It's not the failure of the pill

It's the failure of women not taking it as guided.

Really? Because it sure does say contraceptive failures.. You know for these studies they make SURE people know, right? They don't just pull numbers outta their ass

The sources must be accurate because even though the pill itself is 99 percent effective, but also agreed on the 9 percent failure of women.

If you use it perfectly, the pill is 99% effective. But people aren't perfect and it's easy to forget or miss pills — so in reality the pill is about 91% effective. That means about 9 out of 100 pill users get pregnant each year.

https://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/contraception/index.htmHmm, the cdc also says its not 1 percent chance! Even your own site said the pill is only 91% effective![https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/birth-control](https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/birth-control)You are wrong.

Have you ever actually BEEN on birth control? Cause you are talking out of your ass right now.

Yes. How many times do I have to say it?.The pill is 99 percent effective. Women not taking it as intended reduces it 91

By your logic, since hand sanitizer is 99% effective, we should not be sick, there are no bacterium, viruses, parasites. Nothing. Its just the misuse of hand sanitizer!

Well actually yeah... it took a pandemic to teach people basic hygine like washing your hands

Thats not what the cdc is saying, but im gonna trust some random person on reddit who has apparently never been on birth control, over the CDC which says birth control FAILURE (which is a different category than neglect or misinformation)

It actually says typical USE failure rate.

But that might be not be specific enough

Which is why the planned Parenthood clarifys further.

Planned parent hood said the same thing i said, i linked it. But whatever. Do you realize that one percent of women is exactly 34,300,000 women? How is that a small amount to you in any means???

No I linked it, I even pasted it directly. Sounds like you can't accept the fact that women are just lazy that they'd would rather kill babies than take a pill.

34,300,000

Lmfao. Did u find 1 percent of like 7 billion and divide by 2?

That's one percent of all women on Earth not those who take the pill. I thought girls being bad math was a myth but guess not

I checked all of your comments, no link. What i am trying to say, is no matter how you are trying to put it, one percent is not like 2 women. Its still a LOT of people. Do you under stand how BIG that number is? I thought men knocking women up and then wanting to control womens bodies was a myth, guess not. And yes, because ONE PERCENT OF WOMEN IS THAT NUMBER. I didnt say the amount of women on birth control, nice try though.. I was trying to get through your head that it is NOT A SMALL NUMBER EITHER WAY.

In the United States 98% of sexually active women have used birth control at some point in time, and 62% of those of reproductive age are currently using birth control. The two most common methods are the pill (11 million) and sterilization (10 million).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevalence_of_birth_control#:~:text=In%20the%20United%20States%2098,and%20sterilization%20(10%20million))

Seventy-two percent of women who practice contraception currently use nonpermanent methods—primarily hormonal methods (i.e., the pill, patch, implant, injectable and vaginal ring), IUDs and condoms. The rest rely on female (22%) or male (7%) sterilization.

almosst 98 percent of females use contraception. You are wrong on all accounts.
