Here's my take. Personally I am against it unless there's a serious health or life consideration. Sex is a choice. Do it have a baby so deal with it. Now this is just a thought to get a perspective.
What if the law said abortion was legal but all lives involved are to be terminated. The man, woman and fetus. How many people would go for that?
In short I say you do you because if your a believer only you will have to answer to your God.

So being forced to have an unwanted child is the punishment for having sex?
A full third of American women of child-bearing years won't go near the pill because they know of its potential risks and side effects. 2/3's of women that try birth control pills go off them within 3 months due to the side effects. Odds are VERY GOOD that the woman you have just met on Match.com is running without an effective form of birth control protection, regardless of her socioeconomic status. Wrap that rascal. Sadly, condoms and coitus interruptus (and abstinence) remain, in 2015, the main go to's, for everything sexual: disease prevention, contraception and family planning. I'll say it again: Smartphones have undergone more research and development in the last 5 years, than birth control technology has in the last 50.

Because the birth control technology can really f@ck you up, and the companies are hesitant to be the first massive lawsuit.
No, but I thought I felt a very small earthquake yesterday.

I wouldn't be here either, but I might have had a much happier life than being born to parents who didn't want kids.

And if your claim were true, PP would open their books for an audit. But they won't, because money is fungible.
Most of the "funding" PP gets is in the form of reimbursements from services provided. But do you really want them to stop their services if they don't get reimbursed? One town tried it and now they're having an epidemic of HIV infections. Turned out PP was the only place in the area where people could get tested.
