I'm not sure what examples you'd give of "stigmatizing of sex" and how lowering that stigma would result in fewer unwanted pregnancies, but as for "how would we get there?" you'll no doubt be reassured to notice that most states in the US are closer to achieving proper support for adoption than they are to outlawing abortion. The fact that people can (in principle) travel across state lines for both adoption and abortion is probably also reassuring to you.

I, uh, guess you didn’t grow up in the South in a Christian family. The stigmatization of sex seems pervasive if you have been involved in the south or conservative religions.

I never was taught that cold sores are a virus transmitted via saliva contact, including sharing a glass, ditto for mono. I was just told kissing or engaging in sexual behavior led to terminal illness or pregnancy. Also if one becomes pregnant there is strong pressure from parents on both sides to marry and raise the child despite a total lack of maturity or social or romantic connection. This is the experience of many Americans.

How do you define proper support for adoption? How can you measure that on a scale of that vs a scale from outlawing abortion to proper abortion? Also what is proper abortion?

A strong factor of oppression is a restriction on mobility. For a 15 year old girl, how does she ask for a ride to the next state? When I was 15 I felt shady riding my bike ten miles. We are almost certainly going to talk past each other. Good day to you.
