Obamacare — The Greatest Pro-Life Victory Ever

[Playinghardball]

A new report finds that between 2008 and 2011, the abortion rate hit its lowest point since 1973, when Roe v. Wade declared access to the procedure a Constitutional right.

The rate fell 13 percent to 16.9 per 1,000 women in 2011, down from its peak of 29.3 per 1,000 in 1981.

While conservatives want to claim credit for the decline with onerous restrictions on a woman’s right to choose, the availability of contraception and family planning deserve most of the credit, according to the Guttmacher Institute’s Rachel Jones, the lead author of the study.

1. You'd think

the religious fundamentalists would be lining up to hug the man in the oval office now, but nope. They'll still hate him. Just like those CEOs who have seen record profits during his presidency. Many of them, for some reason, have still spent tons of dollars to thwart his agenda.

2. For the fundamentalcases, every sperm is sacred,

and every woman is a repository for it. They're not really pro-life. They're pro-impregnation.

That's why they oppose contraception, I think.

3. Nah.

They're instead going to tout the bullshit they've been pulling at the state level instead.
