And the anti-choice people continue to push to make it illegal despite the facts showing that it has no effect on the number of abortions. Here’s a thought! Increase funding for family planning services and make birth control available for little or no cost and watch the abortion rate drop even lower! Of course anti-choice legislators don’t really want to eliminate abortions. If they did, they’d lose yet another wedge issue to gain votes and they are fast running out of wedges.
