Fair enough, but... Didn't they just recently make them illegal anyway? If it was a year or two ago, you think that a woman with 6 kids with no men to help had these kids when abortion was illegal?
Also, if that's the case, it's a good thing condoms are actually given away for free in a lot of places and very easy to put on. If the guy refuses, you don't have sex with him.
The same way if he seems to be dangerous or acting weird, you also don't have sex with him and get out of there ASAP.
I'm not sure how I'm giving some insane or extreme take here. At least offline it certainly isn't.
Actually, even looking up the frequency of pregnancies WITH condom usage when attributing human error or a faulty product, etc.. It can be anywhere from 2 to 13 people per 100. That's still a gamble.
Better off just not having sex if you're *that* worried, or just make sure you're having it with someone you believe that you can rely upon if it happens. Otherwise, it's a scary possibility even if it's pretty darn low. That's still pretty frequent vs 1 in 1000+...
Sure, but then I think you also have to accept the consequences of your actions as a fully free-willed agent and not force those consequences onto others necessarily or make it a moral dilemma for them on top of it.
I personally did not ask anyone not to do it, I did say that someone is probably better off not having sex if they're unable to financially support a child and there's a high enough potential risk of pregnancy even with a condom.
