It’s a simple fact they don’t want to hear. Zero responsibility.
Using birth control = zero responsibility? Wow. Do you have a newsletter?
It's a percentage based precaution (efficacy). Even at 99%, it's not perfect. You take that 1% risk, as a responsible adult.
Exactly, and if the 1% happens you should be allowed to make a responsible decision about bringing a kid into the world or not.
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
Or you know, take responsibility. Every action has a consequence.
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.
Or not get pregnant. Everyone has a hand, but no one wants to use it.
I got a wave of Kamala activity in the past hour. Must be California coming home from protesting.
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.
Money says the way you take responsibility is by being an emotionally retarded 40-yo virgin. Fuck me man, just say it out loud. "Females won't touch me."
I know exactly what you look like just by your sentence.
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.
Who becomes pregnant without consent outside of rape victims (which is an entirely low population compared to those with abort for reasons outside of that)? If you have sex voluntarily, you consent to the possibility of pregnancy. So yes, it IS very simple.
