Let this be a lesson to all you breeders to get your titers checked if you are trying to get pregnant. There are reported cases of infections in vaccinated women because the immunity conferred by vaccination wanes over time.
eta - just googled it, and there are reported cases of rubella reinfection in women who have had a natural infection, too, so either way, get your titers checked.

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 not consider it separately from other domestic issues.

I doubt it has to do with income. It has to do with social acceptance of abortion.
