  20. Really? Oral contraceptives have a 99.9% method effectiveness.
  21. Do you have peer reviewed studies that show that a 5 day a month
  22. abstinence has a 99.9% method effectiveness? I've asked Ms. Forgach
  23. for this numerous times, but she has refused. Perhaps you will
  24. do better.

  32. Huh? I think that abortion IS a responsible way to deal with
  33. an unwanted pregnancy.
