Bowen: Abortions decreased Thanks To People Praying During Intercourse

[Jim Dandy]

The executive director of Iowa Right to Life insisted this week that a dramatic drop in abortions in the state was unrelated to the use of birth control because contraception had a “huge failure rate.” Figures released this month by the Iowa Department of Public Health showed that abortions in Iowa had dropped 40 percent since 2007.

At the same time, birth rates in the state have remained steady, suggesting that the drop was not linked to women choosing to carry their pregnancies to term instead of having abortions. Planned Parenthood spokesperson Penny Dickey told KCCI that abortions began dropping at the same time that more women began using long-term contraception, such as IUDs and hormone implants.

But Jennifer Bowen, the executive director for Iowa Right to Life, asserted to KCCI that abortions were becoming rarer because of an increase in the number and intensity of people’s prayers to not get pregnant, as well as that “Iowans have finally started getting in touch with the man upstairs.”

“Hawkeyes are a strange breed, and proof of that is the fact that as soon as they started praying more frequently and vigorously, the man upstairs started listening,” Bowen asserted. “To be quite honest, I could not be happier right now, because I have been trying to get people to have more faith in religion for ages, and finally it’s working.”

[JHan]

[Leith]

14. That Was the First Thing I Thought of

Bowen probably knows very little about that.

Hell, I'm an atheist and I use that expression.

2. FFS!

17. You win at DU for the day! n/t

[MineralMan]

4. Hmm...people who rely on prayer as contraception:

They're called "Parents." Because:

"Jesus loves the little children. All the little children of the world."

[milestogo]

5. So yelling or moaning 'oh god' is a form of prayer?

[JHan]

6. I'd laugh if it wasn't the Trump administration in office.

They want to give these nutters greater access to influence politics.

7. This is satire and should be noted in your OP

9. OK. 'the man upstairs." LOLOLOLO

Let's see now----.........u,,mmmmmmmmmm// ok if you live in the USA, we will call 'him' the man upstairs, just for discussion.
But, what if you live in...Algeria, IS it then 'the man upstairs and to the right?"

If you live in....Chile is it, 'the man around the corner?"

If you live in Hokkaido, is it "the man downstairs?"

Bucky Fuller had it right...

not satire....

The made-up part will not be highlighted.

Sorry, OP.

13. Unreal

Correlation does not mean causation. They can pray all they want, good for them. But birth control and access to birth control is extremely important. To say hawkeyes are a strange breed is an enormous understatement.

[NCjack]

19. So, its satire. Picking "Iowa" really sold it. nt

[Iggo]

20. That ain't prayin'.

[HAB911]

21. For sure there were no conceptions taking place

no friggin' wonder

[malaise]

22. Jebus Effin' Krist has she mistaken shouts of oh god for intersessions with some god

to prevent pregnancy. These fucking people are beyond crazy.
