Great news from the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion think tank. (H/T John from Truth in Religion & Politics)
Excerpt:
In the first six months of 2011, states enacted 162 new provisions related to reproductive health and rights. Fully 49% of these new laws seek to restrict access to abortion services, a sharp increase from 2010, when 26% of new laws restricted abortion. The 80 abortion restrictions enacted this year are more than double the previous record of 34 abortion restrictions enacted in 2005—and more than triple the 23 enacted in 2010. All of these new provisions were enacted in just 19 states.
The post breaks down the pro-life measures by category:
- Counseling and waiting periods
- Gestational bans
- “Heartbeat” bill
- Banning abortion coverage in new insurance exchanges
- Medication abortion
- Cuts to abortion subsidies
All of these bills were supported by Republicans, and opposed by Democrats.
Elections have consequences. We elected a massive number of Republicans in 2010, and now we are seeing the results of that effort. I could not be more proud of the Republicans who voted in these measures to protect the unborn.
