First, I am opposed to abortion. Let us bring about its end as soon as we can. But contraception does not cause abortion. Irresponsible people do. And welfare breeds irresponsible people. And free spending liberals expand welfare. So free spending liberals cause abortion. So, can we get back to that budget thingee.
Now, all of that is just a little bit glib, and the whole situation is a lot more complex than that, which I admit, but you won't.
But one thing is certain is that contraception did not cause all of that. Lack of individual responsiblity caused all of that, and I just won't buy the argument that using contraception is a sign of individual irresponsibility. I really just won't buy it.
Yes. It does. It gives a false sense of security. I posted statistics with links in post 466.
The Guttmacher report shows “54 percent of women who have abortions had used a contraceptive method *usually condom or the pill) during the month they became pregnant.” These figures are similar to those of a report in Spain showing abortions doubling despite increased family planning promotion.
Who's having abortions (marital status)?
64.4% of all abortions are performed on never-married women;Married women account for 18.4% of all abortions and divorced women obtain 9.4%.
They believe that they are "safe" because they use contraceptives. They aren't.
