Robert Verbruggen: Most abortions serve as nothing more than birth control

By Alliance Alert

Robert Verbruggen writing at National Review Online: "[T]he majority of abortions ? far from all, but the majority ? serve as nothing more than routine birth control: Most women who have abortions became pregnant by willingly engaging in high-risk sexual activity, and many resort to abortion more than once . . . pro-lifers and moderate pro-choicers . . . need to face the fact that while programs designed to talk women out of abortion are one useful tool in a pro-life strategy, they will not significantly lower the abortion rate by themselves. Those who are truly concerned about abortion should have two priorities: first, overturning Roe v. Wade so that states may ban abortion; and second, in the meantime, designing an anti-abortion program that will appeal to women who use the procedure as birth control."
