Trump’s Evangelical Supporters Just Lost Their Best Excuse - The Atlantic

So voting for Donald Trump didn't mean you were voting for fewer abortions. Abortions declined by nearly 30 percent during Barack Obama's two terms, and by the end of his term, the abortion rate and ratio were below what they were in 1973, when Roe v. Wade was decided. 

But they went up again on Trump's watch. Public opposition to abortion is collapsing. 

Pro-life initiatives are being beaten even in very conservative states. The GOP has jettisoned its pro-life plank after having it in place for nearly a half century. And Trump himself is now saying he'd be great for "reproductive rights," a position that pro-lifers have long insisted is a moral abomination.
