Thanks for an excellent article which covers so many of the circumstances women face. For us, reproduction is not a "one size fits all" circumstance in life.
It is important to also remember that many women have medical conditions that require them to use medications that would kill or damage a fetus if they became pregnant. Birth control for these women is a serious concern and expense. Medical coverage must take into account all their medical issues.
No woman in the U.S. is "required" to use birth control or ever abort a pregnancy. Her medical choices depend on her individual medical health.
