Lol what a deluded take. FYI birth control is 100% effective when used correctly. The 99% effective is just people doing dumb shit like missing dosages, breaking or using expired condoms.

That's not true at all and no company selling any type of birth control would make it. Most claim between 95-99% with perfect use. There's so many things that can go wrong from drug interactions, undetected movement for coils to illnesses that even when used perfectly no contraceptives have 100% coverage. People have given birth with the coil stuck to their babies because it failed. A mild stomach bug or any number of medications can lower the effectiveness of oral contraceptives. In date condoms break or can slip. Even sterilisation and vasectomies can heal. There's no such thing as 100% contraceptives in straight relationships there is only abstinence which is not usually acceptable in marriages.

All of this sounds like user error

A coils and IUDs are placed by trained medical staff and sterilisations and vasectomies healing are not error or controllable by the person getting them.
