My experience was that Planned Parenthood only paid lip service to advocating for the use of contraception. In reality, when their sales staff discussed contraception, it was to say how likely it is to fail, and how dangerous it is--neither of which are messages that promote the use of contraception. They talked about the rhythm method, in which they described the signs of ovulation and told us that that is the "safest" time to have sex and avoid pregnancy. Couple the misinformation about contraception with the message that abortion is perfectly safe and that there are even health benefits to having abortions, especially late abortions, they had a very strong abortion sales pitch.
I was subjected to this sales pitch in the 1970s. To this day, I have scarcely heard any abortion advocate even acknowledge the existence of contraceptives, much less advocate their use. About the only time they mention contraceptives is when they are running a campaign against a pro-life politician. Then they fear monger by claiming that Republicans want to make abortion *and contraceptives* illegal.
It is rather unfair to claim that the availability of contraceptives causes women to have abortions, when the abortion industry that is presumably providing them actually discourages their use. If pro-aborts were as adament about pushing contraceptives as they are about pushing abortion, the abortion industry would all but fold.
It is rather unfair to change my statement regarding correlation to a claim of causation that I did not make.
That said, your additional information is very interesting. I have not had experience with Planned Parenthood - different generation, perhaps.
Hormonal contraceptives are abortifacient. Surgical abortions are just the tip of the horrific iceberg. There may have been thousands upon thousands of times as many abortions caused by chemical warfare contraceptives as by the surgical butchers. God only knows.
