CHOICE

The United States has one of the highest rates of abortion among industrialized countries outside of eastern Europe, in large part because we have high levels of unintended pregnancy. In addition to safeguarding access to abortion services, if we hope to continue to decrease the number and rate of abortions in this country, we must first address the factors responsible.
Continued assaults on access to contraceptive information and services, particularly for young women and men, will only lead to more unplanned pregnancies and abortions.
