Isn’t 99% about the same as pharmaceutical birth control?
“Isn’t 99% about the same as pharmaceutical birth control?”
No, not even close... With pharmaceutical birth control, it’s a little over 99% when the female is fertile. It ends up being an order of magnitude difference.
No. The Pill must be taken with precision to get that level of effectiveness. If you miss a dose by one hour you’re, err, screwed.
The best choice for a Catholic family is sterilization rather than birth control. Also a sin, but a one time deal rather than every week for years.
