Oh look. Abortion rates increased during Bush's term. What a surprise.
What does this tell us? Economic policy and abortion are not separate issues; they form one moral imperative. Rhetoric is hollow, mere tinkling brass, without health care, health insurance, jobs, child care, and a living wage. Pro-life in deed, not merely in word, means we need policies that provide jobs and health insurance and support for prospective mothers.
More than that, I believe the Bible has injunctions to be charitable? Rich men and heaven and camels and needles?
I'm not anti-abortion. But I am against the things that make people feel forced into aborting.
Pro-choice. It's about choice.
