What makes economic sense?
 

I believe the Regulations for Licensure of Abortion Facilities should be denied.   True, these types of regulations will make women have to think about their decision longer and harder.  But the fact of the matter is that these types of bills are heading us in the direction that is simply backwards.

Women will have abortions regardless of how difficult you make it for them, Virginia, out of desperation.  It will cost us taxpayers even more money to care of them and/or their unwanted children.  I know that sounds callous but it’s the truth.  Studies have shown that since the Roe v Wade case, crime has decreased.  Interesting correlation, don’t you think?  

These regulations are a backwards approach to dealing with unwanted pregnancies anyway.  Shouldn’t we be focusing on how we can prevent unwanted pregnancies? .
