The comments make depressing reading.

This article has been annoying me all morning.

  1. The ridiculous theories about why there's this (supposed - see below) increase in abortion which are not in the slightest bit based on fact.
  1. We don't know if abortion figures are really going up because what's more important to assess this is the ratio of abortions to full term births over a specific time period for the same demographic.
  1. If abortions ARE going up for any reason, it's as likely to be result of more women realising they have the choice over whether or not to carry a baby to term.

Alongside all the actual fact/fact checking issues with this article, the tone is horrendous. Very much suggesting that abortion is bad so the government's policies are bad because they cause abortion. It's so annoying.
