Where can I find an estimation of the percentage of population growth
in Japan that is due to unintended pregancies?  Where can I find
information pertaining to the rate of adoption of "the pill"
introduced in Japan in 1999.

I have found the number of abortions, would you like that?

I already know where to go to get information about abortion in Japan,
but thank you for the offer anyway.  I don't know where to go to get
an estimate of the number of unintended pregancies.

I would think "intention" or the lack thereof would be very hard to prove in Japan.

What about family planning resources?

I agree with wad. In Japan or anywhere else, there are too many
reasons to lie about weather a pregnacy was intended, unintended or
something in between. My guess is the pill rarely fails, humans miss a
day now and then, and one missed day can lead to a pregnancy. I'll
guess 20% of the pregnancies in the USA last year were unintended by
the female sex partner. 60% by the male sex partner. Is there any
reason we would expect Japan to be different?   Neil
