by Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream:
For those that love America, these are very trying times. We have watched our beloved country go steadily downhill for decades, and in recent years that process has greatly accelerated. Now we have reached a point where our entire culture is absolutely saturated with evil, and large media corporations make billions of dollars exporting that culture to the rest of the world. In the end, we will truly reap what we have sown. If our nation had chosen to reverse course, things could have worked out much differently. But that has not happened. Yes, there are individuals and small groups that have chosen to change direction, but the nation as a whole just continues to run the wrong direction as fast as it possibly can. In this article, I am going to share some numbers with you that are just staggering. We have been given opportunity after opportunity to choose a different direction, and we just keep making the wrong choices. At some point we will be out of opportunities. In fact, could it be possible that America has already run out of time?

In June 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
That was an opportunity for our nation to go in a new direction.
But that wasn’t what happened.
Instead, the number of abortions during the 12 months immediately after Roe v. Wade was overturned was actually higher than the number of abortions during the 12 months immediately preceding that ruling.
And now a new report from the Guttmacher Institute is telling us that the abortion rate in 2023 was the highest that it has been since 2014…
Abortions have reached their highest level in 10 years, despite bans on the procedure in more than a dozen states.
A report released Tuesday by reproductive health firm Guttmacher Institute showed that there were 1 million abortions in the US in 2023, the equivalent of 16 per every 1,000 women.
That was up 10 percent from the 14.4 per 1,000 in 2020 and the highest since 2014, when the rate was 14.6 per 1,000.
As for the total number of abortions, we haven’t seen a million in a single year since 2012.
Today, most abortions are done by taking pills.
That same Guttmacher Institute report says that a whopping 63 percent of all U.S. abortions were conducted in this manner last year…
The report also found that 63 percent of abortions performed in 2023 were from medications, such as the two-pill regimen of mifepristone and misoprotol. In 2000, no abortions were done with this method.
It has become easier and easier for women in the United States to get these pills.
In fact, it is being reported that “abortion pill mifepristone hit the shelves at CVS and Walgreens for the first time this month”.
So the number of abortions performed by taking pills is expected to go even higher during the years ahead.
Of course many of the celebrities that our young people follow militantly promote “reproductive freedom”. For example, Plan B pills and condoms were given out for free at Olivia Rodrigo’s recent concert in St. Louis…
The Missouri Abortion Fund distributed the morning-after pill and condoms to concertgoers during Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS tour Tuesday night in St. Louis. It was part of the pop star’s Fund 4 Good initiative focused on “building an equitable and just future for all women, girls, and people seeking reproductive health freedom.”
Rodrigo, 21, has not been shy about her support for reproductive rights throughout her career. Fund 4 Good, launched in conjunction with the GUTS tour in February, has announced Rodrigo’s commitment to partnering with local chapters of the National Network of Abortion Funds throughout the tour and is ensuring that a percentage of proceeds will go to reproductive rights organizations.
“It’s brutal out here in Missouri, but we are here for abortion access,” the abortion fund tweeted following the concert.
Whether you like it or not, this is our society now.
Meanwhile, the proportion of the population that identifies as LGBTQ+ just continues to grow.
