In my review of the literature on effective policies to reduce abortion, a few minor nuanced discrepancies have come up.

1. Pro-Choicers think we should increase access to birth control

Combining several methods, such as the birth control pill and male condom, prevents the majority of unwanted pregnancies.

Pro-Lifers think we should increase Planned Parenthood protests

Cheery.

2. Pro-Lifers want to improve and expand sex education

Some school districts like in Mississippi even have pastors coming in to give an abstinence only education.

3. Pro-Choices hope to amelioriate rape culture

One in six women has been raped or suffered a rape attempt, but still most rapes are never reported.

Pro-Lifers wish to arm every woman with personal responsibility
