Shit happens. Condoms break and birth control fails. Let people make their own decisions instead of imposing your beliefs on them just to feel morally superior
Right, so if somebody gets pregnant and doesn't want to be, they can take responsibility and get an abortion, and you can stay they hell out of their business. Problem solved.
Using that hand to dial a phone to schedule an appointment to get an abortion counts as not wanting to use it? I took responsibility when I paid for the abortion, like a gentleman should.
Using birth control = zero responsibility? Wow. Do you have a newsletter?
Exactly, and if the 1% happens you should be allowed to make a responsible decision about bringing a kid into the world or not.
The simpler the 'fact', the more likely it is to be an oversimplification and largely untrue.
In this example, you have to overlook any time someone became pregnant without consent. They never chose it to begin with, so blaming them for "not taking responsibility" for something they never wanted is oversimplifying a complicated subject to the point of falsehood.
It's also especially funny how often this argument comes from people who, in the same breath, will talk about their savior being "of virgin birth". You can't argue that chastity works for everyone when it didn't work for Mary.
