The amount of time per month that a women is able to get pregnant is much more than 12 hours or 2 days. Sperm can live in the female body for up to 5 days, and since it takes several days for the egg to travel down the Fallopian tubes and arrive at the uterus, you have to add at least 5 days to that number to say how long per month a woman can get pregnant. I reiterate, for most people in most situations, its possible for about a week.

Fascinating. It's not often I agree with a Mormon.
To be pedantic, while I agree with what she wrote her "24 hour soreness" assertion for vasectomy recoveries is incorrect. I was sore for a few weeks, though only in actual moderate pain for about 36 hours. I'm not recommending against the policy she advocates, just clarifying.

I agree with her argument, but it would help if her facts were correct.
It varies but its possible for closer to a week
Condoms are 98% effective if used perfectly. Planned Parenthood estimates a real-world effectiveness rate of 85%, while the CDC estimates an 82% effectiveness rate
Its more like 75% effective
Yes, they can. Its called precum, and it's one of the reasons the pull-out method isn't an effective method of birth control.
Get your facts straight, then come back and make the same argument and I'm totally with you.
