"One third of women who had an abortion last year were on their second, third or even eighth termination, new figures show.
The statistics will fuel the debate over whether some women are using abortion as a form of contraception."



"In total, there were 64,715 repeat abortions in 2008, 33 per cent of the total and up from 64,230 the year before.
A breakdown of the data showed 11,354 women had their third abortion and 2,780 their fourth. The figures showed 46 women had had eight or more terminations."

In the United States...The research group relied on different surveys from both government and private groups to compile its research report and it indicated that one government survey of abortions from 2001-2002 showed 48 percent of women having repeat abortions.

Now scream all you want but when someone has "eight or more terminations"...questions would arise as to why there would be a need for this number of abortions if one is practicing proper birth control.

Does the Texas Board of Education allow proper birth control to be taught in Texas schools?

Now, I'm trying to keep up here, but what it seems like you're saying is that so many girls are using abortion as a means of birth control that a sonogram might be a good and worthwhile form of contraception.

Does this indicate that you're also in favor of intrusive government mandates and increasing the cost of health care and welfare entitlements to the indigent? Money coming out of our tax dollars to pay for these sonograms, poor unwanted kids, ruined lives?

You can't have it both ways, man.
