#2 Vot for a leftist, get what you ask for.

What did they think he was offering?
Leftists all get elected the same way.
Promising free shit to the poor.

#4 The dropping Mexican birth rate should drop more quickly now, between the babies who didn't get to be born alive and the women made sterile by poorly done procedures. But Mexican hoteliers should wax rich on the women who come to Mexico City from all over the country.

#5 The real test will be if younger, rich Mexican women still come up for "shopping trips". They're not going to let themselves get butchered, no way, no how.

#6 No guarantees here in the US either - US Abortion clinics tend to be the least regulated medical practices in the country. Sterility is not observed, the abortionist has no emergency equipment on hand (not required by law for fear in preventing an abortionist from working due to farcing them to observe things normal medical practices demand), has no practice privileges at nearby hospitals if complications develop, etc.

Couple that with the fact the fewer and fewer US medical personnel (nurses, med techs, and doctors) are willing to participate, support and perform those procedures (elective abortions), abortion is becoming less and less viable in the US - and the abortion industry is dodging questions about the safety and so on of their practices.

As for Mexico - the Catholics down there have just gotten started. Some politicians are due for an ousting.

#7 One other thing to think about: how many pro-life medical people convert to pro-abortion? Few if any. How many covert the other way? Many well documented cases. Know why? keep reading if you have the stomach for it.

The most common 1st trimester procedure is suction and curettage. I've seen one, and that, more than anything, turned me completely Pro Life, long before I converted to Christianity and Catholicism.

Something about seeing a fetus's arms and legs ripped off and sucked out, and little hands and feet smaller than a pencil eraser floating in a bloody "collection jar" that turns people against the procedure. And yes it is that sickening, and its done millions of times a year for the convenience of the 'mother'. Don't like the description? Too bad - thats what you support when you support "choice". Be aware of what you support - those on the left deny it, just like they deny the bloodbath they causes in Cambodian and Vietnam, and the coming one they will cause in Iraq.

Anyway, just those numbers alone suggest the marketplace may solve what the lawmakers refuse to and what the courts usurped.
