It is true that we can reduce the number of abortions by insuring that everyone has all the information and access to effective contraception they need to use it consistently and correctly. Unfortunately, groups that oppose the right to choose abortion are also working to reduce the availability of contraception. Contraception doesn't work. If one hundred couples have sex for a year using no form of contraception, statistics show that 85 of the women will become pregnant. By comparison, if the same 100 couples were to consistently and correctly use the Pill or a condom with spermicide, only one of the women would become pregnant.
Adoption is the solution to an unwanted pregnancy.
Giving up a baby for adoption after a woman has gone through an entire pregnancy can be very traumatic and painful for the rest of her life. Women who have abortions are not taking responsibility for their actions. Ending a pregnancy is not an easy decision. Women confronting an unplanned pregnancy weigh all their options and their many obligations and make the best decision for their individual situations. By not having a child they cannot take care of, they are making a responsible choice.
