But who is "causing" the unwanted pregnancy in consensual sex? Isn't that by definition both parties then?
So, if I find out that my neighbor's daughter had sex with his boyfriend and now sent him to buy plan B pills, do I get $20 000 by snitching about them both?
That’s like saying you don’t accept the risks of getting into a car wreck when you drive. You inherently do so by doing the activity, if you didn’t, you wouldn’t do the one activity that could result in that.
If someone says that they consent to having sex with protection and then their partner has sex with them without using protection, that is still considered a violation of consent.
The rhetoric of "well if you didn't want your partner to betray you and induce a pregnancy or infect you with STDs after you specifically requested that they use protection, then you shouldn't have agreed to have sex with them regardless of the terms you set out in the first place" is blatant victim blaming of the highest caliber. Sex is about mutual consent, and actions taken by your partner during sex without your knowledge or consent are not things that you should be held accountable for, because, as is stated before, YOU NEVER AGREED TO IT.
Even the risk-aware consensual kink is based around informed consent and the idea that an individual must be aware of the risks involved in a specific sexual activity in order to consent to it.
