[Update December 2021 – We have recreated and added to the below list here: https://secularprolife.org/pregnancy-rates/] Pro-life laws decrease abortion in two ways. The direct and more obvious way is by decreasing the number of pregnant women who get abortions. A wide body of research (part 1, part 2) demonstrates that when abortion is restricted abortion […]
[Update December 2021 – We have recreated and added to the below list here: https://secularprolife.org/abortion-rates/] As a follow up to our previous post (Pro-life laws stop abortions. Here’s the evidence.) here in chronological order are more studies suggesting that abortion restrictions do decrease abortion—and not just legal abortion, but abortion in general. Note how many […]

The Washington Post suggests that it would be controversial for Mitt Romney to pick Condoleezza Rice as a VP candidate due to Rice’s “mildly pro-choice” views. Rice has previously stated she supports parental notification and is against late-term abortions (as are most Americans). However, regarding Roe v. Wade, Rice has said, “I have not wanted to see […]
