She doesn't give an unplanned-pregnancy rate for having less sex (by which she likely does mean abstinence, Roland, although complete abstinence isn't logically entailed in her argument here).<BR/><BR/>Apologies for my earlier thick-headedness.<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/>--PeterPeter Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810707774675254803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7899696.post-46063663458506738252008-07-04T21:56:00.000-07:002008-07-04T21:56:00.000-07:00I would assume that, given the author's normal com...I would assume that, given the author's normal committments, she is advocating abstinence...<BR/><BR/>And the reason that they cannot propose that solution is because the majority of people they're dealing with do not have the pre-requisite belief sets necessary to seriously suggest the solution.Rolandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086189021209924178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7899696.post-89179725928798336002008-06-27T11:52:00.000-07:002008-06-27T11:52:00.000-07:00I'm sorry; I don't understand the failure rate (pr...I'm sorry; I don't understand the failure rate (presumably rate of unintended pregnancy) of "hav[ing] less sex".
