8 Reasons to vote for Gary Johnson

ap bikini team Wrote:I didn't mean every women uses it as birth control. However I do know women that have had no less than 3 abortions, and they're in their mid twenties (one of them has had 6). I'm all for proper education of contraceptives. And poorer people do have access to birth control. Planned Parenthood and birth control through Medicaid is available. There are far too many people that use abortion as a safety net, and not as a last result. Even if we're using the numbers by the CDC, that means 1 out of every 4 has had more than 2 or more abortions. Condoms are readily available. If you don't have a dollar to buy one, maybe you should reconsider your priorities.

The thing that I think is most worrying is:
"abortion ratios in 2008 and throughout the entire period of analysis were highest among adolescents aged ≤19 years."

equal to or Under 19- which would be the prime target of sex education and access to contraceptives and birth control most likely involves parents.

That tells me we aren't teaching them that abortions shouldn't be fall back plans.
