This does not apply to Catholic colleges. At least according to the article, the proposed legislation covers “all California State University and University of California campuses.”
The oral contraceptive (both the combined contraceptive pill and the protestogen-only pill) have a typical use effectiveness rate of around 91%. .Around 9 in 100 women using the combined pill will get pregnant in a year.
So say you've got 10,000 undergraduate women at your university, and say further than all are sexually active and all are on the Pill. Expect 900+ surprise pregnancies per year from this group.
The various jellies, jams, foams, sprays and barriers are much less effective. and yield a much higher pregnancy rate. Except for the condom, not one of them protects against STI's, and some even enhance risk for viral, retroviral or bacterial STI's.
The LARCs (Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives) --- injection, implant, patch, ring, IUD --- while about 99% effective for preventing pregnancy, are ALL associated with elevated STI rates as well as stroke, thrombosis, depression and (ironically) decreased libido..
Enjoy.
Conception occurring is a success rate.
