According
to a recent analysis by the Pew Institute, since 2007 when there were a
record 4,316,233 births, the number of births has been steadily
declining, with 4,007,000 births in 2012 - the lowest number since 1998.

Crystal
Nguyen, a former Valley State Prison inmate who worked in the prison’s
infirmary in 2007, said she often overheard staff asking inmates who
were repeat offenders to agree to be sterilized.
“I was like, ‘Oh my God, that’s not right,’” she said during an interview with CIR. “Do they think they’re animals, and they don’t want them to breed anymore?” |

While
much of the national abortion debate has focused on late-term
abortions, pro-life forces are scoring major victories with new laws and
regulations that in effect would force many — if not all — abortion
clinics in a state to shut down.

The
Texas State House of Representatives had passed HB2, a bill that would
ban abortions after 20 weeks gestation, would add safety measures for
abortion pill distribution, and would require that abortionists maintain
hospital privileges within 30 miles of their clinics. The vote was
overwhelmingly in favor with 98 yea votes to only 49 nays.

This
is not to say everyone who is pro-choice lacks information. There are
people right now working in clinics whose job it is to count the body
parts and make sure there are no arms or fingers or heads left inside
women to cause infection. Gotta make sure they got it all! These people
certainly do not labor under any illusions about the baby being a “clump
of cells.”

Back
when Proposition 71 was being pitched–which created the California
Institute For Regenerative Medicine–opponents warned that making human
cloning a state constitutional right would result in the exploitation of
poor women for their eggs–needed in every attempt at SCNT cloning.
Responding, supporters promised to prohibit egg buying as an expedient
to pass the measure.
