city. At that rate, over 10-12 years, you could populate a decent-sized state.
And, there are 49 other states that are performing abortions (though, to be fair, NY is the largest one, I think).
I really had no idea of the extent of the issue. This is not "rare", nor are they all a "product of rape or incest". Truly, FR is an educational site.
