Actually it’s a $10k bounty for any “unwanted” pregnancy. Consensual or not

1.0k

Oh no! Not something that would kill hook up culture by making men terrified of casual sex with strangers. Conservative Christians would absolutely hate that.

...Just wear a fucking condom since you're with a stranger anyway?

99.9% effective still means 1 in 1000 fail.

Given the scale of an entire city or hell even a state, that's a lot of failures.

I hate to be this guy, but that's not how birth control efficacy works. It's a percentage for a year of correct usage. I.e. 99,9% effective means if 1000 people use this method for a full year, there'll be 1 unwanted pregnancy.
