This is why I question your sexual activity. People who have sex frequently using birth control can go years and years without having a kid. So when you find out your pregnant after a decade of having sex, YES, it comes as a surprise.
Fine. But it should be a surprise that there was a chance for that to happen. That's my point.
I think everyone here agrees that abortion is not appropriate form of birth control. I assure there is no significant number of the population that is thinking, "nah I don't need to take birth control, I'll just get an abortion." Abortion is much more expensive than the bill or condoms.
I know. The point is, some people do use it as a form of birth control. And the numbers show that (in my country).
And, YES, the birth rate has dropped in Western/Northern Europe and in America. It's not an opinion it's a fact. Ever hear of demography? People study these sorts of things.
Why are you hitting a strawman again? When did I ever question the birthrate in Europe and America?
