>> It was always "widely available" for people with money. Node knows that. He is just being an asshat jerk. As usual.

This is what we [those who are knowledgeable about data analysis] refer to as spurious correlation.

You think they're related but there really is no evidence of a relationship. There are significant other potential causes (ignorant, perverse incentives, lack of self-respect, moral inconsideration, general lack of responsibility, etc.) that are the more likely causes.

If a poor woman wants to have sex but truly "cannot afford" protection against pregnancy, she could tell her boyfriend if he wants to have sex he needs to come up with money for protection first. Period. And be grown up about it. Even a condom provides reasonable safety for a one-off.

The painting of poverty as a cause of abortion is abject racism. And you are as racist as anyone I know of.

You impute stupidity on people who were raised on federal money, had no example of responsibility in their lives, and they are replicating the behavior they learned from their momma and if they had one, their daddy.

The pill is available for as little as 33c/day. Less than the cost of 1 cigarette, a bottle of water or soft drink, each day.

Let's not act as though poverty is a factor. It isn't.
