Abortion rates almost 1/2

Good news that should make the Conservatives happy ( if that is ever possible) - study finds that abortion rates over the last 30 years have dropped. Perhaps, that sex-education, condoms, morning after pill, and birth control pill thingies, and letting women having some control over their sex lives- things that make Conservatives head's go bang in the night- is making a huge difference in the difficult decision to have an abortion. Glad to see it happening.

They don't want to end abortion. They want something at which to be perpetually mad. That's it.

Nothing else will satisfy some people, except for the chance to attack doctors and clinics, to call it 'killing babies,' to posit that people actually enjoy abortion - all the same crap.

They won't be happy unless they can close all the clinics. That allows them to live in denial and pretend the issue has gone away.

Whereas, better access to sex education and birth control actually helps people.

The fight was never about Roe, it was and will always be about Griswold.
The Christian Taliban wants to make sure that sex is only for reproduction.
