Never did I say anything about trying to defund Planned Parenthood. I am refuting the argument that if Planned Parenthood went away, the need for abortions would go up because people would not have affordable access to contraception. Clearly that's not true.

No, that IS true. Did you read the links I posted? Abortions would increase.

I didn't read the links (if you want to share the links that you are referring to, I will) but if the price for a pack of birth control pills goes for $9 per month, it seems clear that cost is not a significant barrier to people being able to access it.

What would happen in Planned Parenthood decided to stop performing abortions entirely and focused solely on education, pap smears, breast exams and access to contraception in exchange for continuing to receive federal funding? They could then start a separate organization that strictly deals with abortion only. Keeping the money and the organizations separate would probably help them in the long run.
You libs almost make me feel bad for women who can't afford to buy birth control, almost.
If you can afford a cell phone...
If you can afford your cable tv...
If you can afford your cigarettes...
If you can afford that bottle of booze...
If you can afford one night out a month...
If you can afford to get strung out on meth...
Etc.
Birth control prescription plus annual Dr. exam cost is $143 - $308 per year for the uninsured.
Sex is a lot like driving a car. If you can't afford the insurance, don't drive.
Oh, and Planned Murderhood, they're toast! May they all rot in H#LL!
Oh please, where in the world are you coming up with this info My daughter was between jobs and was uninsured for a couple of months. Her birth control was almost $200 a month out of pocket. And the doctor exam was $150 each visit. But maybe you should tell the boys to keep it in their pants.
The abortion rate is declining at fairly rapid rate.

The decline in the abortion ratio from 34% in 1996 to 22% in 2011 has nothing at all to do with changing attitudes or new state restriction on abortion.
In fact, the abortion rate declining from 33% to 18% in the decade before Obamacare mandated birth control coverage simply defies explanation since we already know Americans think abortion is just dandy!

Unless you want to delude yourself to believe everyone has suddenly had a rapid change of heart and jumped on the Jesus bandwagon.
According to this, teen sexual activity has been declining since 1991.
At least among teens, abstinence is up and the reason most commonly given is religious/moral conviction.
