Did You Know...

Nice Deb thinks the Chosen One was playing fast and loose with the facts during the Saddleback debate.

And by the way…abortions did not go up under George Bush’s Presidency. That’s an oft repeated lie that pro-aborts like to tell. I’d like to see where he’s getting his statistics, because every chart I can find shows a decrease in abortions during W’S watch.

But as Deb notes, even the pro-choice Guttmacher Institute acknowledges a decline in abortions under Bush’s presidency:

• In 2005, 1.21 million abortions were performed, down from 1.31 million in 2000. From 1973 through 2005, more than 45 million legal abortions occurred.[2]

Guttmacher cites a 2008 study in their own peer-reviewed journal, Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, for those figures. Here’s more stats (also unearthed by Nice Deb) that suggest Obama either lied, or just has no idea what he’s talking about.

He gets confused sometimes, you know:
