re: #568 claire

Condoms can break too. And they’re an uncomfortable long-term birth-control solution for a stable couple. Women of reproductive age should get probed and questioned anyhow, regularly, so that early-stage cancers or other genital diseases may be caught and treated. From age 18 and upward, women are supposed to get yearly pap smears for this very reason. But I do agree that guys have it easy, and they can generally do more to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Women always get the shit end of the deal.

Ironic though, that most rabid antiabortion absolutist extremists are against teaching any form of birth control to teenagers other than abstinence. Thinking it will encourage pre-marital sex. And a lot of them are against contraception pure and simple… the “every sperm is sacred” crowd.
