Abortion Rate hits lowest rate since 1974.

The attached ARTICLE details how the abortion rate is at it’s lowest since 1974.
The rate is 11+ per 1,000 or a bit over 1%.
“Only” 1.2 million cases of legalized infanticide occurred last year.
Read the article and you can tell the slant right away – it makes you feel like only 1.2 million murdered “fetuses” is a bad thing. If it wasn’t for crisis pregnancy centers, Christians (and Mormons) getting in the way… the abortion mills wouldn’t be so upset about business dropping off.
This article illustrates that the abortion issue is a winner for social conservatives. Why? People are using contraception and more women are realizing that this is a life in their womb.
Even Doug Ose (who supports abortion at any time, fully funded with tax dollars as well), would acknowledge that Medi-Cal paying for one woman to have seven abortions is an outrage. (A good friend who works for Sac County has told me that several of his clients have had 3-7 abortions at a cost of $6,500 a piece to the taxpayers)
The voters must think so, too. Surveys still show strong majorities oppose taxpayer funded abortion and think abortion should not be legal after the baby (fetus) has brain waves and a heartbeat. (roughly 6 weeks)
The establishment Republicans run from this issue to their own peril while Americans are figuring it out on their own. Yet another place where the GOP has lost an opportunity.
Romney? One of the attacks being leveled against him is that he flip-flopped on this issue. I posted an article a few months ago from a Massachusetts paper lambasting him for being pro-life long before he decided to run for President.
McCain? used to be pro-life until he decided Lieberman and Kennedy were his best buddies. Endorsed by liberals such as Doug Ose and Jim Nielsen who are two of his delegates from California. (both are pro-choice)
Rudy? I am sure one of his mistresses had to have an abortion.
Fred Thompson and Mike Huckabee are right on this issue.
Rico Oller – as Pro-Life as they come. Another reason why Rico is the “Choice” of the 4th CD.
UPDATE: Steve Frank has also weighed in on this issue Steve’s Blog Post
Please note that Steve’s blog is having some technical issues – his post about abortion is January 20th’s post.

It’s too bad Mitt only came to be pro-life 2 years ago. Maybe the abortion rate could have been lower in his state when he had a chance to show better judgement and leadership to Mass teens.
