According to this Florida forced birth* activist, birth control doesn't prevent abortions. [View all]
He claims it causes them.

Andrew Shirvell, executive director of Florida Voice for the Unborn, testified on Monday in favor of a proposed 15-week abortion ban by saying that birth control often fails, which results in people seeking abortions, or in his words: “The contraceptive mentality is what fuels the bloodthirsty abortion industry in our country.”
*I refuse to use the term pro-life, because I consider it dishonest and inaccurate, and because it implies that anyone who supports access to safe, legal abortion is "pro-death," which is patently ludicrous.
