FEWER ABORTIONS

A study led by Michael New, Univ. of Alabama Political Science Professor, reveals that while the abortion rate in the overall population fell 29% between '85 and '99, it fell almost 50% among minors. Parental involve-ment laws reduced the minor abortion rate by an average of 1.67 abortions per 1,000 female teens. (OneNewsNow 3/15/07)
