It is a simple fact that almost half of all abortions are the result of no birth control being used during the sex which led to the unwanted pregnancy.
Clearly if more birth control methods were being used, there would be far less abortions. And if there were far less abortions, abortions would become far less socially acceptable responses to pregnancy.
But here's another thing we know. Providing someone access to birth control is not the same thing as someone actually using birth control.
The trick is figuring out how to get people to actually use it.
The St. Louis experiment succeeded so fantastically well because they pushed the women to use implants instead of the pill or condoms. They offered all possible methods, but really pushed the implants.
An implant solves the problem of getting people to consistently use birth control. Once implanted, they never have to think about it again. They don't have to remember to take the pill every day, or have a ready supply of condoms around, or run to the bathroom to put in a diaghram during the heat of the moment.
Implant and forget. It works. It had a dramatic impact on the number of abortions. And less abortions should be a cause for celebration for any pro-lifer.
So implants appear to be one very good facet of a solution to the abortion and single mother problem.
But this very obvious thing is going to be ignored by heated up pro-lifers for two reasons. First, the idea of a bunch of black people being free to hump to their hearts' content without fear of pregnancy just bothers some people.
Second, the idea of their money being taken from them by force and given to black people so they can hump to their hearts' content is really, really galling.
I must say, it galls me, too. Not the black thing, the forced to pay for it thing.
The squeamishness over sex will not be overcome and has a lot of irrationality to it.
However, the forced taxation to pay for it is a logical objection. You are going to make me pay for someone else's birth control, or you are going to make me pay for their unwanted babies' healthcare, food, clothing, and shelter.
In either case, we are being forced to pay for irresponsible behavior. If those who are behaving irresponsibly are not held accountable for their behavior and are able to extort support from others, then that encourages irresponsible behavior.
So we have a really good solution to the abortion problem. Implants.
But now we have a funding problem. Who should pay for it? Plainly the people who are using a service should be the one's to pay for it.
If they cannot afford it, then I believe the second best answer is for private funding. Billions of dollars are raised by private charities every year. There's no reason why George Clooney can't go on TV with big doe eyes and appeal to the public to please help, won't you? Strains of depressing music as scenes of little inner city black babies who could have been prevented with your donations. Hey, it's the Third World down here, so send a check!
That's the left's fear. Being honest about the situation on the ground.
That's why we can't meet in the middle.

Right? You don't spend 6 months on a boat with a few hundred people without everyone knowing the color of every shit that everyone's taken.
