It isn't even a matter of using abortion as the primary method of birth control. Almost 50% of the women who get abortions were using birth control at the time they got pregnant. Everybody in "the industry" knows this --- increased birth control especiall for the young and unmarried, increases the abortion rate --- but nobody talks about it.

Let's think about the useless, triflin' men, too. "Pregnant? Whatever. That's her problem, not mine."

Almost 50% of the women who get abortions were using birth control at the time they got pregnant.

I have a feeling that number is high. Because there *is* a stigma attached to abortion, women will claim they were using birth control when they really weren't.

I remember a PP representative coming to my high school (back in the 70s) to give a "birth control" lesson to my biology class. She presented the rhythm method as a birth control method, and lied about signs of ovulation, telling us that it was "safe" to have sex at the time of highest fertility. She piled on the pro-abortion propaganda pretty thickly... Modern PP hasn't changed its tactics.
