Barrier Contraceptives Bear Dead Fruit Too

Condom failure causes numerous abortions. Here's one of the few that survive.

Pro-lifers are of course opposed to abortion in all of its forms.

Most serious Pro-lifers being aware of the abortifacient nature of all chemical methods of contraception would also be opposed to the use of these.

A small number of pro-lifers will however have difficulty when it comes to so called barrier methods. As most women going for abortions do so as a result of contraception failure there should be no such difficulty.

Pregnancy Centres worldwide report that the most common contraceptive failure, that so often leads to abortion, is condom failure.

The United States Supreme Court (see below*) has stated that legal Abortion must be available as a fall-back when legal contraception fails.

If we are not prepared to tackle the root of the problem (contraception), the major cause of abortion, then we will never be able to combat this evil effectively.

* Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the ... Supreme Court decision that confirmed Roe v. Wade, stated, "in some critical respects abortion is of the same character as the decision to use contraception . . . . for two decades of economic and social developments, people have organized intimate relationships and made choices that define their views of themselves and their places in society, in reliance on the availability of abortion in the event that contraception should fail."
