Right Contradiction

The religious right does not like abortion. We've heard that all. But what confuses me is thier stance against contraception. Their religion does not agree with it, right?

Well, sometimes you have to ask yourself if what you believe in makes sense. If teens (or people) aren't educated about contraception, aren't they more likely to get pregnant? And since they had no intention of having a baby, wouldn't they be more likely to have an abortion?

To me it seems logical, for both sides, really. One side wants to prevent unwanted babies altogether, and the other wants to prevent a religiously frowned upon way of delayed-contraception (abortion).

But this probably doesn't matter, really. What the religious right does anyways hardly ever appeals to me as logical. But for the ones willing to think like I do, just for a second, does it really make sense to do what you are doing?

They are pro-life, after all and we constantly hear their message. So maybe this logical sense can never appeal to them. But to many people, it just might.

And I hope all listen to the logic and the scientific ways of advancing technology and our society.
