What reduces abortions?

Free, accessible contraception.
That’s it.
Study after study tells us this.
Laws simple penalize women.
If you claim to be pro life and your mission is not free, accessible contraception you are a forced birther.
I dont remember where I read or heard this but "you don't have to attend every argument you're invited to" is some fine advice.

Ownership and accountability are the root of ethics, of constructive society, of all existence beyond bloody-clawed self-interest. If we want to fix America, we have to squarely face its legacy, and our role in it, first.

reminder in 2012 alone the total amount stolen in robberies of all kinds in the US––bank, residential, gas station, street––was only 36% that taken by corporate wage theft ($340M vs $933M). And that ONLY includes wage theft settled in court. Doesnt include that we dont know about https://t.co/uVvZk268K1

Roger Ebert once wrote that "Happy people are pleased by the happiness of others. The miserable are poisoned by envy." I think that's pretty accurate.
