From The Meaning of 'Life', Sojourners Magazine/November 2008:
The abortion-reduction issue became a focal point at both of the national conventions this summer, with the parties moving in opposite directions. The Democrats, pushed by evangelicals, Catholics, and others, added abortion-reduction language to their platform: “We also recognize that ... health care and education help reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and thereby also reduce the need for abortions. The Democratic Party also strongly supports a woman’s decision to have a child by ensuring access to and availability of programs for pre- and post-natal health care, parenting skills, income support, and caring adoption programs.”
The Republican Party, on the other hand, took a step back from abortion-reduction language. As The Wall Street Journal put it, “For all their pro-life pieties, the Republicans at this year’s convention, while asserting their opposition to Roe, dropped platform language that invited ‘all persons of good will, whether across the political aisle or within our party, to work together to reduce the incidence of abortion.’”
The only people who need to work to reduce abortions are the women who are having them, the people who are encouraging them to have abortions, and the abortionists that are performing them.
If we need government programs to reduce abortions, then we also need government programs to reduce other wrongs that are taking place in the world such as adultery, fornication, theft, lying, etc.
