Sorry, I haven't yet learned how to put a link in a comment, but here's a story with some more data:<BR/><BR/>http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2008Jan16/0,4670,BabyBoomlet,00.html<BR/><BR/>I notice that the story includes the statistic that the teen birth rate is up, which I guess some people would find to be bad news, but which causes me to think that perhaps fewer teenagers are getting abortions when faced with an unplanned pregnancy. And that would be something to be thankful for.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04817680463922038375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973269483459581996.post-17482618482666300692008-01-20T14:36:00.000-06:002008-01-20T14:36:00.000-06:00I would posit that the reason the abortion numbers...I would posit that the reason the abortion numbers are down has more to do with the fact that the populations most likely to consider abortion have been themselves previously decimated by the first generation after Roe V Wade making use of their new "freedom" to abort. There are simply LESS women around to be getting pregnant.<BR/><BR/>Call it the freakonomics theory of abortion reduction. <BR/><BR/>Or call me paranoidly pessimistic.Elephantschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610471467736150461noreply@blogger.com
