Shears, Kathleen Henry. "Increasing Contraception Reduces Abortion." FHI-Network Vol. 21 No. 4 2002: 28-33. SIRS Researcher. Web. 13 April 2010.
Through various studies and experiments, researchers found that increasing contraception declines the abortion rate. Though this conception may seem obvious, it is difficult to prove. One convincing study occured in Hungary. A graph depicted women ages 15-44 that used contraception had less abortions. This is key especially in countries where abortions are unsafe. Unsafe abortion claims the lives of almost 80,000 women every year. Life-threatening complications occur in about a third of women undergoing an unsafe abortion. Although increasing contraception does not fully cure the problem of abortion, it definitly helps. I think effective contraception is a great idea that can help save lives.

I feel like the points you make about this article are a little too obvious. But I do completely agree that contraception should be advocated globally, and that doubled with education about the contraception would definitely decrease abortion rates, and thus save the lives of those 80,000 women.
