except it's a myth that it's 'routinely used' by anyone.

also:

Just as with women having their first abortion, however, the majority of women having their second or even their third abortion were using contraceptives during the time period in which they became pregnant. In fact, women having a repeat abortion are slightly more likely to have been using a highly effective hormonal method (e.g., the pill or an injectable). This finding refutes the notion that large numbers of women are relying on abortion as their primary method of birth control. Rather, it suggests that women having abortions—especially those having more than one—are trying hard to avoid unintended pregnancy, but are having trouble doing so.

i have to say, i don't understand why people bring up these supposed women who routinely have these abortions. and frankly, there's no evidence anyone does that.
it's not that there are many being done, and only a few women-1 in 3 women have had an abortion. it's more common than people realize-or want to realize.
as for the underlined, with more education going on, and more availability, the abortion and pregnancy rates have both dropped in this country for several years now, which is a good thing.
