This one being the story that Red States have higher rates of abortion:
What about Koppelman’s arguments about culture, contraception, and sex education? Well, once again the data clearly show that Koppleman is incorrect. Data obtained from the Alan Guttmacher Institute shows that the 31 states that were won by George W. Bush in the 2004 election had an average abortion rate of about 12 abortions per thousand women of childbearing age. The 19 states that John Kerry won had an average abortion rate of over 20. The results were similar when data from the Centers for Disease Control was used.
Furthermore, the five states where John McCain received the highest percentage of votes in 2008 had an average abortion rate of 6.9. The five states where Barack Obama received the highest percentage of votes in 2008 had an average abortion rate of 22.6. Overall, it seems clear that politically conservative states have, on average, lower abortion rates, than their more liberal counterparts.
One of the recent pro-abortion arguments is that pro-abortion policies lower abortion rates (I know: its stupid on its face, but work with me here – we’re dealing with liberal “thinking”). By pouring out money for contraception, sex education and such, liberals claim that people then have less recourse to abortion – and then some liberals cooked the statistical books until they got the answer they desired.
This is a common tactic on the left – making stuff up and then dressing it up as a study in order to advance a bit of leftist ideology. Global warming got on like this, too.
Slander is pretty much all they’ve got over on the left side of the aisle. Time has passed them by, the truth is against them…like all ruling classes losing power, they are fighting a desperate, rear-guard action against revolutionary change.
It won’t work – we’ll be kicking them out. Soon.
