The Right Way to Reduce Abortion

Both camps; pro-choice and anti-choice, can agree that with a rate of more than 1 million a year, reducing the annual number of abortions is certainly a necessary and attainable goal.

As I have said before, the way to reduce the current rates of abortion is quite simple; be a part of the solution, or be part of the problem.

In "The Right Way to Reduce Abortion" by Jessica Arons and Shira Saperstein at the Center for American Progress, they express this idea as well.

"Simply put, there are two key ways to reduce abortion – by making it less necessary or by making it less available. In our view, only the former approach is humane, effective, and just.

The entire article is worth a read...it should be copied and delivered to the doors of every person with decision-making capabilities that affect the lives of women.

"What is needed is leadership and commitment to a vision of society in which all women have the information and means necessary to prevent unintended pregnancies, to carry healthy pregnancies to term, to raise their children with safety, stability, and dignity, and, yes, to have safe abortions when necessary to lead healthy, productive, and fulfilling lives."
