Holy crap. That means in the eight years GWB jacked around with "abstinence only" bull, there were millions of abortions that could have been prevented.
NEW YORK -- Publicly funded family planning prevents nearly 2 million unintended pregnancies and more than 800,000 abortions in the United States each year, according to new research intended to counter conservative objections to expanding the program.
The data is in a report being released today by the Guttmacher Institute, a think tank whose research is generally respected even by activists who don't share its advocacy of abortion rights.
Report co-author Rachel Benson Gold called the family planning program "smart government at its best," asserting that every dollar spent on it saves taxpayers $4.
