Steven Waldman and David Gibson list a bunch of data from a group called Third Way that attempts to prove that lifting the so-called gag rule, which would allow U.S. dollars to go to clinics in developing countries that perform abortions (among a range of health care services), would actually reduce the number of abortions. The data makes a fascinating and complex argument.
Gibson asks, “Will any of this satisfy pro-lifers?” He answers: “Probably not.”
Well, it satisfies this pro-lifer. And I hope others will read closely, and consider carefully. These same facts relate to domestic policies, too–if we’re serious about caring for the unborn, then we also have to be serious about caring for women.
