Right. The woman consented to sex (which may or may not) result in a fetus (which may or may not) embed in the womb. But the woman who couldn't resist lust and decided to consent to sex has to bear all the responsibilities that befalls on her shoulder even if men don't.

And I've done so. Seriously, why would I repeat myself when I've said this all before already?
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

I mistakedly made a bad arguement that happened to correspond with rape apologists, and you make immaturely made fun of it and added insult to injury after I admitted to making a bad arguement. And yes, I am fucking profane. Call it immature, call it whatever you like, I really don't care.

You do realize that woman just can not have procreative sex on their own, right? But you have the gall to say this:

I chose to have sex. Despite my best efforts, I'm aware that one possible consequence of having sex is pregnancy. I'm also aware that one possible way of dealing with a pregnancy is having an abortion.

Problem solved. I don't have to have a child.
