It seems like many people (quite understandably) bring up birth control when abortion is discussed. Pro-life people say "you should have used birth control," pro-choice people say "pro-lifers should make birth control more available."
But no birth control substance or device is 100% effective.
So what now? The man and woman were being "responsible," yet there is still an unplanned and unwanted pregnancy.
Legally, what would people think should happen? MORALLY, what do people think?
Yes, there is a legal principle that no one - even a doctor who botched a vascectomy - is liable for damages if a live, healthy baby is born. But we could change that. Should Trojans set up a scholarship fund? Hey, McDonald's is being sued, so anything's possible.
Have fun with this one - I'm not sure I'd know how to answer myself, off the top of my head!
