Abortion rate drops

Why the falling abortion rate calls for a truce in the culture war - The Week



In 2011, the abortion rate in the U.S. fell to its lowest level since Roe v. Wade legalized the procedure in 1973, according to a new study from the Guttmacher Institute. The study, to be published in the journal Perspective on Sexual and Reproductive Health, found that 16.9 women per 1,000 women ages 15 to 44 had an abortion in 2011, down from 19.4 abortions per 1,000 childbearing women in 2008 and a high of 29.3 abortions per 1,000 in 1981.
the 13 percent decline in abortions "coincided with a steep national drop in overall pregnancy and birth rates," says lead author Rachel Jones. That's due to both an increase in women using "highly effective contraceptive methods such as the IUD" and long-lasting birth control injections, Jones says, as well as the pregnancy-dampening effects of the Great Recession.

50 years from now , abortion as a form of birth control will be viewed like how we today view when slavery was legal

Wow, so 15 is considered a "woman". Someone needs to tell Obama since the ACA has child listed as up to age 26.

 

[BDBoop]

Offspring would have been the more logical word.

Abortion isn't a "form of birth control" in North America. It was the only legal form of birth control in Japan for many generations.

In future, people will look upon the right to control reproduction as self-evident and the right to life goon squads as terrorists.

Abortion isn't a form of birth control? Then what do you call it? After science proves a fetus is a baby, abortion will be considered murder and anyone who got one or supported it will be considered a criminal.

At the lowest level since 1973.

When it took an exponential leap from pre-RvW rates.

Plus, we don't really know the numbers, because PP and Guttmachers don't have all the numbers...since abortion clinics aren't required to actually provide real information and some states aren't required to submit any stats at all..including California and New York, where a huge number of abortions take place.

So..you were saying what?

Of course it's birth control. DL is confused and her comment doesn't make sense.
It's not CONTRACEPTION because it of course kills the baby after conception.

Guess what Conservatives?

Abortion will not be banned. It is here to stay. Our best option is to reduce the NEED for an abortion. 13% is a significant drop

We need to continue offering women options so that abortion is their last choice

 

[Plasmaball]

no this is bad news, we need more abortions! our religion dictates it!

No, because we are replacing you auto-Darwinizing pro-baby killing numbskulls.

The demographics favor people who despise abortion and the professoriate is having reduced results teaching their anti-life values to college students.

Demographically you guys are losing and the future belongs to us, beochez!

And those same clinics protect rapists who do not get reported by them.

Myth of Back-Alley Abortions Refuses to Die - NYTimes.com

The 1.2 million figure comes from a 1955 conference on abortion convened by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. The full conference report was published in 1958 as a book called "Abortion in the United States."

On page 180 appears the statement that spawned the 1.2 million abortion myth: "a plausible estimate of the frequency of induced abortion in the United States could be as low as 200,000 and as high as 1.2 million per year. . . . There is no objective basis for the selection of a particular figure between these two estimates as an approximation of the actual frequency." Nonetheless, abortion advocates seized upon the 1.2 million a year figure and promulgated it in their campaigns for abortion legalization.

The falsity of the 1.2 million figure is evident from statistics compiled by Planned Parenthood's Alan Guttmacher Institute for 1973, the year abortion became legal following the Roe v. Wade decision that Jan. 22. The institute totaled 745,000 abortions for the year.


Only a fool could accept that abortion legalization -- followed by heavy advertising, along with Government and insurance payments

for the procedure -- led to an immediate decrease of nearly 500,000 abortions!

It will eventually be banned as our grandchildren outnumber yours by 10 to one.

40 years and counting. Your track record is not so good

Better chances of reducing abortion than to ban it

Poll: 84 Percent of Americans Support Abortion Restrictions

More than 8 in 10 Americans (84 percent) do not see the abortion debate as an all-or-nothing proposition, saying that laws can protect both the well-being of a woman and the life of the unborn.

Other key findings of the survey include:
◦80 percent support parental notification before a minor can obtain an abortion.
◦79 percent support a 24-hour waiting period prior to having an abortion.
◦76 percent oppose allowing abortions to be performed by non-doctors.
◦62 percent want to change laws to allow for some restrictions on abortion.
◦58 percent support showing a woman an ultrasound image of her baby at least a day before an abortion.
◦57 percent believe abortion does a woman more harm than good in the long run.

We are winning, abortion is declining, and eventually abortion will once again be illegal.
