In case you didn't know, the entire Republican Party is a sadistic joke.

Abortion rates go down when countries make it legal: report
Countries with stricter abortion laws have higher abortion rates


Abortion rates have fallen over the past 25 years, even as more countries have made the procedure legal and easier to get, according to a new report released Tuesday.

Countries with the most restrictive abortion laws also have the highest rates of abortion, the study by the Guttmacher Institute found. Easier access to birth control drives down abortion rates, the report also finds.

......................

"Abortions take place around the world, no matter the legal setting," the report reads. But, it adds, “Provision of abortion is safest where it has long been legal."

1. the name that best fits is (H) - the party of utter, total hypocrisy. We should use that here.

They are hypocrites in every conceivable way.

2. Truth be told they never really wanted to end abortions

It was an easy way to check the block on a large number of one issue voters. We’re with you!! without actually doing anything. They lost control of their own issue. New blood came in and wanted to DO SOMETHING (same as the crowd in Charlottesville) and they came up with some innovative ideas like using hospital access and zoning and building codes.

3. Ultimately, it's about controlling women..

controlling their sex lives, and ultimately their political power.

Have to keep the wimmen-folk barefoot, dumb, and pregnant, you know.

4. I agree.

But they thought they could just send/establish that message without really doing anything.

5. I know what you're saying...

It was always more advantageous for the Repubs to run on abortion than to actually "fix" the problem. Now, the patients are running the asylum.
