5. Yes, I've had sex ed, and know several sex ed instructors. I'm sorry your sex ed teachers weren't compelling. The "pill" is sometimes prescribed to help regularize periods, or to treat polycystic ovarian syndrome (or other ovarian dysfunction), or endometriosis. Some other forms of hormonal birth control are used for other conditions. I'm not sure how to assess your claim that it's prescribed for "everything."
6. I know Third Way, they're a good group. I used to work with a guy who's in their Nat'l Security program. I'm not sure what you're seeing in their demographics pub. Finding 1.6 just points out that the data is unclear on why more poor women have abortions. Fair enough. I'd point out, however, that the Third Way document lists unplanned pregnancy as the most prominent reason for abortion. Unplanned pregnancy rates are highest (and have risen) among the poor and those with less than a HS education (http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/psrh/full/3809006.pdf, see chart on p. 4).
