Pre-Roe Abortions

Data Failure
Misreporting from the Guttmacher Institute.
By Ramesh Ponnuru

The Alan Guttmacher Institute, the research arm of Planned Parenthood, has done a lot of good and careful work over the years.
The report it is releasing today is not among that work. The new report attempts to put social science behind Planned Parenthood's agenda. It pretends that the latest studies all vindicate the view that parental-consent laws on abortion, for example, are "bad public policy." In addition, it claims that abortion almost never has any adverse effects on women and suggests that the only way to reduce abortion rates is to increase access to contraception.
