I mean, no one would ever just do it solely as a means of birth control, would they?

Because abortion apostles regularly and shamelessly prevaricate, it's helpful to be armed with facts:

Of the reasons given for the 14,450 reported abortions performed in Minnesota in 2000,
**2,378 of the women reported "economic reasons"
**5,608 of the women reported "does not want children at this time"
**754 of the women reported "desire to finish high school and/or college"
**Less than 1 percent of the women reported that the pregnancy was a result of rape or incest.
Additionally,
**6,000 women reported they'd had at least one previous abortion
**928 had had 3 or more previous abortions
**21 had had 9 or more previous abortions

2378 + 5604 + 754 = 8740
14450 - 8740 = 5710

Is there any indication of the "reason" for that remaining 5710 abortions? Inquiring minds...
