If abortions are down, then why push to overturn Roe?

He is setting the table to abolish it completely...this is the beginning.

1. Abortions Are Up - It's a Being Poor Thing

2. Abortions aren't down

That's a new lie to counter the Democratic strategy to say the anti-abortion strategy isn't actually reducing abortions.

3. Dumbass - BIRTHRATES have been down for years (link)

Even if abortion rates are down (which I haven't personally verified), there is a clear trend here that says the benefit to society is the availability of birth control and education.

4. ETP's acutally went down under Clinton...

E.arly T.erminated P.regnancies (as opposed to the equivalent term: abortion) actually went down under Clinton (but then again, there were breaks for education and improved economic outlook too). Under Bush, unfortunately and consequent to the impaired opportunities for education, employment along with the rising cost of living... the number of women forced to resort to ETP has been steadily increasing (despite the 'just say no to sex' campaign--talk about stupid; I don't doubt that AIDs infection rates are up too--since the same campaign repudiates condom's as ineffective for prevention of both pregnancy and disease transmission--which is simply a cruel deception).

5. Yep and that's a lie with what he said

Abortions rose under his first term 20% so what do you think they are now with a horrible economy? Abortion was the lowest ever when Clinton was president. As James Carville would say: it's the economy stupid!
