“I swear honey, I had not had sex with anyone. Maybe I got pregnant when I used a public bathroom and there was something in the seat.”
C’mon! Even Jesus involved Divine Intervention! Maybe women are getting pregnant in this day and age via a virus attacked in an email or app,
But that is fanaticism for you.
Now I go get my coffee.
What a maroon. Abstinence has a 100% success rate…WHEN one adheres to it. ?
This poor person….I know exactly how this happened.
States were teaching “Abstinence is the only 100% effective way to prevent STDs and pregnancy.” This was referred to as “Abstinence-only Sex Ed.”
As Rick notes, it only works if you adhere to it.
So, what were all the news stories about? “Abstinence-only sex ed is failing because teen pregnancy is still a thing that happens.”
So this person, a moron, read stories like that and their takeaway wasn’t that abstinence-only sex ed doesn’t reduce pregnancy, it was that abstinence doesn’t reduce pregnancy.
And each of this person’s 3 votes count just as much as your one.
The stork brings the lil white babies
The raven brings the lil black babies.
The swallow brings the lil NO babies.
This is the result of smart people saying truthful things badly.
When they study different “methods” of birth control they study results.
Q: what method of BC do you use?
A: abstinence or the pill or condoms or vaginal spermicide.
Q: in the last 12 months, did you get pregnant?
A: yes or no
Take the total number of yes answer and divide it by the total number of women if child bearing age asked and you get an effective number.
As long as the sample is truly random it is a good number.
It takes into account such things as how old is that condom, did you apply the jelly correctly, did you have your diaphragm in, did you really keep his penis out of your vagina.
My second child was unplanned, we asked “what is the best contraceptive?” Of her obgyn, his answer was “diaphragm, with early abortion”.
So, in the jargon of those that study this stuff, method includes how well you use your method.
This very smart person uses his jargon in a place where people are not listening to jargon and says something that is incredibly stupid sounding.
People laugh at him because what he says it’s stupid sounding. And then all the elites laugh at all the “hicks” that were to stupid to know he was using good sciency terms.
Not that they knew it was “science”jargon when they first read it, but being elites it is ok to lie about when you learned something that “everyone knows”
Sounds to me like the tweeter is using “abstinence” for “rhythm method.”
So they get in a slam at a pro-lifer and have a way to deny doing so.
The tweeter could be equating abstinence to “no penetration.” Lots of ways to deliver the little swimmers without actually sticking parts in. Could result in pregnancy. Technically, under that definition, there is a higher than zero percent chance of getting pregnant.
