70% is NOT "highly effective" if the availability of condoms increases sexual activity. Condom availability surely raises the incidence of HPV. 70% is much better than the 0% we would have, if groups like "No Room For Contraception" got their way and made contraceptives more difficult, if not impossible to get.

By your line of reasoning, the gun grabbers could say "Bullet availability increases the incidence of people being shot".

You want to abstain? Fine. You want to tech your kids to abstain, great, it should be PART of the required curriculim in health classes, but not the be all and end all of birth control/STD prevention teaching. People are going to have sex, teens are going to have sex, unless someone finds a way to prevent sex until marriage (And frankly it's none of the churches', anti-contraception groups or anyone elses business what goes on in the bedrooms of consenting adults. Many people do not and will not abstain, I'd like to see that they have a chance, even a 70% chance, to avaid std's and pregnancy.
