is in the ash heap of history, and more than a dozen states have outlawed elective abortion. Yet, abortions are on the rise.in the 12 months following the June 2022 Supreme Court decision than they did in the previous 12, according to adid not end abortion in the United States. However, it also serves as an important reminder that there is more to reducing the number of abortions than banning abortion.in more live births in the second half of 2022, they are not the only component.
While some religious pro-lifers may oppose such measures, it's worth noting that no one would force people to use contraception. As a Catholic who personally believes contraception is sinful, I understand that others do not, nor do they wait until marriage to have sexual intercourse. Increasing contraception access will not create a mentality in which people view abortion as a backup form of birth control; that already exists, hence why abortion is known as “Plan C.” We should follow the evidence. It shows contraception works.
Also, given that finances sometimes factor into a woman’s decision to abort a pregnancy, pro-natal policies could help reduce abortion rates.Plus, the pro-life side needs to reach young women to make them less supportive of abortion. When the Supreme Court overturnedmore supportive of abortion access following sharp backlash against the decision from the media, entertainment industry, corporations, special interest groups, and politicians.
Not to mention, a more holistic pro-life approach would allow the pro-life movement to make more progress in abortion reduction in blue states where the chances of enacting abortion restrictions are nonexistent.The country’s rising abortion rate is a problem that warrants a pragmatic approach to save as many lives as possible.
