On Monday morning the Atlantic reported that the Texas pro-life group New Wave Feminists was granted partnership status for the march on Friday. "Intersectional feminism is the future of feminism and of this movement," Bob Bland, one of the event's co-chairs, told the Atlantic. "We must not just talk about feminism as one issue, like access to reproductive care."
NEW YORK (AP) — Even as the election outcome intensifies America's abortion debate, a comprehensive new survey finds the annual number of abortions in the U.S has dropped to well under 1 million, the lowest level since 1974.
The report, which counted 926,200 abortions in 2014, was released Tuesday by the Guttmacher Institute, a research group which supports abortion rights. It is the only entity which strives to count all abortions in the U.S.; the latest federal survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lacks data from California, Maryland and New Hampshire.
