(1/19) @philvischer & @SkyeJethani, I saw your video that questions whether overturning Roe is the key to reducing abortion.
Glad you're interested in the data. Evidence from the past 40 yrs shows electing pro-life candidates has helped reduce the U.S. abortion rate by over 50%
(2/19) Overturning Roe is not an all or nothing proposition. Since 1973, Republican-appointed judges have not succeeded in overturning Roe v. Wade. However, Republican-appointed Supreme Court judges have upheld a variety of life-saving pro-life laws. These include:

-Public funding limits on abortion
-Parental involvement laws
-Informed consent laws
-Waiting periods
-Partial-birth abortion bans
Meanwhile, judges appointed by Democratic Presidents almost always vote to strike down these common-sense, life affirming, pro-life laws.
(4/19) My 2018 @LozierInstitue shows that there is a very good body of academic research which shows that these incremental pro-life laws reduce abortion rates and save lives.
(5/19) In your video, you never mention the Hyde Amendment, which prevents the federal government from funding elective abortions through the Medicaid program.
There is a body of research which shows that limits on taxpayer funding of abortion reduce abortion rates.
