Abstract

The article focuses on a decline in abortion rates in the United States. The Alan Guttmacher Institute has announced that one in three women was having an abortion, totaling to 1.3 million abortions per year—the lowest rate in 29 years. There has been an increase in pro-life policy proposals as well, with bills such as the Child Custody Protection Act and those calling for a ban on partial-birth abortions and human embryonic cloning on their way to being passed in the U.S. Senate. In response to these actions, Republicans are taking steps to regain reproductive freedom.
