This is right there at the top of the list of terminally moronic statements you've typed.
A little Primary school math for the typers of terminally moronic posts:
(7.3% +4.4%)/100 = a failure rate of 11.7 percent. If all those failures resulted in a pregnancy, and all those pregnancies came to term, there would be 117 children for every 1000 acts of het genital intercourse. The wingnuts would be shitting pineapples over having to pay TANF and SNAP bennies for any of those kids. And if they weren't carried to term, and they were terminated, the swinging dicks headcases of the Anti-Choice brigade would be bombing clinics and murdering doctors left and right.
11.7% failure rate...
"These Badyear tires are top of the line! Don't go too fast, though, Mr. Mirror, you have a blowout at 80MPH in that Escalate of yours, you'll be squished like a bug on the windshield! But don't worry, it's only a tiny failure rate of only 11.7 %."
"Well, the bad news, Mr. Mirror, is that drinking and smoking and fast food and weekend barbeques there in Whiteflightville have clogged your arteries so much it's a wonder your wife isn't out Cougaring! But there's a new drug that cleans 'em out just like drano dissolves grease, grime, and hair! And the studies showed that there's only a tiny chance of a fatality during therapy! Only 11.7%!"
"Fly DirtCheep Airlines! We pass what we save on tripling the maintenance interval to you! We have an 88.3% arrival rate, one of the best in the ultra-low airline industry since President Paul and Congress defunded the FAA! You'll arrive safe and on-time! (usually)"
Did I say terminally moronic? I'm so prone to understatement lately...
Yes, you did say terminally moronic, which describes your entire post since it had absolutely nothing to do with my point.
Tazzy posted those stats as an offering of why the plan b in vending machines would not earn that campus the title of sluttiest campus. In doings, she proved my point for me. This is because if her assertion that the pill doesn't lead to slutty behavior (because it's supposedly for those times when the condom breaks) then 11.7% failure rate means, presumably, an 88.3% success rate.
So (since you like math lessons) that means plan b in a vending machine *should* be un-necessary. However, there it is, just the same. It's there as a "plan a" for those who don't take the proper precautions before engaging in sex, *as well as* for your your lovely 11.7% who experience contraceptive failure, because the 88.3% who don't experience failure don't need a plan b.
