From July:

"The Anti–Birth Control Movement Is the New Anti-Abortion Movement"

https://www.vogue.com/article/anti-birth-control-movement

(It could be better, but it's still worth reading if you or someone you know could be facing an unwanted pregnancy someday.)

And to think that one of Amy's allegedly smart blog posters said here, in 2013:

"No woman in the Western hemisphere need bear a child if she doesn't want to."

Apparently, he'd never heard of Ireland at that time.

Or the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Nicaragua, or Suriname. (Abortion is COMPLETELY illegal in those last seven countries. Even to save the woman's life.)

Not to mention only slightly less restrictive nations like Antigua, Brazil, Chile, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, and Paraguay.

But even if he meant to say the U.S., read the article:

"Just ask women in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Mississippi, where abortion access is so limited that women have to drive hundreds of miles to end a pregnancy."

Me again: My point in focusing on abortion is, does anyone really think that the dozen or more American states that can't wait to outlaw it are going to do the logical thing and make safe, effective contraception more easily available to the poor - or the not-so-poor, for that matter? Haven't we all heard of pharmacists who refuse to fill birth control pill prescriptions - and the politicians who won't do anything about that?

If anyone has turned abortion into an "industry," it's been those people who oppose birth control and who do everything to make it difficult for adults to get their hands on it. More unwanted pregnancies mean more abortions, after all.

And, if you want something more scholarly and detailed, regarding the HISTORY of the anti-contraception movement (this is pretty long):

Russell Shorto is a historian.

Last paragraph:

...While Americans as a whole don’t hold such a dark view of comprehensive sex education, many do feel there’s something wrong with a strictly clinical approach. This ambivalence, according to Sarah Brown of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, gets to the root of the problem and may explain the numbers. ​“One of the things I’m most often asked is why the abortion and unintended pregnancy rates are so much lower in Europe,” she says. ​“People talk about the easy access to contraception there, but I think it’s really a matter of the underlying social norms. In Europe, these things are in the open, and the only issue is to be careful. Here in the U.S., people are still arguing about whether it’s O.K. to have sex.”

At least they're trapped on an island.
