UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE tends to cut the abortion rate.

Increasing health-care coverage is one of the most powerful tools for reducing the number of abortions -- a fact proved by years of experience in other industrialized nations. All the other advanced, free-market democracies provide health-care coverage for everybody. And all of them have lower rates of abortion than does the United States.

Umm ... and all the other “advanced, free-market democracies” have aging populations with significantly declining fertility rates. Isn’t it just barely possible that older women having fewer pregnancies might affect abortion rates as well?
