Although I've agreed on all of your other statements, "if you use protection, you're more than likely not to get pregnant" is inaccurate. You would be surprised how many babies are born to those who used condoms especially. They are not as fool-proof as is put out there. From personal experience I can tell you that ermm... malfunctions definitely do happen.
It's not inaccurate though. You have a 15% chance of getting pregnant when you use a condom, but don't forget that other 85%. Like I said, you're more than likely not to get pregnant. 15% is a large number, but 85% is also a large number that you won't get pregnant. Therefore, I don't think I'm inaccurate at all.

As for the statistic, I am quite shocked about the whole "15 out of 100". I didn't know it was such a large number. Thankfully, there's also birth control. If women are too concerned about getting pregnant, I think the investment in birth control will save a lot more money and time than relying on the condom and getting pregnant.

I'm sure that the birth control pill isn't 100% effective either, but another high percentage is another high percentage in my book.
