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]

First off, no contraceptive is 100% effective. Thus, even if precautions are taken, there is no guarantee that a pregnancy won't result.

Second, what's wrong with letting the woman choose what to do regardless of how she got pregnant? If, as under your theory, that she is irresponsible due to inability to use contraception or plan ahead, what makes you think she should keep the baby to term and raise it? She is now magically responsible enough to be a good parent and to raise the child properly? [/quote]

The reason is simple: although I am pro-choice, I still believe that abortion is the taking of incipient life. Not a religious viewpoint but just a moral one. While I would not deny a woman the right to abort, I still think it is not something that a woman should do unless there is a compelling reason not to have the child. A compelling reason does not include the inconvenience of having a baby. [/quote]
Or perhaps allow adoption.[/quote]
