While it may seem that contraception is the logical solution to abortion,
pregnancy rates are actually higher for women who are on birth control.

Dr. Robert Hatcher is a widely recognized expert in the field of contraception, a professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and author of the book, Contraception Technology. At a 1995 National Abortion Federation meeting held in New Orleans, Hatcher cited a study conducted at Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania, saying, “…half of the women put on Norplant, and half put on oral contraceptives-now listen to these numbers-at the end of 15 months, all these women not wanting to become pregnant, 38 percent of the pill patients were pregnant! Thirty-eight percent! What are we doing? We’re giving them a fertility pill!”

Hatcher’s observation on the relationship between birth control and pregnancy rates are not new. After a 1958 Planned Parenthood conference, a report was published on its findings which included the following statement: “It was recognized by the conference participants that no scientific evidence has been developed to support the claim that increased availability of contraceptive services will clearly result in a decreased illegal abortion rate.” (The fact that this quote relates to illegal abortion is irrelevant. The question of how contraception use affects pregnancy rates is not influenced by the legal status of abortion.)

This report was edited by Dr. Mary Calderone, Medical Director of Planned Parenthood, and the Chairman of the Statement Committee was Alan Guttmacher for whom Planned Parenthood’s research branch is named. One of the participants in this conference was Dr. Alfred Kinsey. When another of the attendees continued to push contraception as the way to eradicate abortion, Kinsey responded, “At the risk of being repetitious, I would remind the group that we have found the highest frequency of induced abortion in the group which, in general, most frequently uses contraceptives.”

Also, many intra-uterine devices, also known as IUDs, do not prevent pregnancies from occurring.

IUDs are designed to prevent implantation and create an environment in the womb that terminates the pregnancy.

In a pathetic attempt to cover up the fact that morning-after pills, emergency contraceptives and most birth control pills are actually early-term abortions, the abortion lobby has tried to redefine pregnancy. On one hand, they will concede that these drugs do indeed act after fertilization; however, they argue that since these chemicals are designed to work before implantation, the woman is not really pregnant and, therefore, there can be no termination of pregnancy. In other words, according to their line of reasoning, it is not technically possible for these drugs to constitute an abortion. This is a great example of the abortion industry’s way of misleading the general public.

The biological fact is that a new human life is created at the moment of fertilization and that does not change whether implantation occurs instantly, five minutes later, two days later or never. It is also important to note, that research indicates that birth control is linked to various cancers and cardio-vascular problems.

Plan B is an “emergency contraceptive” that is designed to be taken within 72 hours of sex to temporarily delay the release of an egg from the ovary. However, the FDA states on its website ¹ that it also may prevent fertilization, or even “prevent a fertilized egg from attaching to the womb.”

In other words, in cases where it doesn’t prevent pregnancy, it can end it. This is because much of its effectiveness to prevent pregnancy rather than ending it depends on where a woman is in her cycle. The active ingredient Levonorgestrel, is common among birth control pills, but is found in much lower doses than compared to the “morning after pill.” 

In 2006, the FDA approved the drug to be sold over the counter to those, including men, over the age of 18. Those younger than 18 would have to obtain a prescription from a doctor before being able to purchase the abortifacient. The FDA stated that the reason for this decision was that “proponents did not demonstrate that Plan B could be used safely by young adolescent women for emergency contraception without the professional supervision of a licensed practitioner.” ²  However, in 2013, the FDA amended this and approved the drug to be sold to anyone over the counter, regardless of their age. Now, Plan B can even be found in vending machines on college campuses. ³

Because of the ease of availability of Plan B, it has become a best friend to both pro-choice males and pedophiles. Since this drug has been available over the counter without a prescription, reports of men slipping the drug into their girlfriend’s or wife’s food and drinks have surfaced. Read about these cases here.

Additionally, the ease of availability for men and young girls to purchase this dangerous drug allows pedophiles to conceal illegal sexual relationships with minors from the child’s friends and family, as well as the authorities. To learn more about this epidemic, click here.

RU-486 and Other Chemical Abortions

Of course, like any drug, complications increase when a drug is not taken as directed by the manufacturer or your doctor, especially if the FDA has not approved it for such usage. Since RU-486 abortions have been approved for use in clinics across the country, the abortion industry has ignored FDA and manufacturer warnings regarding RU-486 and Cytotec, including prescribing variations from the recommended dosages, failure to use ultrasounds to determine fetal age, prescribing it to women who are too advanced in their pregnancies, failure to schedule follow-ups, sending the patient home with one or both drugs to take later rather than administered in the clinic.

Perhaps one of the most dangerous applications of the RU-486 and Prostaglandin combination are Telemed Abortions. The end goal of the abortion industry was to have a network of sites that would allow women to receive the pill via video phone calls from doctors across the country.

Check out this episode of our Pro-Life America podcast, where we reveal the interesting, yet chilling, origins behind RU-486 and why the abortion industry pushes it. We also discuss how botched RU-486 abortions happen, and how the abortion industry uses it to squeeze out more money from clients.
