It's not a 100% effective, but it's pretty damn effective, the thing is most people aren't using it properly even though they think they. Kind of like the people who claim they wear a mask but the mask they wear doesn't fit properly or they have it hanging off their noses[list]. |
| Are you in finance or law OP? Did you previously have a career in the military? ARe you opposed to nannies and daycare and what your wife to stay home? How do you feel about moving to Texas? |
::raises hand:: abstinence |
1. Not a form of birth control. 2. How does abstinence prevent pregnancy if you're raped? |
I guess the pill isn't birth control either because you can still get pregnant if you are raped even on that. |
The pill prevents most pregnancies. Abstinence has a much higher failure rate. Sorry. Like I said, it's not 100% effective. |
| OP, I know this thread has derailed but very early in the pandemic I was diagnosed with COVID and I was about 14 weeks pregnant. The doctors didn’t have a lot to go on at that point but they assured me that based on similar diseases that it shouldn’t pass he placenta. I was fine and have a healthy four month old now. I was in a study and of almost 200 pregnancies, all moms and babies turned out fine. Tell her to look at the UCSF study. Congratulations! |
| By the time she has the baby we should be in a much better place pandemic wise. I am struggling to conceive and the pandemic is not high on my list of concerns. You can social distance while pregnant... |
It is 100% effective, if you don't have sex you can''t pregnant, a rap is non consenual sexual intercourse, thus no abstinence. And even with your new argumen t you can't claim the pill as birth conrol because it's not 100% effective. |
She's a health care worker so unless she's able to switch to a work at home role she's in a high COVID risk position and won't be able to get the vaccine. I understand her worries. I do hope she is able to enjoy it though, just so in the future she won't look back with regret. |
I see you passed Human Sexuality 101. Not |
I never claimed something had to be 100% effective to be BC. You claimed abstinence is 100% effective, it is not. For future reference: "consensual","argument", "control". |
| I just had a beautiful baby |
| And my OB said she's seen hundreds of pregnant women w covid in the hospital. All were fine. |
? If I don't have sex or get raped I am not getting pregnant. If I don't go in the ocean I'm not getting bitten by a shark either. That is 100 percent effective. |
