Though any information that comes from the Guttmacher Institute (the propaganda arm of Planned Parenthood) should be taken with a grain of salt, we are encouraged to consider that the abortion rate might be dropping. While liberals will predictably call for more “comprehensive” sex education and free birth control, the real answer to continuing to decrease the abortion rate is more responsible sex education (especially abstinence education), cultivating a culture of life, and providing viable alternatives to pregnant women who do not wish to be mothers (like Rep. Michelle Bachman’s new bill).
Despite the apparent progress in protecting unborn lives, we as a nation must continue to fight abortion in the public policy realm because the abortion issue is fundamentally a justice issue. It is inherently unjust that an entire category of people (the unborn) can be deprived of their fundamental right to life, and we must continue the pro-life battle to make our country a more just nation.
