Increased health coverage decreases abortion rate

As abortion is once again an issue for debate in the current health care bill--does it or doesn't it allow funding of abortions? I'd argue that the more relevant and useful question is whether or not it reduces abortions. Science, data, statistics, facts--whatever you want to call them--answer in the affirmative.

So let's pass this bill and start bringing down the number and rate of abortions.

Please.

[Notwithstanding the fact that the bill very clearly doesn't include federal funding of abortion. Sigh ...]
