Slate's women's blog had a very melancholy approach to news that the rate of abortions is going down:
Emily,
I agree with your Clintonian sentiment re abortion (fewer = better),
but perhaps only in theory. The new report on the falling abortion rate
didn't provide a reason for the decline. Maybe I'm being cynical, but
could this have something to do with the dwindling number of clinics?
I
would say it has more of something to do with less women deciding to
terminate the life of their unborn child, which, to any morally sane
person, is a very good thing.
