[quote]Anybody who truly wants to reduce abortion rates needs to look at these facts and act accordingly—support universal healthcare (not the market-based ObamaCare) and quality social welfare programs, as these are the only policies which have been PROVEN to reduce abortion rates reliably[/quote]
Banning abortions doesn't actually prevent abortions. It simply reduces the amount of [i]safe[/i] abortions, and forces women to seek other, unsafe ways to terminate their pregnancies. That is a fact. Your campaigns to shut down abortion centers are wrong. Simple as that.
You know what [i]does[/i] reduce abortion rates? Universal health care. Sexual education. Universal childcare.
Please do your research before you decide to protest outside abortion clinics. Thanks.
Purse, out.

Adoption needs to be streamlined and made a more attractive option to offset the increase in births vs. terminations. Adopting parents don't need to be THE BEST HOME, they need to be a willing, caring home that's better than institution. Adopting as it is in the U.S. is a status symbol for all its costs, and that needs to change.
