IMO the best solution to the abortion issue is just like almost any other issue. Abortion is a band-aid to a problem, not a solution.
You need to identify the problem, (too many unwanted pregnancy's) and find the solution. (Affordable contraception and education).
Since 1997 the federal government has invested more than $1.5 billion dollars in abstinence-only programs – proven ineffective programs which censor or exclude important information that could help young people protect their health. In fact, until recently, programs which met a strict abstinence-only definition were the only type of sex education eligible for federal funding; no funding existed for comprehensive sex education, which stresses abstinence but also provides information about contraception and condoms.
Federal Programs. So your state didn't get federal funds unless it was abstinence only. And we support the Dept of Education why?
