Abortion is on the decline in the United States, and it has been for a while. Since 1991, the number of reported abortions in America has fallen by nearly a third, a decrease of about 500,000.
I love the chart. However, I don't think it would be a victory for the pro-life movement. If anything this shows that even in a post Roe v. Wade world abortion can still be mitigated. I believe this is best done through safe sex educational programs.
I believe it is also relevant to mention that the number of marriages and divorces has decreased in the past 20 years. Marriage is a big factor on keeping a child. Also the satisfaction rate in marriages has gone up since 1990. The evolving roles of marriages must be a big factor this.

Pro-life is not an accurate way of describing people who are against abortion. Most of them love killing people by capital punishment and support war, which is the all out destruction of human and every other kind of life. You are kidding yourself to say you are pro-life. You are likely very pro-death.
Ah but isn't that the magic of politics? Give your side's cause the catchy label and more people will flock to you. What does hypocrisy really matter?
