It's almost as if educating people and birth control programs work.

What a disgusting comment.

First framing the completely unnecessary genocide of millions of innocent babies as "anti-choice", then telling people they should be thankful an openly pro abortion candidate is in office.

Disgusting immoral.

"I think it is an oversimplification to say there is an association between the abortion rate and the political party occupying the White House," said Dr. Daniel Grossman, a professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences at the University of California, San Francisco.

"Many of the policies that might affect the abortion rate vary at the state level. These include things like whether there has been an expansion of programs, including Medicaid, to provide contraception for people living on low incomes, or alternatively, policies that might make it more difficult for clinicians to provide abortion care."

The graphs cites CDC data, but health department reporting on abortions has fluctuated so much over the years that making broad comparisons can prove challenging. Not every state has reported its abortion data for every year.

Moreover, experts said tying the abortion rate to the occupant of the White House alone is an oversimplification of a variety of factors that are at play.

It's not disgusting at all to point out that education & birth control programs work over trying to force one's religious views on others. Biden's catholic faith has zero to do with what his actions re: abortion should be as president. Referring to "anti-choice" is just as offensive as calling the other side "pro-abortion," so we can certainly have a discussion about lowering the temp on that if you want, but I'm sure you don't.

Your link makes my point for me. When leadership doesn't restrict birth control and other programs, the rate of abortions actually drops. Guess which party ISN'T restricting those programs? Hint: it ain't repubs.
