The Huffington Post <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/stories\/2016\/03\/16\/actress-sophia-bush-wants-to-move-on-from-abortion-to-topics-that-actually-matter\/\">interviewed<\/a> Chicago PD star Sophia Bush, who had some sage words for pro-lifers: <em>just, like, give it a rest already<\/em>\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I feel like if they can keep us talking about, you know, a woman\u2019s place, a woman\u2019s reproductive rights and all of these things that are \u2018hot-button\u2019 issues because they make people emotional [\u2026]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hold on. When exactly was the last time you heard anyone lecturing anyone else about \u201ca woman\u2019s place\u201d (i.e., in the home or the kitchen)? This is one of those straw-men that persist simply because pro-aborts endlessly wail about abortion laws being a tool to keep women down, despite there being no actual evidence for it. Hint: if women <a href=\"\/news\/pro-aborts-love-women-so-much-they-pretend-not-to-see-them-when-theyre-pro-life\/\">manage so many pro-life organizations<\/a>, and pro-lifers love pro-life <a href=\"\/news\/rep-diane-black-actress-amy-brenneman-tell-full-story-on-abortion\/\">elected officials like Diane Black<\/a> and <a href=\"\/news\/why-planned-parenthood-is-terrified-of-carly-fiorina\/\">businesswomen like Carly Fiorina<\/a>, those are probably pretty good signs that pro-lifers don\u2019t have a problem with women being independent or having jobs.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">[\u2026] they can actually just, you know, defer us, and then we\u2019re not having the conversations we need to have about what our policy looks like, about what our financial situation looks like, about our education system, about our health care, about all of these things that actually matter in this country.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThings that actually matter.\u201d Unlike, y\u2019know, children\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n<p>The most immediate offense in these words is of course the dismissal of abortion\u2019s victims.

Economist John Lott has <a href=\"http:\/\/freedomnomics.blogspot.com\/2006\/08\/new-research-that-abortion-increases.html\">demonstrated<\/a> that legalizing abortion likely led to an increase in violent crime. <em>Forbes<\/em> contributor Bill Flax <a href=\"http:\/\/www.realclearreligion.org\/articles\/2011\/12\/01\/even_libertarians_should_be_pro-life_106382.html\">shows<\/a> that abortion has increased out-of-wedlock births.
