Abortion through a different lens

from Jon

An interesting way to respond to pro-lifers. Abortion rates have gone up under George W. Bush. Why? The most common reason given for having an abortion is that the mother is unable to financially support the child. For poor women, economic downturns and lack of affordable health care make it hard to support children; hence, a higher abortion rate over the past four years.

From the cite linked in the headline:

Economic policy and abortion are not separate issues; they form one moral imperative. Rhetoric is hollow without health care, insurance, jobs, child care and a living wage. Pro-life in deed, not merely in word, means we need a president who will do something about jobs, health insurance and support for mothers.
