You knew this, right?
In our abortion-friendly culture, “pro-life” information tends to be suppressed. A great column in the Post today about how abortion harms maternal and infant health:
Why has Poland made such strides in improving both maternal and infant health? Certainly not by spending a lot of money on “reproductive health services,” to use the preferred euphemism. Poland is a poor country, much poorer than either Canada or its immediate European neighbours. The money simply isn’t there for any lavish program to improve maternal and infant health. The only change that could have produced such a dramatic improvement is the documented decline in the induced abortion rate.
This is one of those difficult situations where telling the truth strikes people as lies, because we’ve all believed a lie for so long. That lie being that abortion helps and protects women.

Just noticed this: Another thoughtful letter on women’s health as it pertains to abortion abroad, this time, looking at El Salvador.

Those poor Polish people, with their lack of reprodctive health services. If they could only see that their apparently improving maternal and infant health will inhibit their long-term material and ideological health, they might come to see that abortion is the key to modern liberal prosperity.
Oh…sorry…I was just pondering how Iggy might respond to such a post.
