I don’t know that women are all using it as a primary means of birth control. I’ve heard that Russia has the highest abortion rate in the world – evidently about 50% of all pregnancies there end in an abortion. Scary. I don’t know what’s wrong with them but it’s a massacre. And yes, multiple abortions are bad for you. Even one is risky.

Because they do not know how to keep their legs crossed

Yes, multiple abortions can cause problems with having children at a later date.

The only reason I can conceive why someone would use abortion as a form of birth control is if it’s more readily available than other means of birth control like condoms, IUD’s and the pill.

Because they are murderous assholes.
They need to learn to keep their damn legs closed.
If you conceive and really don’t want a baby, GIVE IT UP FOR ADOPTION, don’t kill it.

Because in Europe THEY actually realize that birth control is 100% a woman’s personal issue and nobody elses…unlike this country. And now this probably brings up the debate whether this is considered "murder" or not. And I find that hypocritical on so many levels because we selfishly consider ourselves "sacred human life" yet when we do this to a chicken, its not considered an abortion…its considered an omlette. Abortion ought to be a women’s personal choice and nobody elses because last I checked those that do claim they "care about saving the pre-born" only care about it when its a fetus. But after that its completly on its own…

Birth control and abortion is such a personal issue and should be a womans own personal decision…some of you religious people are probably going to thumbs me down on this but this is my honest opinion for abortion.

I don’t know there are so many abortions in europe but I do know that the more abortions a woman has, the more she is at risk for later miscarriages and breast cancer.

Cathy, calling someone someone a murderous asshole is a great example of Christianity!!!

Some of them are poor , others are promiscuous , some don’t know , others are misinformed and others don’t care that the Eastern European birth rates have fallen beyond replacement level

My guess would be a lack of access or knowledge of actual birth control methods. I really doubt these women are choosing abortions over the pill.

I don’t know what the situation is like currently but in the past, Russian women had on average, nine abortions in their lifetime. That was due to a lack of access to contraceptives and poor sex education.
