Ok, kinda off topic, but totally relevant.

The GOP debate in Iowa reveals the candidates have no grasp of reproductive health

Because I CAN’T SCREAM LOUD ENOUGH!

From your link:

FIfty percent of pregnancies in the United States are unintended and 40% of these end in abortion (it works out to 22% of pregnancies resulting in abortion). If candidates were serious about preventing abortion they wold talk about the data from 2006, which shows in that year publicly funded family planning services helped almost 2 million women avoid an unintended pregnancy by giving them access to affordable contraception, preventing 810,000 abortions.


So of course the ‘fiscally conservative’ response is to attack Planned Parenthood.
