Banning abortion is not the answer

One thing I have learned over the years is that you have to work with facts as well as reality when trying to find a solution to a problem. One problem, according to some, is abortions.

The cause of abortions are unplanned and unwanted pregnancy. The solution, still being stated by many, is banning abortion and teaching abstinence. The solution has proven, however, to be ineffective. So where do we go from here? Maybe, to reduce the amount of abortions, we could look at communities' sex education. We can continue to teach abstinence while offering forms of protection, such as condoms and birth control. We could allow Planned Parenthood to do more in our community. The organization can help teach sexually active people how to protect themselves so they don't get to the point where an abortion is needed.
Banning abortion and only teaching abstinence has proven to be a faulty solution in the past. What would make it work now?
