Cutting Access Does NOT Equal Fewer Abortions

Why must I keep stating this?? It's simple logic: when women cannot access birth control, they will get pregnant and if they don't want to be, they will get an abortion. If we want to see the abortion rate go down, we must increase access to birth control! DUH!

When Texas cut funding for the majority of women's health clinics in 2011, what we saw was just that: in areas that had almost zero access to begin with, once they couldn't access anything, their abortion rates skyrocketed by 191%!!!!

Stop this ridiculousness...increase access, see lower abortion rates. Period. End of story.
