The program does what? Provides free LARCs to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies. If they do, the program is effective. 

So Callie Gables is claiming the program is effective. But, how will we know it is effective later after we already know it is effctive?

Well, we know it was effective because the number of unwanted pregnancies decreased. If a woman doesn't go back and get a second LARC after the first expired doesn't change the fact that the number of unwanted pregnancies was already decreased before the LARC expired and needs to be replaced. 


Let's simplify it to one woman. She gets a LARC. She doesn't have an unwanted pregnancy during the shelf life of the LARC. How do we know it was effective?  Because she didn't have an unwanted pregnancy. Now let's say she doesn't get a second LARC after the first expired. Whatever happens from that point forward doesn't change the fact that she didn't become pregnant up to that point.
