Nearly Half of All Pregnancies Worldwide are Unintended and 60% of those end in abortion

6. Or maybe you could just, like, read at least a little of what's in the link.

But since you evidently can't be bothered to go there, here's an excerpt that may give you at least an inkling of why your comment was, well, not really helpful, to put it nicely.

Gender Inequality Is a Core Driver of Unintended Pregnancies

Myriad factors, rooted in gender inequality, are stripping people of their fundamental decision-making power over their bodies. This includes a lack of quality sexual and reproductive health care and information, including preferred methods of contraception, as well as harmful societal norms or stigma around reproduction and bodily autonomy, intimate partner or sexual violence or coercion, and harmful laws and policies. These factors are compounded for people who are already marginalized due to identifiers such as age, marital status, rural or urban dwelling, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, income and education level, or ability.

Unsurprisingly, then, countries with higher rates of gender inequality had higher rates of unintended pregnancy, with just 57% of women able to make their own decisions over their sexual and reproductive health and rights. In a world where nearly 1 in 3 young women are giving birth before the age of 20, can a person imagine a life where pregnancy is a choice, not a given? Do their reproductive intentions even matter?

I would also like to point out that Women’s Rights & Issues is a "group," not a forum, which has a specific meaning at DU, in that "Groups often serve as safe havens for members who share similar interests and viewpoints. Individuals who post messages contrary to a particular group's stated purpose can be excluded from posting in that group."

Furthermore, the Statement of Purpose for this group is as follows: "This group is a place for members to discuss all issues affecting women in the U.S. and globally. Our goal is to keep this forum friendly, polite and respectful. If you agree with the necessity of women's rights advocacy and believe in furthering the legal & cultural rights of women then this is the place for you." https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=about&forum=1138

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think going out of the way to point out that a woman (as well as a man) is involved in every unplanned pregnancy (DUH) does anything to promote women's rights advocacy. It is also, in my view, not particularly conducive to keeping this group "friendly, polite and respectful." Just saying.
