This study confirms what I've always believed, if you hate abortion, make birth control widely available. As this Scientific American article points out, when birth control was made zero cost the rate of abortions was half of what it was expected to be.
It is such a sad irony that the religious right advocates a policy - abstinence - that increases what they dislike the most - abortions. Their position has no grounding in facts or reality.
