While promoting her latest book, pro-abortion author Jodi Picoult <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/radio\/q\/thursday-october-4-2018-patrick-dewitt-jodie-picoult-and-more-1.4848814\/fiction-is-a-great-way-to-subtly-change-minds-jodi-picoult-on-tackling-controversial-topics-in-her-work-1.4848975\">called<\/a> it \u201ca bit of a hypocrisy\u201d for anyone who opposes abortion also to oppose contraception.\u00a0She and others argue that contraceptives prevent unwanted pregnancy, and abortions result from unwanted pregnancies &#8212; and therefore, those who oppose abortion must support the expansion of taxpayer-funded contraception as a means of reducing the number of abortions.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/badcatholic\/2012\/11\/does-contraception-reduce-the-abortion-rate.html\">studies show<\/a> that when contraceptives are made widely available, the abortion rate <em>rises <\/em>in some instances<em>. <\/em>Abortion activists are quick to point out, as Picoult does, that once contraception reaches saturation in a population, there is a subsequent fall in the abortion rate. Thus, even if contraception appears to correlate with a rising abortion rate, they claim, there will eventually be a fall in the abortion rate. The question that remains is if the falling abortion rate ever reaches the previous, pre-contraception level. <strong>Spoiler alert: It doesn\u2019t.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t need to rely on speculation. After decades of legal, elective abortion and widely available contraceptives, we have consistent data on the relationship between contraceptive use and abortion. And what the data proves is that more contraception <em>isn&#8217;t<\/em> the solution to abortion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Data from the British Pregnancy Advisory Service<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bpas.org\/about-our-charity\/press-office\/press-releases\/women-cannot-control-fertility-through-contraception-alone-bpas-data-shows-1-in-4-women-having-an-abortion-were-using-most-effective-contraception\/\">recent survey<\/a> by the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) shows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>51.2% of abortion patients were using at least one form of contraception in the month they conceived.<\/li>\n<li>1 in 4 women seeking an elective abortion was using one of the \u201cmost effective\u201d forms of contraception at the time they became pregnant. (The methods considered most effective, hormonal contraception or a long-acting reversible contraceptive, can also <a href=\"https:\/\/thelostgenerations.wordpress.com\/2011\/04\/25\/does-the-birth-control-pill-cause-abortions-in-a-word-yes\/\">cause early abortions<\/a>, which is a fact not taken into account in this research.).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even with perfect use, every form of contraception has a failure rate.

She\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bpas.org\/about-our-charity\/press-office\/press-releases\/women-cannot-control-fertility-through-contraception-alone-bpas-data-shows-1-in-4-women-having-an-abortion-were-using-most-effective-contraception\/\">stated<\/a>, \u201cWhen you encourage women to use contraception, you give them the sense that they can control their fertility&#8230;. Our data shows women cannot control their fertility through contraception alone, even when they are using some of the most effective methods.
