Here’s some healthy stats for you

Posted by The *Angriest* Pharmacist as Lazy People, Stupid People, Welfare

I just saw a commercial. It really made me think. It was merely a statement with some ‘moving’ pictures. “One out of every three black babies in America is aborted. That’s more than any other disease or cause among any race.” It went on a little bit, but that was the jist of it. Anyway, here are some other stats to consider (these are the numbers I remember from school - correct in comments if wrong):

When considering unprotected sex, only 80/1000 girls will get pregnant the first time (this is called fecundity for those that don’t know). Emergency contraception reduces this number to 20 if used within 72 hours.

In the first year, 85/100 will be preggo just using chance.

Spermicides alone drop that number to 6/100.

Withdrawal only? Yeah, it works okay with 4/100 getting knocked up.

Condoms only? That also drops it to 4/100.

Birth Control pills alone? Hmm…Let’s see…Ahh, yes - that’s 0.1/100!

Norplant is 0.05, but that’s expensive and long term. It also worked too well so it was pulled from the market citing “irregular menses.”

Nonetheless, some of these numbers are pretty low. Let’s fathom this: What would happen if we combined these methods? Ohh my gosh, unplanned pregnancies might cease to exist! But, some punk wants to get his peter wet and we have the problem of 1/3 black babies being aborted. It’s bogus.

Have your homeboy use a fucking rubber *and* pull out if you don’t want mommy and daddy knowing someone is laying the pipe to you by getting some birth control like a person that’s responsible and adult enough to have sex.

Don’t cite expense to me either. That’s bullshit. B/C is cheap. Medicaid in every state pays for it with little to no copay. There are Planned Parenthoods in every major city that GIVE away three months worth merely asking for donations. If you can’t make a donation…oh well, at least you aren’t pregnant or back there asking for an abortion.

In closing, don’t waste millions of dollars putting these gut-wrenching, horseshit commercials on - I’d rather see commercials about beer and Doritos. You pie-in-the-sky people need to pump your advertising and PR budget into something worthwhile, like educating your little bunny rabbits in either a) not making babies or b) using some sort of method of protection when fucking. I’ve adequately outlined what works and what doesn’t above.

Have a nice day…
