Then you didn't really miss anything.

No one at all, actually.

And while you say well life isn't fair I point out that human sacrifice is immoral. Forcing a woman to go through a pregnancy she doesn't choose is to tell her that her life is less valuable than a clump of cells in her uterus.
I agree. I'm just saying everybody implicitly accepts risks if he/she knows there is a 1% or 0.5% chance of pregnancy, it doesn't mean you have to take the consequences, it just means you are aware of the risks. I'm aware of mine, not because I want, but because I acknowledge the highly unlikely possibility of failure
Oh, you have consequences alright. You have to make an appointment to get the unwanted leach removed. You have to endure a wistful moment or too. And sometimes you have to endure a blowhard asshole telling you how immoral you are. (Fuck them.)
