Actually, I am pro-choice but [b]I can tell you categorically that many abortions are the result of outright irresponsibility[/b] and the attitude that if pregnancy results then abortion is a ready remedy. It is downright immoral to abort just because a couple were not willing to take steps to prevent pregnancy. It has nothing to do with controlling a woman's sex life - it has to do with being responsible before having sex.[/quote]

And you know this because you are a researcher or because you work at a women's clinic?[/quote]

I know this because there are several family members - including immediate family - who are physicians and they have repeatedly stated this based on their knowledge of what happens. One is OB/GYN ..... they are all  pro-choice but they would tell you that the vast majority of abortions are not the failure of birth control or rape or incest or concerns about the health of a mother.

It happens because no precautions are taken to avoid pregnancy since there is a fallback - namely an abortion.[/quote]
Seriously, they've conducted scientific polls to know for sure that the availability of abortion is the reason people didn't use protection?  It's possible that anecdotally this is true in a given community...but the opinion of several family members (only one of which is an OB/GYN) is not definitive to me.  I know literally hundreds of doctors who have a variety of view points on this matter, and my mother is a neonatologist.  She's very religious and anti-choice for that reason, but she has never stated that the availability of abortion makes people less likely to use birth control.  And the population of mothers she sees skews heavily toward unwanted pregnancies.[/quote]
