→Disappearance of abortion in Poland: A close reading of both of your links tends to reinforce my point.
: Abortion is highly correlated with communism, and communist attitudes. Abortion in the communist Soviet Union occurred at a rate many times that of the West, I think. So I'm not prepared to deny the connection. Conversely, abortion occurs at higher rates than in Poland in other nations where it is illegal, such as South America.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 19:17, 30 December 2010 (EST)

: A close reading of both of your links tends to reinforce my point. The first link (the BBC) notes that the Polish people associate the practice of abortion with the disliked and discredited communist Soviet Union. The second link (the NIH article) notes that the cost of abortion in Poland is a big factor. Government subsidies of abortion may matter more than the law, and presumably the communist government subsidized abortion heavily.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 19:22, 30 December 2010 (EST)
