Originally posted by robertb View PostI imagine that people have children at a similar rate to other 'Western' economies. However, I thought we were discussing why abortion itself was more rare, to which I posited education as being the likely primary reason.
I'm dubious of education as a causal factor. I've yet to walk into a classroom where none of the little (usually not so little) ones couldn't tell me that condoms were a prevention method. I also usually see the same little ones (not so little, thankfully) in my office. I'm therefore dubious about just how effective education is in any prevention area."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Accurate education seems to be essential to that bit about being rare.That's what

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostActually, according to Guttmacher, it appears to be more a function of poverty than education. In the Netherlands, abortion rates jumped 31% between 1996 and 2003 as a result of a jump in immigration. http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/journals/3310607.html#17
