This is a simple one, folks. Who is responsible when a pregnancy occurs: the female who did not use contraception the male who did not use contraception both
I voted "both" Assuming we're speaking of consensual sex... Both parties share equal responsibility. Come on, chant with me... Personal responsibility, personal responsibility, personal responsibility!!
Both should make sure to use contraception, instead of relying on ( one or ) the other. One is a hormonal contraception, while condoms, besides being a, not always reliable, contraceptive, also prevents other unwanted consequences. Of course its a bit of a different matter when two committed adults, who trust each other completely, engage in the occasional tumble.
I think the concept of the woman or the man using contraception is flawed. Couples use (or don't use) contraception, even if it is effectively "applied" to one or the other. In general, if you choose to have sex, you choose to share responsibility for the consequences (not withstanding any rare or entirely hypothetical circumstances).
Sorry, but it isn't a simple one. How about the woman who lies and says she's on the pill or the man who lies and says he's had a vasectomy? My wife quit taking her pills in an attempt to get pregnant, we had two kids, and when I asked her she "forgot" her pills, for two weeks. How many men have been lied to by women concerning pregnancy. I've had an amazing number of friends who married pregnant women only to have the women miscarry a week later. Truly amazing. The pregnancy is caused by two people and is the responsibility legally, of only the male.
Which Is why I was fixed when I was finished having kids. And why my son had a vasectomy when HE was finished having children...NO ONE lies to HIM about HIS protection. Thank you for your input.
Very unfortunately, this is absolutely true. The only reason women can't trap me with this is that I don't get drunk easily and I can stand pretty well when they make me feel guilty about not "cooperating" with them.
I put down the male. Whenever multiple people are responsible for something, all it turns into is a blame fest. I can't count how many men sitting around being scumbag deadbeat dads, crying in their beer to their new hoped for girlfriends how they were "trapped" and "tricked" and "lied to". Men, if you don't put it in her, she won't get pregnant. If she gets pregnant, you just signed on for 18 years, and I don't care what kind of a "(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)" she is! Man up!
um i agree halfway with you. i agree that if you get your woman pregnant, or any woman for that matter its a mans simple responsibility to step up and do whats right for his child no matter how much a (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) the woman is. but i also hold true for the woman who willingly spread her legs for the man who stuck it in her. consensual sex is just that, consensual. so if 2 people agree to have sex and they end up with a baby in the oven their first and foremost responsibility is the child they created, no matter how their relationship might end up.
I'm not surprise you can't count the number but that doesn't mean it's a particularly high number. Of course, there are deadbeat dads but have you ever wondered why there are no deadbeat moms. Oh, right, they're not held repsonsible, are they? So, they spend the entire ADC check at the neighborhood tavern, not a problem. And, Finddler, what if the poor male has had a drink and has diminished capacity? Women get to charge the man with rape in such a case. What does the man get? Oh, right, nothing because he's a responsible adult.
I told my daughters many years ago when they started dating , it'd just kill your Momma if you wound up pregnant , but we'll always Love you .. My wife told our daughters it'd just kill your Father if you got pregnant , but we'll always Love you . and taking them to church helped , but it was the Love and Respect for us both as a caring Mom & Dad that made the most differance in their young lives . when the parents care , the kids care . Good kids can make mistakes , and bad kids can rise above their circumstances . Every day brings new joy & heartache , but all a parent can do is the best they can. that's all any one can do ...
Depends. If the woman is on the Pill and the man refuses to wear a condom and she gets pregnant anyway, whose fault is it?
The female is the one ultimately responsible. That is why she is also the one who ultimately gets to decide whether to go through with the pregnancy.
well , in all honesty , the Pill is fine , but it ain't 100 % foolproof ... and , as a man , I have never worn a condom when having sex . but , there is such a thing as pulling out during ejaculation , and I've done that a few times , so it's maybe a matter of luck and control . In my younger days , before I was married , I had sex with a few gals that I figured was trying to get pregnant , maybe looking for a sugar daddy , so I just pulled it out when I came , but I'd rather have left it in , but I had enough control to not ejaculate , gosh , I'm blushing here , but I left them with a mouth full . . ears are wonderful thing to grab ... sort of like a steering wheel , ya know ?
the woman is responsible if she lied to get a baby some women don't take their pills every morning or meet a very handsome and rich guy that they really want to make a baby with to have him in their lives forever. other than that they both are responsible because most guys don't have the motivation to impregnate a rich pretty woman most of the time but sometimes it does happen like kevin federline but he is an exception because he was smarter in the way he did it in that he made her love him
