After reading the commercials as posted a few times I realized  that
certain groups of people could interpret it as pro-abortion and cause
problems for the networks.  I would like to see some less ambiguous
commercials.  Instead of talking about 'unintended pregnancies' how
about the actresses and actors talking about how they are not going to
take any chances, even though there is still a small chance with
contraceptives.

In my opinion, lack of experience with reality is the biggest cause
of unwanted/teenage pregnancies.  A lot of teenagers who know about
birth control do not think it will ever happen to them.
