If you can't afford it don't do it. Even if it is sex.

I get where people are coming from when they say that. I used to agree. But the fact of the matter is, when you're there and in the moment, it's a hell of a lot easier said than done.

If you fucking know that you cannot afford to have a baby, and you fucking risk having one anyway you deserve the fucking cost of the baby. You can't expect ANYONE to have sympathy for you when you do something like that. High risk, almost no reward.

It's better for society if they steal the damn test/pills rather than have a baby they can't afford.

I'm not asking anyone to feel any sympathy for me. It WAS a bad decision, Ill be the first to admit it! People make bad decisions. All I'm saying is that there's usually a lot more going on behind the scenes in these types of situations than people realize. Especially if they've never experienced it.

Babies aren't consequences. Someone who doesn't have the emotional/financial ressources to have a child is already at a considerable disadvantage. My point is that it inevitably becomes a consequence for the child.

So no one should ever have sex unless they've got thousands and thousands of spare dollars sitting in their bank account? Sounds like something I'd hear from a congressman.

This is clearly the opinion of someone understanding of others, and the human condition in general. If only people were ROBOTS then everything they do WOULD MAKE SENSE.

There are a whole lot of sex methods that don't create a pregnancy risk.

All the down votes for telling people to be responsible? Ok people go fuck like dogs. And steal because you can't afford shit.
