Recently, there was a report detailing how the abortion rate under President Obama is at its lowest level in three decades. By itself, that is very impressive. But when you look at the rate of decline under both Democratic and Republican presidents, you have no choice but to come to the following conclusion – Republicans just talk the talk. It takes a Democrat to actually deliver.
This chart shows the rate of decline in abortions since the Reagan administration. Republicans would come with their dumb talking points about Mr. Obama, and if you listen or believe them, they would even tell you that the President’s wish is for the entire country to head to the clinic tomorrow and abort… something. But when you’re dealing with facts, there’s no argument.
Notice the rate of decline under both Reagan and Bush Sr. There was hardly any decline at -0.01%. Then there was a huge drop under Clinton at -16%. Bush W saw a moderate -8% in his eight years, and in the five years of the Obama administration, there is already a -14% decline. Combined, for the 18 years Republicans had the White House, there was a measly 8.01% reduction in Abortions. For the Democrats on the other hand, there is already a 30% decline, in only 13 years!
