The manifest function, or intended effect (Henslin, 2014, p. 25), of contraception is to prevent pregnancy resulting from sexual intercourse. However, birth control also has latent functions, or effects that were not intended (Henslin, 2014, p. 25).

    Nevertheless, the economic model of risky sexual activity provides a useful and parsimonious means to theoretically link restrictive abortion laws and risky sexual activity. A focus on economic cost (restrictive abortion laws) does not imply that social, cultural, attitudinal, family, or community factors do not influence a woman’s risky sexual activity. Rather, this approach suggests that restrictive abortion laws may have an independent effect on women’s risky sexual activity.
