Sure I read what you wrote. The line you quoted With nearly 40 percent of all pregnancies in the United States unintended, birth control is a critical public health issue. isn't claiming birth control is 100% effective, it's saying that there are a lot of people that might benefit from access.

I posted what I posted because I didn't think it was particularly misleading for the article to state a fact that was important enough to the report to appear in the abstract. Your language But check the actual source also sort of implies that the article had misstated the fact. But it did not.

> it's saying that there are a lot of people that might benefit from access.

Not as many as you would think. The number of people who: 1. want birth control, 2. are unable to get it, 3. had an child as a result, 4. and would have preferred not to, is a much smaller number than the article makes it out to be.

I find that misleading. I don't know why you don't.

These apps are about saving time for people, they will do nothing at all to the national birth rate.

You said:

> But check the actual source and:

And maxericson quoted the actual source, which says

> Results—About 37% of births in the United States were unintended at the time of conception.

It seems the report accurately quoted the abstract, and so I'm confused why you think it didn't.

Because 2. doesn't have to be true for the access to still be important.

I mean, go ask someone on birth control if maintaining access is important to them.
