Abstinence. (http://birthcontrol.lifetips.com/faq/118537/0/what-is-the-most-effective-birth-control-available-on-the-market-today/index.html)

After finding the answers to these questions I was kind of surprised by some of the answers I got. For example infant morality is the death of a baby a year old or younger. I never knew there was a specific name for that and it was that common for a baby to die around that year of age. Another surprise to me was the percent of births caused by rape, and that was 5 to 10 percent which I think is a lot because if your really think about the actual number babies being born out of that percent is around thousands of babies and that is a lot of unwanted babies. In my opinion I think that there is a possibilty of more unplanned births in the world than planned but some people choose just to live with and see how they might end up in life or having the baby a better idea than having a abortion.
