ITT: Correlation equals causation
Is that such a bad thing? My take-away from that graphic is that increasing numbers of abortions directly decreases the need for preventative medicines! That's pretty amazing--overall quality of life is improving, apparently! :p
I took that whoever made this doesn't know how to do graphs since it represents that the amount of one has switched to the other but they are still doing over 600,000 more screenings than abortions. So the red line should be much more flat and the pink line a little under 3x higher than it.
Edit: like I mean comeon, you can just stick this ***in MS excel and it will do it fore you. These anit abortion people need to git good.
That's not what the chart was created to portray.
Yes, the red line needs to be a little flatter, and the pink line needs to be more steep, but, as you or CJ didn't notice on the X axis, there is no vertical label to signify lines.
Therefor, the graph is sound still. It's to portray that the number of abortions have increased while the number of "other services" have decreased in the same timeframe.
But on this note, let's keep the anti-abortion subject to P&R please. Although, we are mainly talking about the graph at large, this could change to a political debate.
