A Lie Gets Halfway Around The World

Lake
Forest, CA (LifeNews.com) -- During the presidential forum on
Saturday night, pro-abortion presidential candidate Barack Obama repeated
the erroneous claim that abortions have not declined under President
Bush. The idea behind is the claim is to make it appear that pro-life
policies don't reduce abortions.
Yet
that claim doesn't square with the latest national abortion numbers
put forward by the Alan Guttmacher Institute, a research firm associated
with Planned Parenthood, the abortion business that has endorsed Obama.
"The claim is repeated by supporters of abortion rights as evidence
that Bush's anti-abortion policies have backfired, or at least been
ineffective," it added. "But the claim is untrue. In fact,
according to the respected Alan Guttmacher Institute, a 20-year decline
in abortion rates continued after Bush took office."
