"In contrast, the evidence clearly shows that contraceptive use works. On a personal level, it reduces the probability of having an abortion by an estimated 85%. And at the program level, publicly subsidized family planning services in the United States have been shown to have helped women prevent 20 million pregnancies over the last 20 years, nine million of which would have been expected to end in abortion. Indeed, in the United States today, the small fraction of women—some 7%—who are sexually active and at risk of unintended pregnancy but do not practice contraception are responsible for almost half of the unintended pregnancies and nearly half of the abortions.
The overwhelming majority of sexually active women in this country seek to prevent unintended pregnancy by practicing contraception; however, women, their partners and technology are not perfect. Therefore, one of the key challenges in further reducing the abortion rate in the United States (and in many other countries around the world) is to increase contraceptive access across the entire society and to facilitate more consistent and more effective contraceptive use."

"What is the ontological difference between a Child who is delivered and the same Child 5 minutes before it has cleared the birth canal of the mother?"
Again you try to introduce straw man arguments. All late-term abortions are done because the unborn baby is horribly deformed or dying, or because the woman’s life is in danger. Why do you think a sane woman would carry a baby for 6 months if her intent is to end an unwanted pregnancy? Go down to your local women's health clinic and talk to the people who care about the health and the rights of women. Ignorance is simply no excuse for your hysterical misrepresentation.
