From what I've heard, it's specifically the ones that Planned Parenthood gives out that are sabotaged. The same with condoms. And it's a proven fact (from Consumer Reports, no less) that Planned Parenthood's condoms are less effective than any major brand for sale.
One thing that annoys me to no end is when people talk as if there was no contraception before the birth control pill. There have been many effective methods for millennia (the most effective, other than abstinence, being avoiding vaginal intercourse altogether for other options). It's just that not everyone is willing to make the effort and/or sacrifice that can come with these methods.
Some couples in the 1920s-1950s would "double up" by using both a condom and a diaphragm at the same time, since the chances of both failing at the same time are extremely low. It wasn't convenient, but it was effective. Other methods of "doubling up" include a condom + the pullout method or a condom + the rhythm method.
The pill increased convenience exponentially, but I think that's been a detriment, since it convinced people to stop thinking of birth control as something you have to work at and put effort into. It bred laziness and sloppiness.
Or use birth control. There are so many other options to prevent rather than use an abortion as birth control.
A whistleblower who was nurse who worked in an abortion clinic, said the birth control pills are purposely meant to fail.
