Most are totally ignorant of the Pregnant Women's Support Act. The goal was to reduce the abortion rate by 95% in ten years. It contained legislation for the following:

The act was
defeated by... PRO-LIFE REPUBLICANS. Why? Because it was
drafted by DEMOCRATS.
You see... the Republicans want to make sure that the "butchering" continues so that they can manipulate people into voting for them every election on the single claim that they are "Pro-Life". Babies being "butchered" is good for Republicans... the more babies are being butchered... the more people will vote Republican, even if the Republican policies are against their own interests.
You see, what Anti-Abortion extremists tell you is that Democrats are "Pro-Choice". What they
don't tell you is... Democrats are constantly fighting to address the concerns and issues that women face when confronted with a crisis pregnancy and therewith reduce the abortion rate. It's a shell game. And since the Democrats are idealistic bleeding heart weenies... they come out looking like dolts every time. lol
Evidently... you can be Pro-Life and do nothing significant to reduce the abortion rate and people praise you... or you can be Pro-Choice and pull out the stops to reduce the abortion rate and people curse you. My friend, things are not what they seem. Even Pro-Choice Democrats want to reduce the abortion rate.
And all of you know that I'm right. But few have the guts to tell it like it is.
