To a degree I mostly agree with you. It should be used only as an last resort in most cases. After all, there's always the morning after pills and other forms of birth control.
although the problem here isn't incorrectly using abortion as birth-control. it's the fact that both men and women in most of those cases usually didn't know how to use birth control correctly.
hell, in half of those cases, they were teenagers who weren't even taught how to correctly use birth control because the parents and or the school was paranoid that it would only actively encourage them to have sex. when most likely they were ALREADY having sex to start with.
Abensentice is way too much of a unrealistic expectation to have of a teenager, espeically a horny teen pumped up on her/his own hormones to start with. You're basically lucky as an parent if your child decides to at least hold off having sex until College, and in college they're almost more irresponsible than they were in High school. They just officially became adults in a sense, and they can get away with a lot than they would had at home.
also that kind of thinking will also damage them as adults, because as adults they will still have no idea how to use birth control correctly, unless somebody out there is willing to walk them though it.
That's why I'm all for early sex education, starting with age 13 and up. This way when they come into the "hormonally-charged horny stage" of their life they can think back to their sex education class and think: "oh, maybe we shouldn't do this yet. We can't do this without condoms and birth control pills, and I'm not old enough to have those things yet. Maybe I'm not ready for sex yet."
There could be Sex education classes for adults too as well, just like a refresher course to make sure that every man and woman knows where to get things like morning after pills and things like that. did you know there's STILL people out there who actually believes in that whole "pull it out before you cum" method? they don't even know that you still can get pregnant that way.
at least with the knowledge on how to use real birth control correctly, it cuts down on any need for abortion. unless the woman in question is at risk.
