... just how low an opinion of women in general does Ellen Kurz have?
I mean, here, she's asserting that women are such sluts that, even if threatened with prosecution for attempting to kill a baby, they are such irredeemable libertines that they'll be unable to resist their most primitives urges, like some kind of animal, and end up pregnant anyway.
That's not what I think - that's what she thinks!
Because she's a feminist.
Their primitive urges would dictate they try and stay safe throughout the pregnancy and raise their child until it’s able to survive on its own.
I was at the doctor's office recently looking at a PSA for contraception chart in the waiting room.
It claimed that 85% of reproductive age women will be pregnant after 12 months with no birth control method.
Seems high.
That sounds utterly insane in a first-world nation. Maybe in the 3rd world I could believe that but not in any developed country.
It's probably like COVID modeling where it assumes coitus at peak fertility every month for a year straight.
It subsequently claimed that the rhythm method cuts it down to 25% and pulling out to something like 20%.
Birth control pills were around 15% and IUDs were around 0.2%.
Come to think of it, maybe the chart was made by an IUD manufacturer.
I know pulling out isn't 100% but the idea that a couple that is consistently pulling out is more likely than not to conceive within a year is ridiculous. e: misread "to" as "by" so this is probably still way to high but it's in the ballpark of believability.
They added "With no birth control method", so being in a 1st world country changes nothing.
Pretty sure 85% is a bit low too, most reproductive age women are sexually active these days (yes, kids are starting younger and younger), and without any form of birth control, most would end up pregnant.
It's the worst kind of self-reporting DAE comment.
"DOES ANYONE ELSE INTENTIONALLY GET PREGNANT, SO YOU CAN GET AN ABORTION, AND THEN ASK THE DOCTOR TO KEEP SOUVENIRS, LIKE SEVERED FINGERS?"
"... WHAT THE FUCK! NO!!!"
"What? You don't? Well, I mean, everybody does it."
"NO! NO ONE DOES THAT!"
"uhhhh."
"DO YOU DO THAT?!!!"
"What? Me? Noooooo. No one does that. It was just a question."
