Nearly everywhere, in red states and blue, abortions are down since 2010, with an overall drop of about 12 percent.

Re: “I don’t really care what they [Democrats] try to take credit for.”

OK.

Since this is a political website, I assumed you did care.

Ultrasound machines show a baby with beating heart 3 weeks after the orgasm! Gd bless.

That, and an awareness among young people that they probably lost a brother or sister to the abortionist's vacuum suction machine.

Thanks Mom.

We will never know how many babies were aborted by the morning after pill, just saying. We can’t feel a false sence of accomplishment and think we are winning when the unknown is out there. We must win the hearts of all women to always be open to life. That is the what we need to figure out, how to change their hearts.

Only about the sane ones. The insane are beyond hope.

Another post mentioned that new immigrants have not yet “learned about infanticide.”

Sorry, not true.

In California, both Blacks and Hispanics have an out-of-wedlock rate above 70%.

Huh?

[Chaguito]

The no. of abortions as a percent of total US population peaked in 1980, seven years after Roe vs. Wade. It is now well below one-half that peak, and only perhaps 1.5x to 2x the pre-Roe vs Wade levels.

It is interesting that the increase of abortions as a percent of total US population actually began a few years before Roe vs Wade.

I really believe this is evidence that logical and moral arguments can be effective to some extent. It’s like Wilberforce having to keep plugging away for decades to finally defeat slavery in Great Britain.

...and during Ronald Reagan's term.

During Jimminey Carter's term.

Go figure.

Sorry, can't lean forward that far.

Re: “Huh?”

You responded to the “Minority Republican” comment on out-of-wedlock births with your own comment about Baby Boomers.

Blacks and Hispanics - who are overwhelmingly Democrat - have the highest abortion rates and the highest out-of-wedlock birth rates in America.

In their day the Baby Boomers, who are overwhelmingly white, had an abortion rate and an out-of-wedlock rate that was less than one half that of Blacks and Hispanics.

I thought that might interest you, but, apparently not.

They also vote.

Usually by the busload, at early voting polling sites.

I always thought it would decline within a couple of generations. I have met the women who regret it during my short time at a crisis pregnancy center. It was there I learned ultrasound works and women deeply regret abortions. If pro-life clinics offered two free ultrasounds in major cities (and i think most do) it would help. Sad and ironic, but the moms who came to the clinic couldn’t wait to see their ultrasound.
Within the next year I hope to return to this ripe field. Women who see their baby form a relationship with them and it decreases the likelihood of abortion. Will they keep the same behavior afterwards... probably. The abortion- breast cancer link will become reality in the next ten to fifteen years too.

One abortion is too many.

Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980. He was inaugurated, obviously in 1981.

Jimmy Carter was elected in 1976.

Roe v Wade was decided in 1973.

My daughter has a girlfriend she has known since the third grade, they are very close. The girlfriend is carrying her second child and the baby has serious developmental problems and may not be able to be carried to full term. And even if the child makes it to full term the baby will not survive long after birth. Some of her doctors advised her to terminate the pregnancy. But she said that she is the Mother of her baby and she will give her baby every moment of life she possibly can. She said that’s what a Mother does.

Right you are, but implementation was not instantaneous. The Supreme Court struck down several state restrictions on abortions in a long series of cases stretching from the mid-1970s to the late 1980s, but upheld restrictions on funding, including the Hyde Amendment, in the case of Harris v. McRae (1980).




This chart clearly shows the greatest increase in the rate of abortion during Carter's fiasco.

Yes, they do. But the solution is to change the voting laws, not to try to argue with them.

I’m a little curious as to what was going on before 1973 and after 2004 (the limits on the graph). I don’t remember anything particularly happening in 1994, other than Republicans taking over Congress.

BTW, how’s Jenny?

I found this:


Other info showed the abortion rate prior to 1970 to be very low.

Jenny's fine, thanks for askin' :)
