One of the few groups actively pushing to protect access to abortion.
One of the best groups pushing for proper contraceptive use, and accessibility. If you want to prevent abortions and sexually transmitted diseases, you want to promote contraceptives.
but if they say its your right to experience sexual pleasure, aren't they kind of encouraging sexual activity? everyone knows the best contraceptive is celibacy, so if they really wanted to "prevent abortions" why wouldn't they discourage "sexual activity" outside of wedlock?
to me, since they profit off of harvesting organs, its like they want to encourage sex since the only way to get those juicy fetus organs is through making mistakes in the bedroom. and nothing says "dealbreaker" like a potential partner who is HIV-positive

On a personal basis, yes that works... if you can actually stick to it. But the issue is that we are all horny humans. What our brain thinks one moment, changes in the heat of passion. It is better to be prepared with contraceptives, than to screw up because you don't have them around.
As a matter of public policy, pushing for absence is far less effective than teaching about contraceptives and making sure they are readily available and people are not embarrassed to obtain them and use them.
okay but then defund planned parenthood. you can encourage education and teaching about contraceptives, but not on the taxpayer's dime. if its goal is to prevent abortions, then encourage celibacy, the only 100% guarantee that you won't get pregnant
