U.S. Abortion Rate Drops to Lowest Level in Decades
Posted on February 6, 2014 in Life by Nathan Cherry
The AP reports: “The U.S. abortion rate declined to its lowest level since 1973, and the number of abortions fell by 13 percent between 2008 and 2011, according to the latest national survey of abortion providers conducted by a prominent research institute.”
This despite living under the most pro-abortion president in U.S. history. Even though the Obama administration has done everything in its power to advocate for abortion, abortion numbers are falling. The Obama administration has partnered with Planned Parenthood to promote abortion, fund abortion, and do everything possible to see abortion advance. But the message of life is winning.
LifeNews.com wrote: “The pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, a former research arm of Planned Parenthood, released the report on the abortion rate today — noting that it declined to 16.9 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 in 2011, well below the 1981 peak of 29.3 per 1,000 and the lowest since 1973 (16.3 per 1,000). Between 2008 and 2011, the abortion rate fell 13%, resuming the long-term downward trend that had stalled between 2005 and 2008. The number of abortions (1.1 million in 2011) also declined by 13% in this time period.”
I believe this is happening because technology and science is proving what we’ve known all along about the unborn, that they are indeed human. Science continues to definitively prove the humanity of the unborn with 4D ultra-sound images, fetal pain science, and more.
With these advances in science the lies of Planned Parenthood and other abortion advocates have been exposed as…lies. Women know now, more than ever, that they are carrying a human life and that abortion will end that human life.
And before anyone argues that the slew of pro-life laws passed on the state level between 2011 and 2013 are responsible for this decline in abortions. Let me point out that this study sample, conducted between 2008 and 2011 was done before those laws were passed or went into effect. What do you think the next study sample of 2012-2015 will show?
