NSFG also shows significant increases over the last two decades in the use of contraception at first sex and at most recent sex.

My guess is that increased contraceptive use correlates with more funding for making better decisions.

This specific program was instituted after the big decline had already started. So whatever caused the decline (my guess is smartphones making knowledge more on-hand) is not this program that is being ended 2 years early. That needs to be reiterated because the thread title makes it sound like it's a permanent thing that is being disbanded. It's just having it's funding cut off 2 years earlier than planned. It was never a long term thing.

Increased contraceptive use over the last two decades, or roughly 4 times longer than this program has been running. But people like GMD will ignore that fact because it doesn't mesh with their stance that this move is yet another terrible thing that will ruin our society. It would also ruin their chance at bible jabs, which they would cry their little tears about if bfine or lucie had made the jab towards Muslims.
