Abortion rate at lowest level since Roe V Wade

[irosie91]

The sad thing is, there are a lot who would view that with alarm.

who ? I am pro-choice and delighted that abortion rates are down. It suggests
that women are taking control of their bodies

 

[NightFox]

and telling a woman what to do with her body isn't fascism?

Depends, what does the woman in question look like?

"If I told you that you have a great body, would you hold it against me?"

 

[owebo]

There are some nut jobs that probably think this is bad.

nut job reporting for duty; there are already too many fucking people on this planet, ever try to find parking at the mall on Saturday? 'nuff said

You fascists do hide in plain sight most of the time....

and telling a woman what to do with her body isn't fascism?

I don't care what she does with her body, why?

U.S. Abortion Rate Falls To Lowest Level Since Roe v. Wade

The abortion rate in the United States fell to its lowest level since the historic Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision legalized abortion nationwide, a new report finds.
The report by the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports legalized abortion, puts the rate at 14.6 abortions per 1,000 women of childbearing age (ages 15-44) in 2014. That's the lowest recorded rate since the Roe decision in 1973. The abortion rate has been declining for decades — down from a peak of 29.3 in 1980 and 1981.
The report also finds that in 2013, the total number of abortions nationwide fell below 1 million for the first time since the mid-1970s. In 2014 — the most recent year with data available — the number fell a bit more, to 926,200. The overall number had peaked at more than 1.6 million abortions in 1990, according to Guttmacher.

Some anti-abortion groups, meanwhile, argue the Guttmacher report shows new state restrictions on abortion are working. Kristi Hamrick, a spokeswoman for Americans United for Life, said she has her doubts about the Guttmacher report — since the data come from surveys of abortion providers — but accepts the overall conclusion. She emphasized the impact of new regulations on clinics and laws requiring women seeking abortions to get an ultrasound, which she said are having a "real, measurable impact on abortion."

The Guttmacher report says abortions restrictions do appear to be a factor in the declining numbers in some states. But principal research scientist Rachel Jones, lead author of the report, said that's not the whole story. She noted that abortion declined in almost every state, and "having fewer clinics didn't always translate into having fewer abortions."
A more important driver of the declining abortion rate, Jones said, appears to be improved access to contraception, particularly long-acting birth control options like IUDs. She noted that women in the United States have been using the highly-effective devices in growing numbers for more than a decade, and said the declining birthrate suggests more women are preventing unwanted pregnancies.

I am "pro-choice" or whatever bullshit moniker you want to put on it, but less abortions are a good thing!

Agreed... This kind of statistic is down to better sex education... I don't know anyone who is pro-abortion, pro-choice or none of my business is the majority...

 

[OldLady]

hadit is right though.. There are some nut jobs that probably think this is bad. Probably more than we think..

Yet neither you nor he has explained why.
Please?

They like violence and murder.

This thread is like discussing abortion at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party.

We are winning against the pro-choice baby killers....it's refreshing....

What do you mean "winning?"

People being repulsed by the actions of pro-choice baby killers....

ok but what are you winning?

Fewer babies being killed....

They are not babies... It is like me shooting someone and trying to claim I shot a corpse...

That would be fucking insane!
Sadly, goose is right. I once read about this women that has had multiple abortions simply because she enjoyed killing. Said all women should try it. Or something to that effect. It was a long time ago.

I believe that was fake news, TN. Abortions are physically painful (purposely so) and even if you didn't mind, emotionally, I don't think many women would have multiple abortions for the fun of it.

Just telling you what I read. You can believe it or not, Ms. Optimist... But there are some fucked up people in this world!

Actually, "fetus" is the Latin word for "child". They mean the same thing as infant, baby, etc.

That would be "puer". "fetus" isn't in the latin language, apparently. I just looked it up.

So 15 dead babies per 1000 women is acceptable?

Well I have to say, this is exiting. It's like in 1945 when the gasing of Jews fell to the lowest rate during the entire war.
