Who should be responsible for birth control?

Question

The girl, the guy, or both equally?

My opinion is that each should be personally responsible AND as a couple!

Answer 1

I agree with you!!!

Answer 2

Definitely Both.
In terms of a single woman doing the rounds though - it IS her that's gonna be the one left with the baby - that doesn't make birth control any more her responsibility than the guy, but it does mean that it's in her hands in a way - she'll be the one to tell the guy to get stuffed if he doesn't want to use a condom...

Answer 3

The Government should be responsible for birth control... :o)

Seriously though, since guys are considered "irresponsible" and "untrustworthy/unreliable", most of the time by most of the girls, it therefore ends up being the girl who needs to control the birth situation but it should be both.

Answer 4

I make sure I never miss a pill, doubt my boyfriend will remind me about my birth control every morning at 7. Totally my responsibility, not the guy's.

Answer 5

Both

Answer 6

Well, as a woman I know that the bottom line is responsibility rests with me or I pay the consequences. Opinions count for nothing, reality is about facts.

Answer 7

Both

Answer 8

Both equally! If both are willing to have sex, then both should be responsible, otherwise, both should be responsible for the consequence.

Answer 9

I believe both should be responsible. But ya know; you younger ones get all caught up in the heat of the moment and choose not to stop!!!! :+/

Answer 10

both but especially the woman because she knows what she wants and does not want, and if she really doesn't want a baby or an std she will and should be fully prepared with birth control every time she does anything.

Answer 11

Both should be responsible
