Creative Democrats in Congress have introduced legislation that appears, by its title, to be a pro-life measure, but in reality is nothing more than a bailout bill for abortion providers.

A former leader for one of the nation’s largest pro-abortion groups and a congressman who abandoned his pro-life views to such a large extent that a pro-life group kicked him off its advisory board are introducing a new bill that will be touted as pro-life legislation.

However, the Reducing the Need for Abortions Initiative, expected to be introduced in the House of Representatives this week, is a bailout for the abortion industry.

The bill provides additional funding for Planned Parenthood, a group that receives hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars and performs hundreds of thousands of abortions every year.

Pro-life advocates aren’t being duped, however.

Rep. James Oberstar, a Minnesota Democrat who is the co-chairman of the House Pro-Life Caucus and the kind of moderate lawmaker the measure is designed to appeal to, wouldn’t support it either.
…
[Rep. Tim] Ryan (an Ohio Democrat whom Democrats for Life of America recently kicked off its board) also told Copely at the time that he asked several major pro-life groups to join him in supporting the bill, but none would take the bait because of the money dedicated to Planned Parenthood.

It’s obvious on its face what the Democrats behind this bill are trying to accomplish. And it’s apparently not working at all, thank goodness.

So here’s my question: If abortion proponents actually think abortion is not the killing of an innocent human being, why spend so much time trying to “reduce the number of abortions” (or introducing bills that purport to do so)? If abortion is simply a “medical procedure” that allows women positive things like “reproductive freedom”, why try to reduce the quantity? You’re making it sound like a bad thing.
