In this episode, Josh, Liz, Jon and Walter Hoye discuss a fascinating news story that seems to debunk a common pro-choice argument…
Excerpt: Debunking Birth Control Myths
For further study…
- LifeNews.com story we’re quoting from
- JillStanek.com commented on the story
- Abortion advocates agree with us!
-
- According to the CDC, “Induced abortions usually result from unintended pregnancies, which often occur despite the use of contraception.” (Abortion Surveillance —- United States, 2000. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss5212a1.htm)
- According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, “54% of women having abortions used a contraceptive method during the month they became pregnant. 13% of the pill users and 14% of the condom users reported correct use. (Induced Abortion in the United States, Alan Guttmacher Institute. http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/fb_induced_abortion.html)
- According to pro-abortion feminist Katha Pollitt, abortion will always be “needed.” “The fact is, there will never be zero abortions. Half the women who abort are using birth control already. Even in small, tidy, prosperous Sweden and the Netherlands, there are abortions.” (“Prochoice Puritans” http://www.thenation.com/doc/20060213/pollitt)
- Jane Galt, who describes herself as being pro-abortion choice, uses Planned Parenthood’s own research to back up her argument that access to contraception is not a major factor in teen pregnancy. “And that’s the best study Planned Parenthood can come up with, the one that is probably the outlier on the normally distributed bell curve of such study outcomes.” (Response to Peter Northup; http://www.janegalt.net/blog/archives/005686.html)
- That reminds me of another study in which women were given free emergency contraception with education on how to use it. At the end of the study period, the pregnancy rate compared to the control group did not decrease at all. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=15632336)
Jon mentioned the talk “Contraception: Why Not” by Janet Smith. You can get a free copy of this CD by clicking here. (If you have questions about contraception in regards to what your church teaches, we would recommend that you talk to your church’s priest or pastor.)
