Abortions have steadily dropped over the years as affordable contraceptives have become more available. Guess where the rate of abortions goes back up? In places where contraception is restricted, unaffordable, or outright illegal.
Abortions for medical reasons will continue to be necessary, and the anti-choice position of "let the mother die rather than have a medically-necessary abortion" is one of the truly evil results of the Church's war on women's choice. Any church that takes that position and/or forces hospitals they own to follow such a policy is guilty of murder and firmly in the hands of Satan, not God.
Stop trying to tie women's hands to choose when they want children, and abortions will decline, because women who don't want children for whatever reason will use contraception, and women who want children won't. Women who don't get pregnant in the first place don't have abortions.
