text: "... the Affordable Care Act, which has played no small role in the reduction in the abortion rate to its lowest level in more than forty years."  
  
  And why is that?  In large part because the Affordable Care Act made sure forms of effective contraceptives were made widely available and affordable.  
  
  Are you ready to admit that now?  More, are you ready to admit that even Catholic universities, hospitals and other Catholic affiliated organizations that hire people for their job skills and not for their religious observance, should be required to cover contraceptives in health insurance?  The Little Sisters of the Poor should not be able to make up the minds of their employees regarding contraceptives but let the employees make up their own minds. 
  
  Making abortion illegal without making effective contraceptives available is just going to drive abortions into back alleys, where it was thriving prior to making abortions legal.  It is going to kill women.
