Abortion Trends Before and After Dobbs

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Imagine the impact if we properly directed our energy at the actual solution to the abortion problem.

It's all about pragmatism over the irrational. We have let the extremists dominate the narrative with the end result of tens of millions of preventable abortions.

I've said this for years. The Republican Party refused to drop that stupid abortion issue and it drove a lot of female voters to the Democrats .

Roe was judicial idiocy and had to be overturned, just like Plessey, Dred Scott, and Chevron.

We are now dealing with the process that should have happened during the 70's, 80's and 90's that were interrupted by Roe.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Since my arrival on this forum, I have said hundreds of times that I morally supported overturning Roe v. Wade. But I also said doing so would have no impact on the number of abortions in America.

Since the Dobbs decision, my prediction has been born out, no pun intended. In fact, the number of abortions has increased since the Dobbs decision. The pro-life movement won the battle, but has lost the war.

Perhaps this will finally, finally, finally bring the pro-life extremists to their senses and start supporting measures which will actually reduce the number of abortions. In other words, we need to focus on contraception education.

Half of all abortions are the result of no form of contraception being used during intercourse which led to the unwanted pregnancy.

Half.

Another fifth are the result of the improper or inconsistent use of birth control.

Abortion Trends Before and After Dobbs​

​

• In the three years since the Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, the total number of abortions nationally has slightly increased. The most recent data from the Society for Family Planning’s #WeCount project show that the average monthly abortion volume during the first half of 2025 was higher than the monthly average in 2024. From January to June 2025, there have been more than 590,000 abortions compared to 1.14 million abortions in all of 2024 and 1.06 million abortions in 2023. For most of the decade prior to the Dobbs ruling, there was a steady decline in abortion rates nationally, with a slight uptick in the years just before the ruling.

.

Americas birth rate declined 23% last year.

We aborted 1.2 million babies last year


……..

Let me be the first to congratulate you for being right. This is an anomaly for certain, and you deserve recognition for it.

We have spent 60 years with this. It would have been fixed if they wanted it to be.

Thank you for your admission the left were full of shit regarding the Dobbs decision.

Yet another Republican failure.

Further proof that bans don't work; complex issues can't be addressed with simplistic bans.

 

[BluesLegend]

But the Left said that overturning Roe would end all of our abortion rights

Democrats are BIG FAT LIARS. Lie afer lie afer lie in an uninterrupted stream of cesspool from their mouths. The sick bastards probably lie in their sleep, to warm up for the next day's lie telling.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

But the Left said that overturning Roe would end all of our abortion rights, which is why the Left tried to assassinate Justice Kavanaugh for helping to overturn it.

You mean they lied their arse off again?

The hell you say!

Overturning Roe was never about 'saving babies.'

It was about the authoritarian right's desire for more government at the expense of individual liberty..

Abortions, both clinical and medical are decreasing. This is great news. You can often change minds and hearts by simply restricting access. Drinking was indeed reduced during prohibition, contrary to popular belief. It didn’t fully revive until the 1950s. Abortion will be the same and is trending that way. The Dobbs decision was a great victory. Banning birth control should be next. See, when you ban an evil act, people begin to see that it’s evil. Whereas if society gives its blessing, people will believe it’s morally OK.

We also see a trend where church attendance is rising , especially among young people. This is related to Dobbs. These things work together. It also corresponds to Trump and MAGA. Things are improving, though the left wants you to believe the sky is falling.

Banning birth control should be next?

Hang on folks

The crazies are in control

 

[d0gbreath]

The RvW decision came down in 1973. No one ever mentions how commonplace abortions were prior to that decision. You might've had to travel to a state that allowed them, but that didn't seem to stop anyone from getting one.

……..

Fetuses were aborted, not babies and I had nothing to do with it. "we"?

Yeah, artificial birth control removes the sharing and procreative nature of the intimate act. Reduces it to a mechanical act where women are treated as sex objects. That's why the Catholic Church condemns it.

 

[Lockback]

Well, there's one thing we can always count on in America in the 21st Century and that's the sacred right to murder an unborn baby.
Why, it should have been written into the Constitution. I can't imagine how they missed that one.

That's your rebuttal? No wonder you guys lose all the debates.
