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]

Per Guttmacher stats, 51% of abortions are of pregnancies that occurred while some form of birth control was being used - usually condoms or a hormonal method. That is in DIRECT OPPOSITION to your family members' opinions on the matter, which are not scientific. (Link here: https://www.guttmacher.org/fact-sheet/induced-abortion-united-states)

The reality is that abortion IS a form of birth control. How many forms of birth control do you use? I'm married and I have an IUD, so I rely on the IUD, which has a very high effectiveness rating, to prevent pregnancy. My back up method of birth control, in the event that I become pregnant when I don't want to be, is having an abortion. Prior to the IUD, I was on the pill, and when it failed one month and I got pregnant, I got an abortion because that was my back up method of birth control then too.[/quote]
