Whatever the reason, it is good news

US abortions fall 5 percent, biggest drop in a decade - Vitals

The reason for the decline wasn't clear, but some experts said it may be due to better use of birth control during tough economic times. Their theory is that some women believe they can't afford to get pregnant.

"They stick to straight and narrow ... and they are more careful about birth control," said Elizabeth Ananat, a Duke University assistant professor of public policy and economics who has researched abortions.

By all accounts, contraception is playing a role in lowering the numbers.

Some cite a government study released earlier this year suggesting that about 60 percent of teenage girls who have sex use the most effective kinds of contraception, including the pill and patch. That's up from the mid-1990s, when fewer than half were using the best kinds.

this is one thing we do agree on, it is a good thing that abortion rates have dropped.

Uh-oh. Cue the whiny, crybaby conservative clowns now preach "the evils of birth control pills!!" "Contraception is against the Bible!" "STOP OBAMA'S WAR ON RELIGION!"

So Romneytards, how'd that "Obama's war against religion" talking point help your pathetic flip-flopping buffoon on election day? LOL!

Birth control pills are evil and against the Bible.

Hyperbole aside, how did the re-election of Barack Obama actually help liberals and Democrats? The last time I checked, John Boehner and the GOP still have BO's testicles in a vise, the same as they did on November 5th.

Please explain what you gained on November 6th. Thanks!

whatever you do, don't get into an argument with bible thumpers, you will get nowhere. Remember, they have Jesus on their side.
