What is no where near the t***h? That 650,000+ babies are murdered in the US EACH YEAR??? Believe what you want to, but that number is a fact....not an opinion of mine. And if you call what I'm doing whining, then yes....I will whine and whine and wail and cry for these many many lives who are not allowed to live! It is the epitome of evil!
Do you even know what the OP was about on this thread?? bet you do not stole the darn thing for your rant on a******ns..
OK...lets go..
the number of a******ns in the us has been declining for years, and it is not because of you people bombing clinics or murdering doctors..
It is the progress of groups like Planned Parenthood and others.. what is it.. wait for it...
It is BIRTH CONTROL....and that does not mean abstinence.. real birth control..
Kind of long and tedious, follow the link if you care..

A******n restrictions were not the main driver of the decline in the U.S. a******n rate between 2011 and 2017. Rather, the decline in a******ns appears to be related to declines in births and pregnancies overall. There are a number of potential explanations for this broad decline, some more plausible than others.
Understanding the factors driving the decline in the a******n rate has important policy implications. However, attempts to reduce a******n through coercive restrictions are a direct violation of individuals’ dignity, bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom.
Between 2011 and 2017, the U.S. a******n landscape changed significantly. As documented by the Guttmacher Institute’s periodic a******n provider census, all the main measures of a******n declined, including the number of a******ns, the a******n rate and the a******n ratio.1,2 The declines are part of trends that go back decades.
The number of a******ns fell by 196,000—a 19% decline from 1,058,000 a******ns in 2011 to 862,000 a******ns in 2017.1,2
The a******n rate (the number of a******ns per 1,000 women aged 15–44) fell by 20%, from 16.9 in 2011 to 13.5 in 2017.
The a******n ratio (the number of a******ns per 100 pregnancies ending in either a******n or live birth) fell 13%, from 21.2 in 2011 to 18.4 in 2017.
