If your whole worldview rests on a particular claim being true, you damn well better have evidence for it. You should have tons of evidence.

Adamczyk's own, separate research has shown a nearly opposite correlation, at the individual level. "What we find is that more religious women are less likely to engage in riskier sex behaviors, and as a result they are less likely to have a premarital pregnancy," Adamczyk said during a telephone interview. But for those religious teens who do choose to have premarital sex, they might be more likely to ditch their religious views and have an abortion, she has found.
A click-baity 2009 NBC news article that's copying an equally click-baity LiveScience article is probably not going to convince a lot of people.

My statement has nothing to do with whether rich people or poor people have more abortions. It simply states that if she got an abortion or used birth control, and if people like her did, this kind of problem wouldn't exist. You're too stupid to follow that basic logic."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostAnd if she would have practiced abstinence she would of had zero kids. Your statement is just meaningless prattle that you blurred out without any sort of thought put into it. The reality is she doesn't practice abstinence or any sort of birth control because she doesn't care to. Only those who think through the consequences of their actions would practice abstinence or birth control. Evidently, you missed the entire point being made to try to score cheap points against Christians and conservatives, before you understand what point was being made. What was the point being made before you made your silly statement?Blog: Atheism and the City

Originally posted by The Thinker View PostNo it is not meaningless prattle, because the point is that people like her need to be encouraged to use safer sex methods. The whole point is her ignorance to the consequences to her actions, which if she had taken precautions to prevent, like smarter people do, would not be in this mess. And abstinence only as a social policy has been shown to fail and even have the opposite consequences. So encouraging abstinence is statistically unlikely to remedy the problem, and may even make it worse.
