Number of Abortions Increased 1500% After Legalization
Dr. Bernard Nathanson, cofounder of NARAL, explained how his organization helped make abortion legal:
“We aroused enough sympathy to sell our program of permissive abortion by fabricating the number of illegal abortions done annually in the US. The actual figure was approaching 100,000 but the figure we gave to the media repeatedly was 1 million. Repeating the big lie often enough convinces the public…
baby at 12 weeks, still within the time most abortions are performed
In fact, of course, abortion is now being used as a primary method of birth control US and the annual number of abortions has increased by 1500% since legalization.”
