Direct Connection between Economic Inequality and Abortion
Edited on Tue Jan-03-06 08:36 PM by ck4829
Be sure to bookmark this thread everybody.

I have made an important discovery.

I have the charts and graphs on another computer.

But, I can tell you this.

As Economic Inequality decreases, (the gap between the rich and the poor gets smaller), abortions decrease.

When I get the data, I will post it.

Tell your 'pro-life' Friends.

Stay tuned.

1. Well yeah
I remember reading during Bush's first term abortion went up 20% and abortion was pretty low during Clinton's years.

2. That's why they went down every year Clinton was in office
And have gone up every year in Chimpy's tenure.

3. the hypocrites don't care
It's power they're after. Abortion is just a good wedge issue and the Religious Right probably doesn't care either about that connection between income and the abortion rate as long as they can install their theocracy.

5. Here's 1 file
Sorry for just one file, I was dealing with a slight diversion, and I'm starting to get tired.



Now, in the case where on the Y axis, where it says 4 and 5, that's where I'm kind of dealing with little evidence, it is clear though that the lowest amount of abortions occur where the Gini Coefficient is the lowest.

More data will be posted tomorrow.
