Yep.
And the fact remains: anytime two people engage in ANY form of intercourse, sabotaged contraceptives or not (assuming the woman is beyond puberty, but not yet through menopause), there is an
undebatable risk of pregnancy, whether either party wants that to happen or not.
It follows that EVERY time you have sex, there is an undebatable risk of either being responsible for a child for the rest of your life, or having "your" fetus (at least, that you contributed 50% to conceiving), be aborted. There are no two ways around this biological fact. It is the responsibility (and right) of the man to decide where he inserts his penis and ejaculates, knowing these undebatable risks that he is taking
every single time. And it is the responsibility (and right) of the woman to decide not only whether she will leave herself vulnerable to those same risks, but also what to do if/when she does actually become pregnant.
There are no equal rights in a discussion about pregnancy. The fact is that it is still the woman's body, not the man's. And it is the man's sperm, not his body, and not even his child yet (assuming the dominant argument for abortion, which is that it is a bunch of cells). It is a fetus, and as such, it belongs to its harborer until it emerges.
