New York, NY (LifeNews.com) -- Repeat abortions used to account for about 40 percent of all abortions in the United States, but a new study from the Alan Guttmacher Institute shows that figure is on the rise. Now, about half of every abortion done annually is an abortion done on a woman who has had at least one previous abortion.
The study from AGI, the research arm of Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion business, examined the abortions done on women in 2002.
AGI said the typical profile of a woman having a repeat abortion is someone over the age of 30 who already has children and was using contraception at the time of the pregnancy.
You know how pro-lifers aren't keen on contraception as a method of preventing abortion?
This is why.
Because people use contraception and they still get abortions.
Whereas if you practice abstinence and have a culture of life mentality, you don't need an abortion.
The research group relied on different surveys from both government and private groups to compile its research report and it indicated that one government survey of abortions from 2001-2002 showed 48 percent of women having repeat abortions.
Rachel Jones, a senior research associate on the study, told Reuters that the AGI survey "suggests that we need to do a better job helping all women better prevent unwanted pregnancies, so they can avoid having to decide whether to seek abortions or raise children they are not prepared for."
More contraception will just mean more abortion. The more contraception you throw at people, the more sex they have, the more failures you have, the more abortions you have. When half the people having abortions say they were actually USING contraception, but they couldn't afford to get pregnant, that should tell you something.
It should say that contraception is NOT the answer. No matter how much you teach people to use it perfectly, they won't.
If you convince the same number of people to use abstinence instead of using contraception, even if some people have sex any way, it'll still be fewer abortions overall.
Sharon Camp, the president and CEO of AGI, told Reuters, that the solution to the repeat abortion problem was more abortions.
So abortions are a problem. The solution? Have more of the porblem!
She also claimed the Bush administration's "wall of separation" between family planning clinics and abortion centers led to more abortions.
There were more abortions during the Clinton era.
