Abortion ranking by state
From Conservapedia - Reading time: 2 min
States have widely varying approaches and effectiveness in addressing abortion. Here is a ranking based on the increase or decrease in abortion rates from 2005 to 2008, the latest year for which information is available:
| State | Change in Abortion Rates 2005-2008 | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Wisconsin | Decrease in abortion by 13% | Improvement was then reflected in victories by Scott Walker, Ron Johnson and others in 2010 |
| Missouri | Decrease in abortion by 10% | Effective laws passed around 2005 when its legislature was the most effective in the nation; nearly half of Missouri residents seeking abortion now travel to Kansas or Illinois to have them |
| New Jersey | Decrease in abortion by 10% | Birthplace of Conservapedia. Enough said? |
| Minnesota | Decrease in abortion by 2% | Governor Tim Pawlenty was elected through efforts of pro-lifers, but then gutted the implementation of the Woman's Right to Know Act that took nine years to pass; Michele Bachmann's influence has probably helped most |
| Ohio | Decrease in abortion by 1% | Legislative pro-life gains, but little pro-life legislation |
| California | Up 2% over 3 years, but down 3% in the last recorded year | Influence of Hollywood and pro-abortion politicians |
| Oklahoma | Increase in abortion by 5% | Talk is cheap in Oklahoma: it claims to have the most pro-life legislature, yet abortions keep going up |
| Michigan | Increase in abortion by 5% from 2007 to 2008 | Ineffectiveness despite a large pro-life population |
| Arizona | Increase in abortion by 10% from 2007 to 2008 | Little meaningful legislative effort there despite a 2/3rds Republican majority in the legislature. |
| Tennessee | Increase in abortion by 10% | Has a political leadership that is pro-life only at election time |
| Georgia | Increase in abortion by 15% | Dominated by PLINOs - pro-life in name only. The 2011 legislature adjourned for the year without passing a single pro-life law |
| Texas | Increase in abortion by 25%[1] | |
| Pennsylvania | Increase in abortion by 23% | Has a pro-abort U.S. Senator who pretends to be pro-life |
