"Let's take the top five states in teen births (from RW's post) and see what their abortion rates are:"

Yawn. Doing the same thing harris does. Only taking part of the data.

And, even then, ignoring the point being made. The abortion rate in those states with high teenage pregnancies is not low. In fact, most of the states with low teenage pregnancy rates have also low abortion rates. Steve's claim is patently false. And that is ignoring the fact that even teenagers with abortions are still included in the pregnancy statistics.

But, you'd rather dance and sing and play pretend.

Like you always do.

Because here are some more facts. There has been a decline in abortion rates in many of the high teenaged pregnancy states over the past year. It correlates well with increasing restrictions being placed on teen access to abortion services. There is no data suggesting that there is any other factor, despite the claims being made.

Like yours.
