A link below goes to a site with two charts on it.
One shows which nations around the world have better child life expectancy outcomes.
The other one shows the child life expectancy outcomes by states in the US.
Funny, but more anti-choice US has worse life expectancy for children under five than equally affluent more pro-choice European states, and affluent Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It wouldn't be fair to compare with less affluent nations like those in Eastern Europe, but among peer nations, the US isn't looking so good.
Also, between the US states, pro-choice states tend to have lower child mortality rates.
So it's hard not to think that so called pro-life attitudes aren't very good for the children that people want.
Weird, huh?
Not really. Because where choice is inhibited, families, even single women don't get the choice to say no to a child they can't properly take care of. Care for the whole family degrades, so even planned children are harmed as the members all become a slave to the "every sperm is sacred" attitude. (There are even bills passing GOP legislatures in states that will ban most effective types of birth control.)
