Professor Michael J. New has a new article out claiming that the Food and Drug Administration's decision to give a single oral contraception formula over-the-counter status will not lower abortion rates. With all due respect, not only is the overall claim suspect, as I will explain later, but he also misrepresents the data which in actuality undermines his very thesis.
Compare that to the more than a quarter of study respondents who used condoms, which are 98% successful with perfect use, and the 7.4% who used withdrawal, a"birth control" method so ineffective it cannot even accurately be described as such. . New cites a second Guttmacher study finding that"only 12 percent [of abortion recipients] cited cost or availability as reasons" for not using contraception as evidence that"few sexually active women have difficulty accessing contraceptives." But 14.6% of women in this study said they"never got around to getting a [contraception method]," another 7% said their partners didn't want to use a method, and 25.
New once again seems to conflate the broad category of"contraception" with the Pill, saying"a CDC study of nearly 5,000 teenage girls who gave birth also found that only a small percentage had difficulty accessing contraception.
