Abortion as Birth Control
Using abortion as birth control means that abortion is being used as a back-up method to ineffective or improperly used contraception, or no contraception is beng used at all. Of women having abortions,

42% did not use contraception during the month they became pregnant
11% never used a method of birth control
47% have had at least one previous abortion
Although there are situations in which abortion is in response to health concerns of the mother or fetus, or in response to pregnancy arising from abuse, the majority of abortions are obtained for social and financial reasons. The primary reasons given for choosing abortion are given below.

75% say that having a baby would interfere with work, school or other responsibilities
about 66% say they cannot afford a child
50% do not want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner
Using abortion as birth control is not healthy physically or psychologically, and is not a mature or responsible approach to sex. Women obtaining abortions are at higher risk for reproductive tract infections, including HIV and PID. If you are using abortion as birth control, you are encouraged to rethink your sexual decisions. You might wait on sex until you find a relationship where you could continue a pregnancy should one occur.
