Sorry - what is the source of your 85% statistic?
Just in case you didn't know, I am in a senior regulatory and quality assurance position in a condom company, and my data indicates that in normal use, condoms are around 99.5% reliable per year of normal use. I'd be keen to see a peer reviewed study that backs up your numbers.
I'm not sure if you've read "Freakonomics" and I can't quote the specific survey as I lent my copy out, but one of the interesting articles in it covers the fall in US crime rates in the generation following Roe vs Wade.
I think it far better to abort a foetus (sufficiently early and with good controls) than to condemn a child to an upbringing of poverty and disdain, followed by a life of higher likelihood of crime, ill health, social exclusion and so on.
