Access to abortion has been shrinking despite the fact that it's still legal. I want to hear a good explanation of why the decline in the abortion rate accelerated during the Clinton years over the Reaganbush years. I suspect it's financing and the shrinking number of providers - about which Clinton has done nothing. So despite the rhetorical differences, access to abortion has been dwindling, and I think the differences between the two parties is exaggerated to scare women into voting for Gore.
