Hillary & Howard lie about Bush abortion stats
John Cusey of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus writes today:
Hillary Clinton and Howard Dean continue to promote the myth that the number of abortions has increased since President Bush was elected. Howard Dean said last weekend on Meet the Press, “You know that abortions have gone up 25% since George Bush was President?”, and yesterday Hillary Clinton said on CNN, “During the Clinton administration, abortions went down, and they’ve gone back up under the Bush administration….”
This myth was first promoted right before the last election, but seems to be getting new traction as pro-abortion politicians use it as a convenient excuse to continue defending aborting unborn children at any stage of development for any reason.
The problem is that the abortion industry’s own numbers contradict their claims, and this fact is explained in a recent analysis done by Annenberg Political Fact Check, which runs the site FactCheck.org. The piece is “Abortions rising under Bush? Not true. How that false claim came to be – and lives on.”

HITlery and the Democratic leadership have no choice but to promote myths and lies about abortion as they know the majority of Americans are turning away from the aboriton-on-demand culture their party has promoted. If they want to win future elections, they have to continually attack the Bush administration in every area in which they have been the losers and know this attack has to be relentless and use any falsehood or half-truth they can think of.
Re: Hillary Clinton and Howard Dean continue to promote the myth that the number of abortions has increased since President Bush was elected.
IF ABORTION IS SIMPLY THE REMOVAL OF A MASS OF TISSUE FROM THE WOMB OF A WOMAN AND NOT A BABY, WHY WOULD IT MATTER WHETHER THE NUMBER OF ABORTIONS HAS INCREASED OR NOT?
Yes, saying that one wants abortion to be “safe and rare” – and even comparing the number of abortions between one administration and another within the context that more are bad – are inferred admissions that there is something wrong with abortion.
