When you have sex between a man and a woman, whether you use birth control or not, abortion availability or not, there's a chance that a living child will result from your act. You may want to abort, but your partner may not. Every time a person engages in sexual intercourse that should be part of the mindset. Are you willing to fulfill your responsibility to your child? That means loving them and supporting them into adulthood. If you, or our teenagers, think that this isn't part of the equation, then we've failed them. The other possibility is that we just don't care about our children which, unfortunately, is often the case. We just want to have fun and don't care about the consequences.So because of a teeny tiny chance that an unwanted child may result even if people are careful, we should just tell kids not to have sex at all (which they'll definitely ignore, btw) and not tell them how to turn a seriously high chance of an unwanted pregnancy occurring into a chance so insignificant that they could bang 10 different men every night for 5 years without worrying about getting knocked up if they wanted to?
I'm far more worried about STIs than pregnancy myself. Pregnancy can be ended with a couple of pills easily enough, which is also true for most STIs; but some STIs can't be cured with a course of antibiotics and will stay with you forever and possibly kill you or render you infertile. But yeah, let's withhold information that could save their fucking lives because... Unplanned children exist? Wait, is that your argument?? That doesn't make any sense.
