And I could not confirm what you posted about abortions and the Clinton era.
The link I have here does not show either of the trends you stated.

I was basing my abortion numbers off of what I read from the Guttmacher Institute.



Here's a report from 2017:

U.S. Abortion Rate Falls To Lowest Level Since Roe v. Wade

I believe the most significant drop in abortions prior to this was like 1997, under President Bill Clinton. But that was some time ago. Most recent data I have is above.

I believe the NRA keeps statistics showing that gun violence has actually dropped in recent years, in spite of media coverage throwing it in our faces 24/7.

I don't have a lot of time to look. Just sharing some things I found interesting.
