Abortion redux
Quote:
Originally posted by Replaced_Texan
There was an editorial on Sunday in the Houston Chronicle (and, I assume, other papers) about abortion rates and the Bush administration. The authors were a professor of Christian ethics (who, with his wife, chose not to terminate a pregnancy after she had contracted Ruella in the first trimester and consequently had a blind child) and an investigative journalist.
They found that abortion rates, which had been falling steadily in the 1990s began to increase (in Colorado, dramatically) since Bush went into office. They cite a few reasons for this: decline in income, increase in unemployment, lack of health insurance, and lack of social services. Ultimately, they conclude that economic factors are heavily tied to abortion rates and people who care about abortion should consider it separately from other domestic issues.
They just stop short of endorsing Kerry, but they certainly reference him:

Is there a "not" missing in the last sentence of the 2nd paragraph of your post? Or am I still germ-infested, and missing something? |
