From the book Pregnancy and Abortion Counseling, which trains clinic workers and offers examples of patients. This clinic offers birth control in addition to abortions. But they find that many women who come in for abortions were not using birth control:
“There are many couples who do not want a pregnancy, yet still have sex without using any contraception. Frequently women only come to the doctor or clinic for the first time when they are already pregnant or think they are. Approximately 25% of first medical appointments at the Brandon Centre are for a pregnancy test.”
