Men and unplanned pregnancies

It takes two to conceive a child. But it falls to the woman to suffer the discomfort of pregnancy and the trauma of childbirth. So it's really the woman's choice whether to proceed with the pregnancy or not.

The fact is that, whenever you have unprotected sex, you run the risk of pregnancy. Of course, whenever you have protected sex, you also run the risk of pregnancy, although that risk is much smaller. But if you're a man and you're unwilling to do something as simple as putting on a condom, you need to be willing to deal with the consequences - i.e., your baby. And, for that matter, if you're a woman and you don't insist on a condom or other birth control method, you have to accept that you may end up pregnant. Both parties must accept the responsibility for birth control, or accept responsibility for the resulting baby.

Yeah it's such a trauma. It's like getting shot or watching your family die. Why don't we just eliminate pregnancy completely?
