I didn't realize lads used birth control pills. Or is it that "personal responsibility" is a euphemism for having never "scored" in your youth?

When has pregnancy became a goal for collage students ? I believe that if one drives a car, one should pay for their own insurance. So if you wish to engage in unprotected fornication or adultery, you should buy your own protection, after all, it's their choice, not an elective.

You always look on the bright side, unwanted pregnancies constitute an alarming percentage of the children born to married couples, it is not just teenagers. Of course I realize that all you righties are in favour of sex education in high school.

Which is why many parents can't afford college for their children.

Reminds me of the punch line of an old joke:

As the doctor, in his ardor, comes crashing through the door:

Nurse: Dr. Bennett!

Doctor: No, I broke it.

Then we shouldn't prevent strokes by providing blood pressure medications or cholesterol medications to people who over-eat, even though it might save medical expenses in the long run.

We shouldn't provide any medication for smoking cessation, even thought it might save medical expenses in the long run. Just as we should deny treatment for alcohol or drug addiction, or any type of treatment that is in anyway related to a lifestyle choice - even among married people.

I did indeed. However, the person to whom it was directed wouldn't have noticed that in a million years.

Sure, well maybe nature decided that he was not really adding any value to the gene pool.

Maybe, but it was a batting practice fastball, up over the plate.

Getting pregnant isn't a disease, as much as apparently it's considered similar by some. Quite the opposite, it generally means things are working A-OK.
