What a pile of crap.It's your body;your responsibility.
"During college, it might be easier to use birth control pills," she says. "Once you get out and start your career, you may find that it's difficult to take your pill every single day."
If you find it difficult to take a pill everyday imagine how hard it will be to take care of an infant 24 hours a day. - Greengoo, on 04/20/2009, -0/+92Don't be a fool - cover your tool.

3) The media

- inactive, on 04/20/2009, -5/+72I don't mean to sound like a douche, but perhaps the media's portrayal of consequence-free sex has something to do with it? I mean, it's not the only thing, to be sure, but if you really haven't had any education about safe sex, and you see all these movies where people have sex without any mention of protection and no unintended consequences (unless there's a deliberate joke/point to be made), I'd think you'd be liable to get the wrong idea.
- inactive, on 04/20/2009, -7/+70It is society's responsibility to drill in the importance of using protection if you are going to have sex. We're just such goddamn prudes that we can't bring the issue up. There is a lot of misinformation out there, and clearly not enough people, especially teens, are getting the information they need.
- Hercules, on 04/20/2009, -2/+60My wife went off the pill for a weekend.
I'll be a father in October :) - inactive, on 04/20/2009, -1/+51That's like saying car accidents happen because people drive in cars: true, but unhelpful.
- Jforsyth89, on 04/20/2009, -0/+46"Sometimes they used condoms; sometimes they didn't. Migala tried to keep a chart of when she was fertile so she would know when to use a condom. Then she got pregnant."
Dumb ***** ideas like this are the reason "accidents" happen. - Fabbyfubz, on 04/20/2009, -12/+57I had a baby, it was delicious
- Tooooon, on 04/20/2009, -0/+451. Wear a Condom
2. Take Birth-Control Pill
Chances of accidental pregnancy reduced quite a bit. Wasn't that hard? - lisaawesome, on 04/20/2009, -1/+46I'm always surprised by the number of people who disregard birth control. They will sit there and tell you they never wanted to have a child but then admit they never bothered to use the pill or a condom or anything. It's like saying I don't want to catch on fire so I'm going to cover myself in gasoline and play with these matches. What the hell?
- cyrusuncc, on 04/20/2009, -6/+50"it's not my fault, it's always someone else's fault."
boo-freakin-hoo - cyrusuncc, on 04/20/2009, -5/+49Personal responsibility doesn't exist anymore...
- BlackOculus, on 04/20/2009, -2/+45And yet it seems if you want to have kids, you have to jump through a billion rings of fire to just to do it.
- duewydo, on 04/20/2009, -1/+42I am not kidding here, why don’t we have a male birth control pill yet? I would be on that in a second if I could.
Condoms suck and smell.
Most female birth control have unwanted side affects...
Unless I grew a horn on my head, I would take just about any other side affect for a male pill.
Oh yeah, and if you are in a relationship with a girl on any kind of hormone pill patch etc. Trust me, doesn’t work so well if they are also on antibiotics… - Rain12913, on 04/20/2009, -2/+391. Babies smell like *****. Most of the day. The smell of burnt rubber for a few seconds before sex > the smell of ***** all day.
2. Getting pregnant makes you fatter and can cause acne too. - Tyrghast, on 04/20/2009, -0/+35Don't knock Kansas, "Carry On My Wayward Son" is a karaoke staple!
- shawns, on 04/20/2009, -7/+41I can think of TWO reasons accidental pregnancies happen: Sex
- anteup, on 04/20/2009, -1/+29+ Even with insurance hormonal stuff costs a lot of money. Mine is 40 dollars every month WITH insurance. Know what else costs money? Paps. Know what you need to get HBC? Paps. Oh, doctors appointments aren't cheap either. I don't see why that should be 100% the girls cost. Dudes, you're participating too. Help your girlfriends out.
+ The side effects of HBC freaking BLOW. You don't get pregnant because they eff with your hormones so much you don't even want to pork to begin with.
+ Sterilization and longterm solutions such as IUDs are A) ridiculously expensive and B) generally frowned upon for a large chunk of the population by the doctors there to perform such procedures. Most GYNs still maintain that you can't get an IUD unless you've already had a kid. That isn't true AT ALL. - bigpappapunk, on 04/20/2009, -1/+29If you're gonna bang'er, pack a hanger
- ginnipig, on 04/20/2009, -4/+30just b/c it's not expected doesn't mean you won't love the ***** out of them.
congrats! I've got a 20m old girl. - Hercules, on 04/20/2009, -1/+26I don't think she thought much about it... we had a dry spell for a few weeks and that weekend was a reignition, so it was just off timing.
Either way, I'm not 15 years old, I've been married for a year so I don't mind having a child younger rather than older. As I'm told, it will be the best accident of my life :)
I'm excited. - yan89, on 04/20/2009, -1/+26In "Knocked Up" with Seth Rogen it's portrayed as a way for a fat pot smoker to get a hot girlfriend...
- jmandawg, on 04/20/2009, -1/+24How the hell do you read this, it's two columns that merge into one.
Forget about proper birth control, get a proper layout. - anteup, on 04/20/2009, -0/+23They've tried. They cause a lot of dudes to not be able to get it up. Apparently thats totally unacceptable. Nevermind the fact that HBC causes a lot of women to lose their libido. Apparently thats totally acceptable. *
"Trust me, doesn’t work so well if they are also on antibiotics…"
Valid point. A lot of people are never even told this.
*Note, I'm not advocating them approving it anyway. I'm saying they should be working on female HBC to get rid of those nasty side effects. - SpectralSounds, on 04/20/2009, -5/+27Don't be a knob, ask for a blow job.
Don't have a blooper, stick it in her pooper. - coheedcollapse, on 04/20/2009, -0/+21The pill is easy to take and that should never be a reason that anyone gets pregnant. My wife, as completely forgetful as she is, was able to remember her pill every night (I try to help out as well when I can, but she has it covered).
My wife and I recently decided that we were going to take her off of birth control. Not to have a kid (we're waiting for a while longer), but because the side effects were horrible for her. While there were beneficial side effects, there were also a lot of bad things that came along with it. Namely, loss of sex drive and raging mood swings the week after her period.
Apparently, we didn't even have it bad. When I look up comments and complaints about various birth control pills, almost all of them have droves of women complaining about a total loss of sex drive and a lot of mental side effects. It sucks that the pill that is supposed to allow you to have sex without getting pregnant has the ability to totally destroy the reason that you want to get it prescribed in the first place. - RobotBuddha, on 04/20/2009, -4/+24"Once you get out and start your career, you may find that it's difficult to take your pill every single day"
There's not a lot that makes me mad, but that did it. I've been on a 'far' more complicated system of having to regulate a shifting schedule of pills four times a day, 'and' manage what I eat on top of that, since I was around 12. And you know what, I'm happy for it. I'm grateful for it. I don't take it for granted. To hear someone reaping such a huge benefit from something so much less complex than what I was managing when just a kid is more than a little annoying. - duewydo, on 04/20/2009, -0/+19Yeah I don’t get that, I always hear about people or relatives trying to have a children and they try for years before things happen, and usually there are unfortunate losses in their attempts. But then everyone else around me out of a relationship who don’t want to have kids keep having oopsies..WTF???
- SDM187, on 04/20/2009, -0/+19"Back then we didn't have these fancy birth control methods. Like pulling out."
- laserdog, on 04/20/2009, -1/+19"Condoms smell like burnt rubber"
Dude, you might want to invest in some lube. I think yer doing it wrong... - ducksgoquak, on 04/20/2009, -0/+18Don't be a chump wrap your stump.
Don't be silly put a condom on your willy.
Don't be foolish, have sex with her sister instead. She's hotter anyway. - EnderWiggin, on 04/20/2009, -0/+18Yeah, but sex is like basketball -- you dribble before you shoot.
- leeloo200, on 04/20/2009, -0/+17Life... finds a way.
- webyatri, on 04/20/2009, -0/+16just give BJs
- SuperV, on 04/20/2009, -3/+19Congratulations! Same here, went about a week without them, forgot to tell me. Now I have a beautiful 7 month old girl! Best thing that's ever happened to me!
- SuperV, on 04/20/2009, -0/+15@ senlei23
That's what we thought too. My wife had been on the pill for at least 15 years and she missed it for one week and then got pregnant. Blew that theory out of the water. - ChronicColonic, on 04/20/2009, -1/+16I did not know you could get someone pregnant watching the Disney Channel. If that is the case, Miley Cyrus would have been pregnant years ago.
- inactive, on 04/20/2009, -0/+15"You're not allowed inside my teepee without a condom on your peepee." –ancient Cherokee proverb
- inactive, on 04/20/2009, -11/+25And let me guess... She didn't mention it to you until it was too late.
Most likely, not a mistake on her part. - anteup, on 04/20/2009, -2/+16Your trojuns cost a couple bucks per pack. Our birth control costs a minimum of 40 bucks(WITH insurance) if it doesn't come in a generic. ( a lot don't)
So, when our yearlies and HBC costs added up only comes to a couple bucks a month THEN you will have a point. - miqal, on 04/20/2009, -3/+16Getting pregnant is not an accident. Two people have sex. You don't hear "Oh I was on a nude beach and this guy tripped over my beach chair and then....."
...and rape is not an accident its a horrible crime. - icefairy17, on 04/20/2009, -0/+13I've been using the pill for 7 years and I have never missed a day. It is NOT hard to remember. I don't understand this article talking about how when women get careers it's harder for them to take a pill??? It's a tiny little pill! You don't even need water to take it! Just swallow the damn thing and that's it. I'm sick of irresponsible people acting like taking the pill every day is some massive chore, it's not. Taking care of an infant is a much bigger chore.
- duewydo, on 04/20/2009, -1/+13No offense, but I wouldn't trust a woman to take a pill every day to ensure that she would not get pregnant.
At least give me the choice. If you don’t trust me then you can get on the pill as well. I never said you couldn’t also take the pill. (I feel like I am arguing with my wife) - asgardshill, on 04/20/2009, -2/+14There's a word for men who depend on pulling out for birth control. That word is "Daddy".
- decker12, on 04/20/2009, -3/+14"Joy Migala, now 24, became pregnant more than a year ago."
Strange.. with our last kid, my wife definitely wasn't pregnant for more than a year. - PlanckTime, on 04/20/2009, -5/+16Congratulations. :) Children are wonderful.
