1) My bet is a vast majority of those "unplanned" pregnancies potentially fall into the gee I won't do anything and if I get pregnant let's see if he goes for it, or, if you like, the "sort of" intentional category. Either that, or its the aliens again...
2) In response to the related article referenced at the bottom I didn't know that
"Blueberries slow tumor growth". Another solid piece of reporting from the WSJ...
Perhaps, along with reading,writing, and arithmatic, we should be teaching commonsense. What an interesting final exam that could be.

"I see these cases all the time". The very convenience of oral contraceptives has led to a dismissal of the potentially deadly side effects they carry with them. Be an informed user--the pill is not for everyone.
, atViking Kaj is almost surely correct. Though I'd say a second large category is "heck, I'll take the risk because I don't think it's the time of month when I'm ovulating....."
