Mike Her is Some More Republican,,XXXXXXXXXXXX

Republicans,,,just keep getting caught in their Lies.
Abortion rate peaked in 1981 under former President Reagan (though he had just taken office), and is at the lowest rate since 1973 as of 2011, under President Obama. The abortion rate had been falling until it “stalled” between 2005 and 2008, under former President Bush.

According to a new study by Guttmacher, the abortion rate fell by 13% under Obama. Declines were the steepest in the Midwest and West, and “less steep yet noteworthy” in the South and Northeast (emphasis mine):

The U.S. abortion rate declined to 16.9 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15-44 in 2011, well below the 1981 peak of 29.3 per 1,000 and the lowest since 1973 (16.3 per 1,000), according to “Abortion Incidence and Service Availability in the United States, 2011,” by Rachel Jones and Jenna Jerman. Between 2008 and 2011, the abortion rate fell 13%, resuming the long-term downward trend that had stalled between 2005 and 2008. (( BUSH PRESIDENCY )) The number of abortions (1.1 million in 2011) also declined by 13% in this time period.

Before conservatives can get all “Yea, restricting freedom is working!”, the study also suggests that this decline is not due to state level restrictions. “While the study did not specifically investigate reasons for the decline, the authors note that the study period (2008-2011) predates the major surge in state-level abortion restrictions that started during the 2011 legislative session, and that many provisions did not go into effect until late 2011 or even later.”

The drop was also not attributed to the loss of providers.

Furthermore, Republicans didn’t really get going on their war on women until 2010, when they began a full on assault courtesy of ALEC in many cases. Guttmacher notes that states enacted “205 abortion restrictions between 2011 and 2013, more than in the entire previous decade combined.” Looking at these statistics, one might ask why Republicans have been focusing on a non-problem that was getting better every year while ignoring the glaring lack of jobs due to the Bush recession.

What caused the drop in the abortion rate? As always, the number one factor that reduces the abortion rate is birth control, and that was a factor here, as well as the recession causing more people to plan to delay or avoid pregnancy.

“Rather, the decline in abortions coincided with a steep national drop in overall pregnancy and birth rates. Contraceptive use improved during this period, as more women and couples were using highly effective long-acting reversible contraceptive methods, such as the IUD. Moreover, the recent recession led many women and couples to want to avoid or delay pregnancy and childbearing.”

Ms. Jones also observed that the availability of medical abortion has led to a shift to early abortions, which also contrasts with the Republican version of reality under President Obama.

In November of 2012, the CDC released a study that showed that under Obama the abortion rate fell by 13% “The change from 2008 to 2009 represented the largest single year decrease in the total number and rate of reported abortions for the entire period from 2000 to 2009.

Yet Republicans (including former Speaker and GOP Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich) continue to call this President and Democrats “baby killers”, especially when they are fighting to make contraception something that insurance does NOT cover. This Republican argument makes no sense, and is only used to drum up the emotions of people who aren’t aware of the facts. The facts are that birth control and sex education are the two proven methods to reduce abortion. Democrats champion both, while Republicans obstruct and defund both.

The CDC study proved that the way to reduce abortion was to reduce unintended pregnancy (duh). The way to do this is with………..

contraception.

This is what happens when a party uses an emotional issue as a get out the vote tactic but does not really care about actually ending abortion at all. After all, even if they make abortion illegal it will still go on, it will just be unsafe and harm many women. Republicans don’t want the issue of abortion to go away, because it is one of the few ways they can get their evangelical base out to vote. They had better hope the base never catches on to the truth.

This also suggests that Democrats and Obama are not necessarily “pro abortion” as the Republicans like to charge. Quite the opposite. While they are pro freedom for women to make their own medical decisions, they also seek to help women avoid these tough decisions by making birth control accessible. If we want to deal in reality, it’s Republicans who are “pro abortion”, as their policies lead to more abortions, not less.

So here we have President Obama’s Culture of Life, which fits in nicely next to his badge for being fiscally responsible, getting Osama bin Laden, and getting the stock market to record levels.

Another clown post, just like obabbler said there will be no federal money used for abortion right clown. It still amazes me how you liberals are fooled by a lying sack of crap and only want to blame the other party because you have nothing postive to say about your lying hero.

Guess what clown you work in mines there is danger, if you work on high rises erecting steel there is air between you and the ground want to blame the right wing for that too. How much does the obabbling idiot charge you two clowns for your nose rings.

The more Muslims in our population the less percentage of abortions since their religion prohibits them from having any.

Muslims,,have A Much higher Regard for Women ,than,Hard core Republicans,,who don't want a Women to have an abortion for ANY REASON ,,AND SAY IF A WOMAN IS RAPED SHE CANNOT GET PREGNANT.

Threat to the woman's life
On the issue of the life of the woman, Muslims universally agree that her life takes precedence over the life of the fetus. This is because the woman is considered the "original source of life", while the fetus is only "potential" life.[5] Muslim jurists agree that abortion is allowed based on the principle that "the greater evil [the woman's death] should be warded off by the lesser evil [abortion]." In these cases the physician is considered a better judge than the scholar.

LMAO, YOU MUSLIM HACK.

[Newt]

PM, you sound like some of those lying politicians of both parties,who have been bought by Arabian oil.

There was a woman in Oklahoma whose head was cut off by a recently converted Muslim.
PM, when did you convert, and how much did they pay you. You keep mentioning that you are not subsidized by the government, that you are living off investments. Have you Bill and Barry invested heavily in middle east oil?

Did you notice that Barry has gotten tough in his press conference toward Islamic terrorists, two months prior to the election. Remember what he told Putin, "wait until after the election, then I will have more freedom to act".

Another surprise, two months prior to the election the economy took and unexpected jump.

After the election, the border will be wide open.
The economy will reflect the corrected numbers.
Isis will be defeated and the troops can come home or be routed to Africa to save us from Ebola.


Ed Schultz say Khorusan is a made up entity to justify military intervention

Obama doesn't want to admit that he was wrong on Al qada still being a threat so he is calling these guys by another name and saying they are affiliated with Al qada.



quote:
No matter where the name "Khorasan" came from, its easy to see why it could be a positive for U.S. officials to use it. For one thing, by avoiding using the name al-Qaeda, the U.S. doesn't remind the world that after more than a decade of the "War on Terror," al-Qaeda is still an operational force. It also allows the U.S. to avoid mention of strikes on Jabhat al-Nusra, the al-Qaeda group that enjoys a large amount of support in Syria and opposes both the Islamic State and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Finally, there's the simple fact that Khorasan is a new and evocative name. Frankly, it's something for the U.S. public to latch onto.

Is a woman still the "original source of life" when they strap a bomb to her? How about when they force her to cover her face and walk behind them. So now you are not only a bleeding heart liberal communist, but a muslim cleric and sympathizer. Stop lying, you are on the government dollar and addicted to pain killers that hinder the ability to carry out rational thought.
