Use of Contraception Drops, Slowing Decline of Abortion Rate
In the article I read, I realized that there is a very similar correlation between the use of condoms and abortion rates as there is to the general rules of economics. When the demand for condoms decreases, the demand for abortions increases. Just as when the demand for the condoms had increased, the demand for abortions decreased because they were less necessary. Although the subject of the article is very different from economics, it is important to realize that the article demonstrates the basic principle that says that if "no babies" are the ultimate goal, then when condoms are not used, another substitute is abortion, which will also produce the same effect. Same with the reverse effect of abortion on condoms. This article is a great example of economic principles.
