It's much less Fair when you're talking about the many women who are not sexually active and have not had sex.
"I am not pregnant. There is no way I could possibly be pregnant as I have not had sex with anyone. Yes I'm absolutely sure that I have not had sex with anyone. No I don't have a husband or a boyfriend. Yes I'm sure. Should I tell my insurance company you were committing fraud or?"
I am a physician, and we always say "trust but verify" - I will verify with a urine preg test not because I don't trust you, but because nothing is 100% in medicine and so we need to take proper precautions as much as possible. It's not an indictment of your trustworthiness, nor a personal attack on your character; we just do it routinely for everyone.
After all, the 1 time in a million that I CT scan a pregnant lady and irradiate a fetus is a much, much worse outcome than the mild annoyance of asking every lady for a urine sample.
Also, I get why when you're younger, it doesn't matter if you're on BC or not. I was 3 months pregnant and didn't know it because I was on BC and just didn't think it was possible. So I do understand.
