Use of contraception leads to fewer unwanted pregnancies? :mind blown:

I think his point is that the use of condoms is no longer taboo in most households, and in families where sex is something that is spoken openly and honestly about, children are more aware of the consequences of unprotected sex, and are more likely to use contraceptives.

In some ways you can also thank the AIDS epidemic of the 80's and 90's for the movement that promoted safe sex and talking about prevention of STDs and unwanted pregnancies.

There is still a lot left to be desired in sex ed in school, so it is definitely the parents' job to teach their kids about sex and the consequences that come with it.
