And technically, males and females know exactly when the rubber breaks because the sensation will change., so the excuse that "accidents happen" is a small one. not THAT many accidents happen. and definitely not over and over with the same promiscous irresponsible individuals either.

I know this because was very promiscuous as a young lad but I made darn sure I wrapped it up itight and if in doubt, I pull it out...no excuses...and I managed to not have a child until I was ready to have one.

So all excuses aside, Personal Responsiblity trumps "accidents" anyday. sorry
You weren't responsible--you were really really lucky. And FYI--if the rubber breaks it's already too late to do anything about it.

Hey, you started the OP. Now you don't like the answers? Go cry to someone who cares.

"it's a blob"

is it a "blob at 40 weeks sans 1 day? (full gestation is 40 weeks)
babies have been born at 21 weeks and survived. babies feel pain at 18 weeks.
or is it a "blob" at conception that stops being a "blob" at some point before birth?

If you can't figure it out then I can't help you, sorry. You're simply looking for an argument. You won't get one.

It was common sense to believe the world was flat.
It was common sense to believe that the Earth revolved around the Sun

Abortion is taking personal responsibility by not bringing an unwanted child into this world. Personal reponsibility is about REDUCING risks; risks CAN never be 100% avoided.

Still can't comment on the car accident example I see.

Knowing from an early age why nature devised sex...I never tried to prevent pregnancy unless the woman was firmly insisted...I never wore a condom - If a woman was to become pregnant - I would have been happy and know that I did my duty as a man in this world...if I did not have this attitude - I would just be some old guy sitting alone in a room..Today I have a bunch of adult children...and they gave my life meaning and gave me emotional and material security. It would be very unlucky to not have kids.

Luck my butt. I was FOCUSED AND DETERMINED not to get a female pregnant, That's called Personal Responisbility.

"Lucky" is when you get shot at by a criminal and they miss. Or when you fall 100ft and only break a finger. BIG difference.

It is lucky to conceive a child- It is unlucky to go to the grave childless...In my mind I keep things very simple.

When I was in high school, the condom broke. LUCKY FOR ME, there was no pregnancy. If there would've been, off to the clinic for an abortion. That's called personal responsibility.
