There was a theory that roughly 15 years after Roe v Wade crime started decreasing because people who weren't ready for or didn't want children could now have an abortion. Many of those kids that were previously born "unwanted" were in poor households and so the kids getting to about 15 years old in those conditions would start getting into trouble and start committing crimes.

For any fuckwit that says "make better decisions then! Use protection!" I'm the result of a broken condom, that shit absolutely happens. I was a "pleasant surprise." Honestly I wish they'd have just had the abortion.

My sister had her first child because her birth control failed due to another medication making it less effective.

No one warned her about that being a thing that can happen with that particular med. Not her doctor. Not the pharmacist. No one said a thing.. which is super fucked up. She was married at the time, but still. They were not ready for a kid(their words)

This was almost 20 years ago so I don't remember which med it was, and I'm hoping the medical community is better about this now.

PSA: Antibiotics will make your birth control less effective.

Also no they do not warn most people about that.

I thought I read that grapefruit can also cause problems with certain ones
