The meme is a sarcastic commentary on the state of abortion laws in the United States. It presents a hypothetical scenario where a state offers free abortions to teenagers, but instead of reducing the abortion rate, it actually increases it. The text reads: "In 2009, Colorado began offering free abortions to teens. Within 8 years, teen abortions dropped 54%. Teen birth rates fell by 67%. For every $1 spent on the program, the state saved $5.85 in costs associated with the babies."

ry Ally Maynard @ @missmayn In 2009, Colorado began offering teens free IUDs without parental consent. Within 8 years teen pregnancies dropped 54%. Teen abortion rates fell by 64%. For every $1 spent on the program the state saved $5.85 in labor and delivery costs, child-care assistance and food stamps. There is a reasonable and logical way to lower abortions. 97,940 notes > O 2 OY
