The WaPo, which is a piece of crap newspaper whose Sunday readership declined by quite a bit last quarter due, inter alia, to the fact that they have a lying scumbucket for an "ombudsman", reports that -- big surprise -- under the Bush administration, rich women avoid unwanted pregnancies, while poor women increasingly do not.
Because governmental policies designed to do just that have been successful.
The article says: "The abortion rate also rose among poor women while declining among the more affluent.
'Clearly, something is changing, and it doesn't bode well in terms of unplanned pregnancies and abortions for poor women, in particular,' said Heather Boonstra, one of the authors of the report.
Asked what was driving the trends, the authors noted that some state and federal reproductive health programs have been cut or made more restrictive in recent years. State and federal programs have increasingly focused on abstinence rather than contraception, and some analysts have argued that the shift is leading to less use of contraceptives and more unintended pregnancies."
I hate these people.
Culture of Life, my smooth, round, peachy ass.

Why does the Washington Post feel that it needs to emulate the Washington Times? The WaTimes is losing money right and right and is being propped up by Moon's sushi supply company's profits.
Why would a company want to use an obviously failing company as its business model? There won't be wingnut welfare for the WaPo if it fails.
But anyhow, I read that article and it quotes that twit Leslee Unruh. Yes, she is a twit. And no, it's not an ad hominem attack when it's true.
