| Lack of birth control leads to three million unplanned pregnancies per
year. One million of these pregnancies end in abortion. Two million
of these pregnancies end in unplanned childbirth. By not promoting
birth control, you're choosing unplanned pregnancies. Though some say
that promoting birth control could encourage sex, that added risk from
the increased incidence of sex, is extremely slight because it is
increased safe sex, compared to the decrease in unsafe sex, turning
unsafe sex into safe sex, and decreasing pregnancy.
The risk of accidental pregnancy when both condoms and birth control
pills are used is approximately 1 in 1,000,000 couples per year. When
just condoms are used, the risk is 1 in 50 per year and when just birth
control is used, the risk is 1 in 200 per year.
Risk of accidental pregnancy
Per Year (assuming 100 sex acts) Per Act
No protection 8 in 10 (1 in 1.25) 1 in 125
Condoms 1 in 50 1 in 5,000
Birth Control 1 in 200 1 in 20,000
Condoms & Birth Control 1 in 1,000,000 1 in 100,000,000
Calculation is derived as 5,000*20,000=100,000,000
There are around 100 million women in the United States between the
ages of 14-59 who can get pregnant. If every one of these women are on
birth control and use condoms, there will only be 100 unplanned
pregnancies per year.
Thus we should promote birth control. Specifically we should promote
the use of two forms of birth control - such as the pill, and condoms -
together, at the same time.
And thus we may conclude, that failing to promote and provide birth
control is one of the most immoral things in the world, leading to
1 million abortions, and 2 million unplanned childbirths, over 500,000
of them to teenage mothers.
Given that there are approximately 4 million babies born per year, 2
million, or 50% of all newborns are thus unplanned. This must surely
have a demonstrative effect upon the socio-econcomic status of our
society.
