Jonathan,
While the numbers may indicate that abortion has increased under Bush's administration, we must look at the moral climate of the 90's as well as the economic climate of the 90's. (We will ignore the fact that economic policy has a "lag" time from implementaqtion to effectiveness, and that an administration usually lives under the effects of the previous administration's economic policies.)
If women choose to kill their unborn babies simply because they "can't afford" to have one, then the "moral" climate of abortion on demand perpetuated during the nineties has only encouraged women to kill when they "can't afford" the child. Besides, it is easier (and saves face) to say "I could not afford a child"rather than to say "I did not want a baby so chose to kill my unborn child". For long-term effect, I'll support the position of changing the legal and moral climates regarding abortion. Then the economy will cease to be a convenient excuse for murder.
