Perhaps if the rest of the population availed themselves of free long term birth control we would have a significant reduction in teen pregnancies and abortions. Long term birth control requires a doctors services and costs to put in place, so is not necessarily cheap or available everywhere.

Free (or basically free) contraception has been available for almost half a century.

What has happened in that time is as follows:

- Out-of-wedlock pregnancy rates have skyrocketed.

- Divorce rates have skyrocketed.

- Teen pregnancy has skyrocketed.

- The birthrate has dropped to levels that have severely compromised America's fiscal well-being and national security. (Social Security and Medicare would both be fine if birth rates had remained as they were prior to the 1960s and there would be no need for illegal immigrants.)

- More than 53 MILLION INNOCENT AMERICANS HAVE BEEN MURDERED IN THE WOMB.

The dream that YOU and the left have of free contraception and the eugenics-based "utopia" you believe in have all but destroyed America. With the exception of terrorism, EVERY problem America has today is rooted in the moral collapse of the past several decades and birth control has been at the center of all of it.

Let’s see, teen pregnancies have skyrocketed, out-of-wedlock pregnancies have skyrocketed, but the drop in birth rate has severely compromised our fiscal well-being. I would sure hate to head for the moon on that rocket. Meanwhile, thank you teen agers and unwed mothers for working so hard to save our fiscal well-being. Shame on all you responsible users of birth control.

some birth control causes abortions (the pill, Coated IUD’s and the morning after pill), which means the egg is fertilized, a human is made and the blast can’t attach to the uterus once it leaves the fallopian tube. I would say this is cause for concern.

Unfortunately, my original post didn't compensate for any comprehension or logic deficiencies on the part of the reader.

The FACT that the rate of teen and our-of-wedlock pregnancies has skyrocketed DOES NOT contradict the FACT that the overall birth rate had dropped to unsustainable levels.

We only need to look at the rate of live births to see that contraception (including infanticide) has pushed birth rates to dangerously low levels. Economic growth requires normal population growth, you and the other eugenicists have put that at risk.

There are approximately 4 million live births per year in the United States and just over 1.3 million abortions. As far as Big Murder and people like you are concerned, this constitutes "responsible" use of birth control. Twenty-five percent of pregnancies in America end in murder, that coupled with other forms of contraception is what has pushed down the birth rate.

Meanwhile, thank you teen agers and unwed mothers for working so hard to save our fiscal well-being. Shame on all you responsible users of birth control.

No, shame on YOU and people like you for promoting the murder of over 53 MILLION INNOCENT AMERICANS. An American baby is murdered EVERY 24 SECONDS.

Please stop confusing support for birth control with support for abortion, or is it your propaganda mode?
