This counter intuitive finding comes out of a study by the Guttmacher Institute...

How is that counter intuitive? If countries supported(medically) and promoted birth control abortion rates would fall whether it was legal or illegal.

I just skimmed the article, but I didn't see a case made for abortion rates going down due to legalizing abortion. As we all know, correlation is not causation.

Abortion rates go down when the number of unwanted pregnancies goes down, which relates more to sex education and access to contraceptives, which is what the last half of the article addresses..

Since increased availability of birth control almost always comes with legalized abortion it only stands to reason. What I am amazed at are the number of "pro-life" believers that do not advocate for free and readily available birth control.

Precisely, provide good contraception advice and unplanned pregnancies reduce.

Come now. We both know the right's objection to abortion is about opposing feminism

I am on the left and opposed to casual abortion on principle, but even I can see that.
