The Obama administration reportedly has decided to halt the publication of abortion statistics that have been released annually for over 40 years by the Centers for Disease Control.
One theory suggests that they don’t want the public to see the effect of Obamacare’s abortion funding on the abortion rate. That could be, but I suspect the explanation is simpler: Opacity is simply this administration’s default policy unless the release of information is either beneficial to their cause or unavoidable, which abortion statistics certainly are not.
UPDATE: The CDC has announced that it will release the statistics. Whether it intended to do so all along isn’t clear; the CDC press office at least said they did not.
