CV NEWS FEED // This Saturday is the one-year anniversary of Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the landmark Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, and reports show that in the last year, the number of abortions has decreased significantly across much of the United States.
Disney-owned polling website FiveThirtyEight stated that “there were 24,290 fewer legal abortions between July 2022 and March 2023, compared to a pre-Dobbs baseline.”
According to FiveThirtyEight, there were upticks in abortion rates in many blue states, including Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, and Oregon. Since Dobbs, these states have passed laws or ballot propositions protecting or expanding access to the abortion. Notably, FiveThirtyEight’s graphic shows that one of the states where the abortion rate increased the most since Dobbs was cherry-red Kansas – which has a Democratic governor and saw the defeat of the proposed pro-life “Value Them Both Amendment” in August 2022.
However, these increases “didn’t make up for decreases” in states which passed pro-life laws. As of June 20, 2023, abortion at various stages of pregnancy is illegal in 14 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
FiveThirtyEight laments that many women seeking abortions in these states either had to travel to blue states or allow their child to be born:
Texans making 4,000-mile round-trip journeys for abortions. Weeks-long waits for appointments at clinics across the Midwest. Desperate calls to abortion funds asking for help with procedure costs, flights and gas. One year after last summer’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, this is the new reality of abortion in the U.S., as thousands of people are unable to obtain abortions in their home states or nearby — and tens of thousands more.........

Amazing what happens when society punishes murder.
The new laws in some states make it a little less convenient to secure an abortion.
And, accordingly, a significant number of fertile couples are taking easy precautions instead of relying on abortion for birth control.
File this under good news.
Clot shots killed off so many others before they were born, and keep kilking off kids and adults, so they are happy even if they can’t make money butchering up the preborn.
A positive and effective form of behaviour modification.
That’s a good explanation and perhaps its happening. Perhaps too is that absent easy access, women have more time to reflect on the decision. Good news either way.
When my state legalized pot, people who wanted it had no problem finding the state line to come for it. Apparently abortion is just a matter of personal convenience. Sick.
Yep.
And prayer matters.
Bigg Red, you are correct: Prayer Matters.
There are many Godly people who prayed for DECADES, to end abortion.

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
Not for the state of Kansas. They’re all coming here now to kill their babies.
TOPEKA — Kansas had a record-breaking number of out-of-state patients receiving abortions in 2022, following a national rollback of reproductive rights.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment’s annual report shows the number of abortions provided out-of-state patients more than doubled in 2022 compared to 2021. Of last year’s abortions reported to KDHE, 8,475 were performed on women or girls residing outside Kansas. That is more than twice the 3,912 abortions Kansas provided out-of-state clients in 2021.
The influx in Kansas reflects reversal of Roe v. Wade in 2022 and action in Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas and other states to ban or further restrict abortion. Nebraska operates with a 12-week ban. In Kansas, the procedure is blocked at 22 weeks gestation.
Physicians in Kansas documented a total of 12,318 abortions in the state during 2022, according to the preliminary report. KDHE, which is responsible for publishing annual abortion summaries, said that represents a surge from 7,849 abortions in 2021.
Still waiting for the pics of dead bodies of all those women who were denied abortion and had to resort to using coat hangers to kill their babies.
The article didn’t mention that Florida also has a law limiting abortion, currently 15 weeks, and the new law reducing it to 6 weeks is in court.
