One of the biggest plus point for condoms is that both the partners can be confident about whether it's being used or not. IUD may be verify effective but as a male, I have to trust my partner that she is using IUD. Of course, this is not important when couple already trusts each other and are committed. [Similar logic applies for vasectomy]

This also ignores the obvious issue of data leakage. You work/live in a location with objections to the use of birth control. What's stopping your boss from covertly finding out who among his employees is "sinning" or what have you.
Also IUDs are solely for BC, and require (out patient) procedures that fall under the 'religious' exemptions. So you don't get coverage for that either.

Not to mention the social aspects. "Awww yeah baby, let's do this thing. Let me just... take out my RF scanner and verify that you have an IUD."
From the chart in the article I'm surprised the pill has such a poor performance record of 6-12 pregnancies out of 100 women. When I was in high school, university and in my 20's almost all the women I knew were on the pill and I didn't hear once about an unplanned pregnancy or abortion. Infact all the women I know joked about how they were surprised when they went off the pill how easy it was for them to get pregnan…

I might be an outlier and I've also got the benefit of free health care and sexual health clinics being in the UK, but it seems like sensible practice to not stop using condoms until you've both had an STD screen - which takes all of ten minutes plus a week to get results - just to be safe. Especially since it's possible to have an STD while also being unaware of it.
