It shouldn't. There are 14,000+ Public Health Department Family Planning Clinics located nationwide that provide free or very low-cost contraceptives. Why aren't women using them?

I don't know the answer to that question. Do you?

Calm down democrats, your sacred golden cow will not be sacrificed.
It's one of many political tools used by both parties.

Decision to abort or not is a personal choice and not political.

Yes, and the guarantee of privacy extends to a woman's right to abortion (within certain limits), as Roe v. Wade settled in 1973.

Beats me.

Why do many males prefer not to use a condom?

Takes a male and female engaging in unprotected sex to produce a baby.

No, that's why I'm asking. Why is abortion preferable to obtaining contraceptives at the exact same Planned Parenthood facilities (to prevent the pregnancy in the first place) for so many women?

Not the same. Women have many different choices of contraceptives, not just condoms. There's no reason to rely on abortion as a birth control method when women could have obtained contraceptives to prevent the pregnancy in the first place at the exact same Planned Parenthood facilities.

Agreed. And I’ve preached this many times. Humans have abortions, it’s what they do. Do we want it in a safe professional medical environment with trained personnel or do we want back alley abortions and coat hangers. It really illustrates the delusion some folks have with thinking abortions will ever stop, they won’t.

It it preferable or is it just sh*t happens? We have a daughter that proves preventative methods don't always work. How many locations have had their family clinics shut down or defunded preventing the distribution of contraception.

For such a continued outcry to prevent this choice/option how come there are so many children waiting to be adopted ?

Nice deflection. You get the “baffle them with blsht” award.
When there’s millions in taxpayer dollars being funneled back through the planned parenthood lobbyists to democrat politicians, there is a political problem masquerading as a personal decision.
And personally I have no opinion on abortion. Whoever is having the abortion has to pick up the intellectual tab for it in one form or another.
