Since we always talk about abortion/planned parenthood and access to healthcare for low/no income women.
Here is the latest coming from the Guttmacher Iinstitute:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...evel-since-roe-v-wade/?utm_term=.804d76bc5580
Some highlights:
The researchers identify two main factors driving down the incidence of abortion. The first is a drop in the rate of unintended pregnancy, driven primarily by an increase in the use of long-term contraceptive measures, like IUDs, that are highly effective.
the second: More restrictive state-level abortion laws may also be playing a role. Numerous states saw a decline in the number of abortion clinics from 2011 to 2014, or enacted other restrictions on the practice, including waiting periods or bans on certain types of abortion.
Article goes on to say that the correlation between more restrictive abortion laws and drops in abortion rates is tenuous, since a few states that enacted strict abortion laws (North Carolina, Kansas, and Mississippi) actually saw an increase in the rates of abortions in those states.
young and low income women are having unplanned pregnancies. To me it seems that more affordable healthcare, education, and services might be a GOOD thing. We shouldn't take away these services, nor putting up barriers to healthcare.
