42. You have a point that "rare" as a policy goal can attach a stigma to it.

And while the decision may be easy for many women, that doesn't mean they wouldn't have preferred to have avoided the pregnancy entirely.

Access to the most effective methods, such as IUD's or implants, without parental consent, is still impossible in half of our states.

That is intolerable.

Access to free birth control reduces abortion rates
A study from Washington University School of Medicine shows that providing free birth control to women reduces unplanned pregnancies and abortions

....
A new study by investigators at Washington University reports that providing birth control to women at no cost substantially reduces unplanned pregnancies and cuts abortion rates by a range of 62 to 78 percent compared to the national rate....

Whether it's a policy goal or not, access to effective birth control reduces abortion rates by something like 60% or 80%.

That tells me that when given the choice, women choose methods like IUD's or implants over less effective methods and sequential abortion as back up "birth control" method.
