That is one of the fair criticism of the paper. But, when Callie Gable analyzed the data she was guilty of blatant conformational bias by accepting data which supported her opinion while rejected data which didn't.
Quote:LARC's certainly are effective at preventing pregnancy.
Seems the researchers, Callie Gable, and you agree they are effective at reducing unwanted pregnancies.
Quote:But that's not the question. The question is did this program have a positive effect on decreasing something that was already in decline and declined in places this program was not present? I think it's safe to say it had SOME effect, but to the point where it should be implemented at tax payer expense? That's a different story. (I'm not saying it does or it doesn't; just that more research is needed.)
How many abortions need to be prevented for a program like this to be deserving of tax payers dollars?
