the absurd hypocrisy inherent in the "pro-life, anti-contraception" stance

You Sluts Are Having Fewer Abortions Than Ever, Thanks to the Pill:

'via Blog this' "it seems that women who get pregnant are tending to wait until they want to have a child. Hm, I wonder how that's happening?

Abortion rates peaked in the 1990's, according to the CDC; just 22 years ago, about 1/4 of pregnancies ended in abortion, compared with 18% in 2008 (17% of pregnancies that year ended in fetal loss). Women in their late 20's and early 30's ended their pregnancies with live birth 70% of the time. Although women in their twenties are more likely to get pregnant than women in any other age group (the CDC says that in 2008, 1 in 6 women in their twenties was pregnant, which explains the ubiquity of creepy high def ultrasound images in my Facebook feed), pregnancy rates are dropping across almost all age and demographic groups — except for older women. In fact, women in their late thirties are pregnanting up a storm; for the first time, their overall pregnancy rate has passed the pregnancy rate of women in their mid teens. And the pregnancy rate for women in their forties has been shooting steadily upward since the early 1990's." 

"History shows us that increased access to safe, affordable contraception gives women the power to choose when and how to have a family, and that increased use of contraception translates to fewer abortions. So unless you're straight up morally opposed to women having pleasurable, consequence-free sex, opposing birth control makes about as much sense as opposing seat belts or air bags."
