A challenge for conservatives on abortion
From all that I've gathered, all attempts to restrict or eliminate abortion legally do little or nothing to reduce the actual abortion rate. In the meantime, when you increase access to abortion and contraceptives, the abortion rate goes down (particularly in combination with increased social spending and spending on healthcare). So, are these conservatives more interested in reducing the number of abortions in this country, or do they just hate women. If it's the former, they should vote Democratic and vote pro-choice, or at least pro-contraceptive (like antiabortion Senate Democratic Minority Leader, Harry Reid). That will reduce the abortion rate, not prohibitionist policies. But, if they're against abortion because they hate women and want to control women, they'll continue to ram their heads against the brick wall of facts and support prohibitionism.
