The article says that they've dropped mostly due to 1) more access to, and use of, birth control, and 2) in places where abortion is LEGAL. So the Republican's strategy of trying to make abortion illegal, as well as stopping the sending of birth control to third-world countries, is counterproductive on both counts.

And by the way, as a friend of mine used to say, 'pro-life' people are really only 'pro-birth', because they don't want to adopt, feed, house, or school kids afterwards, they just want them to be born.
