I’m confused by your post. What EXACTLY do you want the abortioniststo do to educate patients & reduce the number of abortions?

They can stop lying to their clients (NOT patients), for one thing. Instead of telling them that the baby is a mass of formless tissue (or whatever the exact lie they say), they can simply tell the truth. Why do you think there are efforts to force abortionists to show their clients the pre-abortion ultrasounds? Simply educating women would do a LOT to help to decrease the number of abortions. The number of women using abortion as their primary method of birth control would probably drop drastically.

I assume you are aware the majority of women seeking abortions were contracepting at the time they got pregnant? Contraception is a lie, so don’t even try to run that jive by me.

I understand very well why the abortion industry spreads the untruth that contraceptives don't work--anything they can do to discourage the use of contraceptives increases their profits. I have never understood why people who call themselves pro-life want to spread the same untruth.

I once saw where The Alan Guttmacher institute--which has a strong profit motive in promoting abortion--estimated that ~75% of those who abort were not using contraceptives. And that number is probably low, because it is counterproductive when promoting abortion to admit that the majority of pregnancies that end in abortion result from irresponsible behavior. That's because people are a lot more tolerant of someone having an abortion if they think she did everything possible to avoid pregnancy. Out of the many abortions I personally know of or have read about, I have *never* seen one that was committed because contraceptives failed.

You only abort unwanted children - if you’re using contraception anytime it fails, all children are unwanted. Ergo - contraception changes the mentality.

I don’t know where you got your stat on the 75%, but from Guttmacher’s own website, 54% of women obtaining abortion services were contraception when they got pregnant. As far as the abortion industry discouraging contraceptive use, I have never, ever witnessed that. All abortion clinics in my local phone book offer free conforms, prescriptions for birth control pills, and the morning after pill.

Your thoughts on this are way off. How do you explain widespread use of BCPs and IUDs yet we still abort over 1 million children in this country every year?? Contraception is not fail-safe and it is a lie. It’s the real war on women. Wake up.
