So you think that women who have 8+ abortions are evenly spacing them out from their first period all the way up to menopause? I'd argue that women getting that many abortions are probably getting them all within the space of their late-teens through late-20s / early-30s; probably a 15 year window at most. Which is actually a better argument for your side in terms of painting these women as irresponsible (and it's not unreasonable to make that claim about someone who can't seem to figure out other forms of birth control). An abortion every year or every other year is something that even most liberals would raise an eyebrow to and say "really? Come on, lady." But you're glossing over the key issue; this describes an insignificant portion of the overall population of women seeking abortion. 80/200,000 rounds to 0%; that is most assuredly "uncommon."
Agreed, but I still think it's funny that he thinks people only use birth control once every 4.2 years.
