People routinely get pregnant despite using hormonal birth control. (Condoms are even less effective.) The purpose of sex is having kids, and unsurprisingly humans are very good at conception. If you don’t want to have kids, don’t have sex.


>If you don’t want to have kids, don’t have sex.

How do you square this with your claim in a sister comment of "by virtue of their right to control their own bodies can abort a baby before it is born"


Someone may not want to have a kid and also object to having an abortion for any number of personal and/or religious reasons.


Factually there's no contradiction. But in terms of principles, there seems to be a tension.
