There have been two important stories in recent days linking abortion and contraception. Firstly, among British women hundreds of women have become pregnant after a long-term contraceptive implant failed and subsequently went on to have abortions. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1344132/Contraceptive-implant-alert-Hundreds-women-pregnant-birth-control-fails.html?printingPage=true Secondly, a study of women in Spain has found that abortion rates and contraception rates rose in parallel between 1997 and 2007. Both stories need to be examined closely regarding the data used and the individual circumstances involved, but both stories provide evidence of the close association between contraception and abortion. The provision of contraception not only fails to prevent unplanned pregnancies but results in unborn children being victimised, to death as the unwelcome consequences of so-called contraceptive failure.
Pray: that abortion trends will not continue to grow as contraception failure increases. (Ps.139:15-16)
