"No!" says Planned Parenthood's own research.  That's right, Planned Parenthood, a major distributor of birth control in our nation as well as a major provider of abortion in the United States proves that birth control fails. This means using birth control results in unplanned pregnancies. Birth control can also result in STD's (Sexually Transmitted Diseases).  

 

Recent research (September 29, 2008) indicates that use of birth control (contraceptives), does not lower the rates of abortion. Sadly, Planned Parenthood as well as many "human development" courses in schools throughout the United States promote birth control as a means to avoid pregnancy.

 

One thing that makes this research most credible is that the data was collected and analyzed by Planned Parenthood's own research arm, Alan Guttmacher, Inc (AGI). This means that Planned Parenthood disproved its own foundational premise...that birth control prevents pregnancy and, therefore, lowers the need for abortion.
