Keep semen out of orifices for general protection against
pregnancy and STD's.
2 or 3 forms of birth control is safer than a vasectomy or a
tubal ligation.
Proof:
We're told that presuming an average of 80-100 sex act per
year, the risk of pregnancy using the condom is 1 in 50 in perfect use, and 1 in
6 in typical use, and that the risk of pregnancy using hormonal birth control
pills is a 1 in 333 in perfect use and 1 in 12 in typical use. This means
at least 1 in 333 couples using hormonal birth control in a given year will
still get pregnant. That's not very good. Multiply that over 10
years, and it's even worse. To calculate the risk of using two forms of
birth control, many people multiply 1 in 50 x 1 in 333 and assume a risk using
both of 1 in 16,650 in perfect use and 1 in 72 (1/6x1/12) in typical use, which
is still pretty bad. However, that is the yearly risk times the yearly
risk. That is like if you took a single die, presumed a 1 in 6 risk of
pregnancy with your birth control, thus the 1 side was pregnancy, the other five
sides were not, rolled the die 2 times for a presumed 2 yearly acts,
did that with another die/form of birth control, again, 2 chances for your 2
acts of sex on your 1 in 6 risk, so 2 in 6 = 1 in 3 risk on each
die/form of birth control , and multiplied 1 in 3 times 1 in
3 calculating a combined 1 in 9 yearly risk, when really it should be 2 in
36 which equals 1 in 18. Because rolling the 2 die together the
risk of snake eyes is 1 in 36, roll them twice for 2 presumed yearly acts, the
risk is 2 in 36. 1/6x1/6=1/36, x2 = 2/36=1/18.
If the rates of pregnancy we're told are based on 100 presumed
yearly sex acts, then the risk of using the condom per year in perfect
use of 1 in 50 must become a risk of 1 in 5,000 per _act_, and the
risk per year in typical use of 1 in 6 must become 1 in 600 per
_act_ . The risk of pregnancy of using hormonal birth control pills
per year in perfect use of 1 in 333 must become a risk 1 in 33,300 per _act_,
and the risk per year in typical use of 1 in 12 must become 1 in 1,200 per
_act_. Therefore, I conclude multiplying 1 in 5,000 x 1 in 33,300 results
in a 166,500,000 per act risk in perfect use and 720,000 per act risk in typical
use, or presuming 100 sex acts, a 1 in 1,665,000 yearly risk in perfect use and
a 1 in 7,200 yearly risk in typical use. If you calculate this out to the
number of people of our society it makes the risk of getting pregnant about
equivalent to dying in a car accident, keeping in mind your individual risk must
be in between perfect and typical use. If you could eliminate the risk of
driving in a car you would, so use three forms of birth control when you have
sex on a regular basis.
If anyone wants to run this by several university
statisticians and inform all high school sex-education teachers and planned
parenthood, good.
Because of the 5 million pregnancies per year, only 2.5
million of them - or half - are planned. Of the other 2.5 million
unplanned pregnancies, 1 million are terminated in abortion and 1.5 million are
brought to term. Thus 1.5 million of the 4 million babies born per year
are unplanned and 2.5 million are planned. 37.5% of the nation
is thus unplanned, due to a lack of a use of birth control, and
this must surely have a negative effect upon the socio-economic status
of our society. Remember half these unplanned pregnancies occur in
people who use just one form of birth control.
Send a memo to the Pope, too. Unsafe sex that takes a
risk with another person's life - the baby's - is immoral.
But sex that uses 2 or 3 forms of birth control is safe and moral, and
birth control should thus be advocated!
