Operative word: Theoretically. Not the same as in practice. You know this.

And aside from that, "Morons might fuck it up" doesn't strike me as a valid argument for not having sex outside of marriage.


It's true. If that's the argument people are going to use, they might as well also argue against driving cars or flying in airplanes.

Hare, as far as I am aware, the 1% chance of failure statistic was quantified because you can't call anything "infalliable" without getting sued somewhere along the way. Aside from that, since the risk is so small as to be negligible, basing an argument on said risk seems, well, disingenuous. To say the least.

Not just morons. Even perfectly intelligent people can fuck things up, especially if they are having sex regularly. Humans are not infalliable.

True, but intelligent people are not only less likely to screw up, they're more likely to actually take precautions in the worst place.

Notwithstanding the agendas of the various service providers out there today, one thing rings true; it's good to know that you have choices, and proper avenues to exercise them. However, the most important point to remember, is that the choice, is ultimately yours. No one can force your hand, so take this opportunity to educate yourself, and to further assist you in making informed decisions.

Are you talking about abortion or trying to sell us a new phone provider?

Is your obscure statement, perchance, directed at my post?

Indeed it was. Sorry, I forgot you don't understand our human conceit of humour.

In that case, the answer is neither. There was no mention of either, in my post. English, simple a language as it may seem, can sometimes prove to be a little overwhelming for some. I'm sure that, if you took the time to read it again, you'll eventually grasp the gist of it.

No apology necessary, my good dog.

While my grasp on English is occasionally substandard, my recognition of the vague platitudes usually spewed by those attempting to sell some manner of expensive and utterly worthless contrivance is second to none. As such, I took it upon myself to draw attention to them.

You have repeatedly demonstrated, that your grasp of English, is most undeniably substandard. So, modest admissions aren't required. Nevertheless, where, or what, is the contrivance that you're referring to? Please do "draw our attentions to them".

I've been on the Planned Parenthood website to see what kind of information they give women about abortions and it's completely rediculous. They don't tell you anything useful, they only sugarcoat everything. They beat around the bush and make it sound like it's going to be ok. They don't tell you what really happens during an abortion.

I'm completely against abortion, and the Planned Parenthood website makes me angry with the information that they don't give women.

The website isn't responsible for detailing the process; that's what the counselling sessions prior to the abortion are for. If people want to look up what happens during an abortion, there are plenty of other resources with which to do that.
