I agree with Lisa's post. I remember reading an article years ago that compared countries rates of abortions/unwanted children that had active safe sex policies (bill boards for condomns, public safe sex education, etc.) to countries like ours with our abstinence policy. The results were astronomical. The difference was huge. It just shows that the promotion of safe sex works much better than abstinence programs which are barely working at all.
Abortion isn't always the worse end to a pregnancy though. What about the large number of aborted babies born to drug addicts that would have a nonexhistant chance of adoption/a normal life? Yes, you can educate these people to see what they've done is wrong, but they most likely know that already. In the end you have a drug addicted baby born to a mother on crack. It perpetuates a cycle that most people would prefer to stop. The child's suffering would be prolonged and he'll most likely die in some way as a result of addiction. Let alone the fact that the baby has a high chance of not even developing properly because of the drugs the mother took.
