Abortion, Birth-Control: A Reality Check

I know I'm most likely preaching to choir on this blog, but here are some numbers that social/cultural conservatives should mull over-

Two studies published on Friday show abortions are declining worldwide due to wider use of birth control practices and that the rate of pregnancy-related deaths is not shrinking quickly enough to meet global targets.

This should be obvious-- greater access to birth control decreases unwanted pregnancies, and thus abortions-- but to some it remains heresy. These folks don't want to educate, they just want to (selectively) moralize.

More from the study-

The number of abortions fell most in developed countries where it is legal compared to poorer countries where it is largely banned and considered unsafe, researchers said.

Again, food for thought. Again, duh.
