MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. Holy cow Major. I knew it was high but not that high. WOW! I think a lot of women are using abortion as a form of birth control. Wrong, wrong, wrong!

Over 50% of women who undergo an elective abortion were using birth control at the time they got pregnant. No form of birth control is 100% effective. You would also see multiple pregnancies per year if most women were using abortion as birth control, but over half had never had an abortion before, and another quarter had only had one previous abortion. So the data don't really support that "a lot" of women are using abortion as a form of birth control.
That said, approximately 50% of pregnancies in the United States are unintended, of which about half end in abortion. Better sex education and better availability of contraception (both preventative and emergency) have been shown to decrease the rates of unintended pregnancy, which decreases the incidence of abortion.

ENS (Join to see) - If you are referring to the Guttmacher Institute study, that statistic is that 51% of women who seek an abortion used some method of contraception within the month of inception. I find that an odd way to phrase it.
If someone practiced withdrawal as their primary method of birth control a couple weeks before, or after, not practicing withdrawal, they would be considered using a contraceptive method for purposes of the study.
It appears to me that if they failed to take the pill for 28 days and then engaged in unprotected sex, they count as a contraceptive failure, for purposes of the study
The "Rythm Method" and "Withdrawal" are considered contraceptive methods, also. I guess those two methods are better than "Rock, Paper, Scissors." I guess...
A quick review of the abstract of the original study indicates that roughly 500,000 of the 710,000 respondents who were considered using contraception when they became pregnant were using one of these three as their primary method. My numbers may be wrong, but I have been unable to access anything but the abstract. So, I wouldn't bet the farm on my numbers.

Reported contraceptive use in the month of becoming pregnant among U.S. abortion patients in 2000...
The objective was to determine whether types of contraceptive methods used by abortion patients in the month they became pregnant changed between 2000 and 2014.

Abortion is murder. Unless the mother is at risk of losing her life or the fetus dies in the womb.
