I was very pleased to hear his remarks on abortion:
"There are fewer abortions in America than at any point in the last three decades," President Bush said. "These gains are evidence of a quiet transformation -- a revolution of conscience, in which a rising generation is finding that a life of personal responsibility is a life of fulfillment." (Source)
And, he's right. I looked up this on Life News and found abortions falling extremely sharply. Look at Michigan. Abortions in Michigan have decreased 11 percent in 2005 and, since 1987, they have fallen by 46.5%. Pro-life legislation works!
Washington's abortions are at the lowest numbers that have been recorded there, and Wisconsin abortions are under 1974 levels.
Furthermore, "Last year abortions dropped 7 percent in Tennessee and reached their lowest levels since 1977. Abortions in Georgia dropped 5 percent last year, and Minnesota's abortion numbers are down to their lowest since 1975. " (Source)
Let's lower abortions to the lowest level yet. Let's push for the reversal of Roe v. Wade and the protection of all the unborn. If you haven't yet please sign the petition against Planned Parenthood, the number one abortion provider.
Stand up for life! (For information on the pro-life cause see this link) For President Bush's complete speech, please see the GOP site.

More time and factual reporting are needed before we can say that the number of abortions has gone down. It could be that only the number of SURGICAL abortions has gone down considerably. There may be a hidden fact that the number of CHEMICAL abortions (via RU-486) has arisen greatly. The total of both surgical and chemical may be even GREATER than the old average surgical total per year (about 1,500,000). I hope not, but it is possible.
The abotion pills are a real danger. It's easy to ralley people against partial birth abortion, its hard to get them to object to a little pill. Still this is good news from the President.
