I've been trying to trace this to source, without any luck. The reports that I can find on the National Survey of Family Growth published in Family Planning Perspectives didn't evaluate abstinence at all, only periodic abstinence (the "rhythm method"). I'm wondering whether the Florida Today reported conflated the two? “Indeed, Family Planning Perspectives applied the “perfect” versus “typical” use analysis for various contraceptive methods to abstinence, and discovered that abstinence, as typically practiced, is a better way of getting pregnant than not taking your pill every day.”

No wonder he thinks that heaving sex leads to people being covered in dirt and lint! If only he could use his strange power for good (like joining the X-Men) rather than for evil.
