In her book, pro-choice author and Christian theologian Beverly Wildung Harrison writes:
“Abortion is and always has been a means of birth control… And I believe we must continue to assert that, given the limits of birth control technology, it will remain the birth control method of last resort for many women, whether or not it is legal and/or safe. In fact, for many women it is the most reliable, and, at least when used infrequently, it is safe.”
