Abortion, Pregnancy, and Contraceptive Information

As women in America become increasingly aware of and educated about their bodies, many different opinions are being formed on issues such as pregnancy, abortive procedures, and the ethics of contraceptive use.

There are countless resources available to teach the in’s and out’s of abortion and contraception, as well as the process by which one actually gets pregnant. Wikipedia and WebMD are good places to start. But many of these resources do not extrapolate from technical explanations in order to consider to take a look at the context in which this information exists.

I could prove this point by asking a series of questions:
● How many women in America get abortions?
● Do most women use contraception?
● How much does the average abortion cost?
● When, in the pregnancy cycle, are abortions usually performed?
● How far do women have to travel to get abortions performed?
● Are abortions dangerous?
● Are abortion rates rising or falling?
