Assuming all of these women use the most effective form of BC (which they can’t all do because of health issues) and they all use it perfectly (which is pretty much impossible) and the birth control is 99.9% (which is what it says on the package) then each year you can expect 74,393 unintended pregnancies a year.
Unless we are going to stop having sex for pleasure and only ever have sex to procreate we can expect that tens of thousands of women a year will have unintended preganancies. It's just not something that can be controlled, not even with the best birth control. And whether you are scarred teenager or an adult, you should have choices.

Thank you. Excellent post. I have one more addition.
Hoosier: Do you know many rapists who would stop to put on a condom?
So many married men complain that their wives aren't wanting to have sex often enough. Why do they think this is? Perhaps they really don't want to get pregnant.
