That brings up an interesting off-topic point.  Just what constitutes an
"unwanted pregnancy?"  I'd venture to say that "Christian values" bring
about MORE unwanted pregnancies than sane, unencumbered rational values. 
I seriously doubt that most stereotypical Christian fundamentalist or
Mormon women with 8+ children WANT all these pregnancies; rather, the
pregnancies are often UNwanted but they are slave to what they believe is
"God's role for women."  Married women during the early days of Margaret
Sanger's crusade often dreaded their next pregnancy.  I believe this
explains much of fundamentalist women's resentment toward feminists. 
They resent women who aren't burdened by the fear and subjugation that
they are; jailbirds always resent the free.

Who's really having the unwanted pregnancies in a "Christian values"
society?  One guess is all you get.  Or need.

Any system of "moral values" that induces a society to dislike or fear
people simply because they are different or live differently eventually
results in a deterioration of quality life in that society, not an
improvement of it.  True moral values are observable in how a society
treats its members; fear based "religious values" tend to divert a
society's attention FROM genuine ethical values.
